Signs You Have a Wasp or Bee Infestation

While wasps and bees can be a nuisance, they also play an important role in the environment. Without wasps and bees, there would be a lot more insect pests, and many of the plants we enjoy wouldn't be able to grow. That being said, it's important to keep these insects in balance, and if you find that you have too many of them on your property, you should take steps to have them removed.

Here are some of the most common signs that you have a wasp or bee problem:

  • You see a lot of wasps flying around
  • You see wasp nests near your home
  • You see lots of dead insects around your property
  • You notice that your plants have been damaged
  • You see a lot of bees on your property

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call our team as soon as possible. If you wait too long, the problem could get even worse, and you could end up with a full-blown infestation. Let our team get to work as soon as possible so that you can get back to enjoying your property.

Commonly Asked Questions

What can I do to prevent wasps from returning after removal?

After our team has successfully removed a wasp nest, certain preventive measures can help deter new infestations. Sealing potential nesting sites, such as vents, eaves, and overhangs is crucial. Additionally, keeping outdoor areas clean and free of food remnants can minimize attraction. Utilizing certain repellents or planting specific herbs, like mint or citronella, may also help keep wasps at bay. Ultimately, maintaining a vigilant approach will provide the best chance of preventing wasps from returning to your property in Clackamas County.

How can I tell if a wasp nest is active or abandoned?

Indicators of an active wasp nest include frequent wasp activity around a specific area, such as consistent flying patterns to and from a particular spot. In contrast, an abandoned nest typically shows none of this behavior and may appear weathered or damaged. It's important to exercise caution when assessing the type of nest, as disturbing an active nest can provoke a defensive response from the wasps. To ensure your safety, contacting our professional team in Lake Oswego or Gresham for an evaluation and removal service is a wise choice.
