Wasps Ruining Your Yard Time? Let's Take Care of It.
Nothing's more miserable than trying to enjoy your backyard when wasps are flying overhead. Whether they're hiding under the eaves, swarming on your deck, or buzzing around the playground where the kids play, they make relaxing into stressing in a hurry. And if anyone in your household is allergic, it's not just a nuisance—it's a danger.
That's where we come in. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we've helped families in Hanover get rid of wasps the right way, without the theatrics.
First things first— we do a full walk-around of your property to observe where the wasps are nesting. Some nest under eaves, some underground, and different wasps behave differently. Knowing what kind of wasp we are dealing with informs us how to approach the situation and what equipment we will be using to accomplish the task. We try to get the work accomplished as efficiently and effectively as possible without too much risk to your property.
When we locate the nest, we apply a pinpoint treatment with chemicals that eliminate the colony at its source. We do it at the best time of day (low activity), and once the activity ceases, we eliminate the nest completely. No mess, no speculation. Our team covers the difficult areas and leaves no wasps behind.
Once they're eliminated, we treat the immediate area—soffits, rooflines, sheds, and fences for instance—so that incoming wasps won't build in those spots again. These treatments form a barrier that closes their return path before it gets an opportunity to start. Eradicating these hotspots discourages new nests and constitutes long-term protection.
We'll leave you with quick, sensible tips to render your property uninviting to wasps: e.g., blocking up gaps, trimming long branches, and covering outdoor food. Simple things that put you in control.
We're Around Occasionally nests are found in places you never even considered you might have them. If you still notice activity, we're happy to come back and conduct another inspection. We don't leave until you can comfortably enjoy your yard once again, without wasps.
Bug Squashers of Maryland makes wasp issues more manageable. One easy call, and you're enjoying a sting-free summer.
A sunny picnic in the backyard becomes stressful the moment you notice that unmistakable hum. Wasps are not only unwelcome—they're mean, territorial, and even harmful. If you've seen unusual activity around your home, it may be the sign that wasps are on the move. Here's what to look for early on:
It's to be expected to get the occasional wasp buzzing by. But if you're noticing them every day—especially around your porch, deck, or outdoor eating areas—it's a warning sign. Wasps are territorial and will fly around nesting areas. If they seem to be flying around in a patrol, the nest is likely nearby.
Wasp nests are spherical, papery, and hanging from tree branches, sheds, eaves, or in wall cavities. In-ground nests are loose dirt surrounding small holes. Don't touch it if you spot one—wasps get angry very quickly when threatened.
Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly and will do so if threatened within their space. When you see wasps flying aggressively at you or following you inside, they are not just flying by—but they have tagged you as their space.
Paper wasps chew wood to build nests. If you've seen unusual little grooves on deck rails or fences, or little mud nests (mud daubers), you might be looking at an active site of wasps.
Wasp do not normally enter your house unless they are nesting in or very close to your house. If you only have a wasp or two wasps in your attic or bathroom, then it may be that there is a hidden nest in the wall or ceiling. Wasps are not insects you want to play with. If you see any, or all, of the following indications, it is time to call in the professionals.
At Bug Squashers Maryland, we locate and remove wasp nests effectively—so you can take back your backyard without the stings.
Wasps are often confused with bees, but they're very different. While fuzzy, pollen-gathering bees are smooth-bodied and have thin waists, wasps are slender-waisted and smooth-bodied with more aggressive dispositions. While bees sting and die once, wasps sting repeatedly—and they don't need much of a reason to do it. Their territorial behavior makes them a dangerous backyard pest during warmer months.
Although a pest, wasps are not as bad as one might think. Wasps are also a form of natural pest control, feeding on flies, caterpillars, and spiders. But when they build their nests near houses or sidewalks, their presence becomes hazardous—especially to people with allergies. And when provoked, they will not hesitate to defend their nest.
Wasps begin constructing nests in the spring and continue to expand them all summer long. Nests will appear under eaves, trees, attics, sheds, and even within wall cavities. A tiny nest can turn into a monster colony in a matter of weeks, particularly when the weather is warm. These nests can be filled with hundreds of buzzing intruders by late summer.
Depending on the type, a single wasp nest contains hundreds to thousands of wasps. Social wasps, like yellow jackets and hornets, are defensive of their colony. Too close, and you might risk a swarm—and a few stings in a few seconds. Due to their reaction time, they are difficult and dangerous to eliminate without the proper equipment.
Stinging pain, redness, and swelling result from a wasp sting. It is a temporary inconvenience for most people. However, to some people who are allergic to them, one sting is sufficient to trigger life-threatening conditions like anaphylaxis. That is why you should never try to eliminate a nest yourself. Let the professionals handle it safely and carefully.
We at Bug Squashers of Maryland safely and effectively eliminate wasp nests from homes and business properties. Our professional personnel identifies the type, locates hidden nests, and uses specialized treatments to deter re-nesting and re-infestation.
Don't let wasps take over your yard—call Bug Squashers and regain your sense of peace of mind.
