Wasp/Bee Extermination in Leesburg, VA

It’s no fun dealing with any type of pests…  but with stinging pests there’s more than just your comfort you should be worried about. Stinging pests can pose a serious threat to your health and safety, especially if you or a loved one is allergic. They are members of the Hymenoptera Order and include wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and bees. Some of these species are more aggressive than others, but all of them have the potential to sting, which makes them fairly dangerous pests.

Wasps and other stinging pests tend to make their nests in trees, bushes, on the eaves or siding of homes, or even in the ground. Occasionally, they can also find their way into attics or ventilation systems where they can begin forming nests as well.

Being such perilous pests, you should always try to be aware of where wasp nests are (or may be) and avoid getting too close. Technical officer of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), Natalie Bungay, warns that, “a wasp in distress emits a pheromone that sends nearby colony members into a defensive, stinging frenzy.” If you accidentally disturb a nest, or happen to come face to face with an aggressive wasp, get indoors immediately and be sure to call in professional help to have the nest removed safely.
