Bug
Unlike bees, wasps and hornets are not major pollinators – and they tend to be more aggressive, especially when defending their nests. When these stinging insects build nests near homes, they pose serious safety risks, particularly for children, pets, and individuals with allergies. Wasp and hornet infestations are commonly found in attics, wall voids, under roof eaves, inside sheds, and even underground.
Reproduction & Lifespan: Wasp and hornet colonies grow rapidly during the warmer months. A queen begins nesting in spring and can produce thousands of offspring over the season. Worker wasps and hornets typically live for several weeks, while queens can survive through winter to start new colonies the following year. As colonies expand, nests become more aggressive and harder to remove safely. Early detection and professional removal are essential to prevent painful stings and recurring infestations.
Common Columbus Species:
Wasps and hornets typically enter homes and structures through small cracks in siding, roof eaves, soffits, vents, or gaps around windows and doors. They’re drawn to protected, undisturbed areas like attics, wall voids, sheds, and even underground burrows. Some species, like yellowjackets, prefer hidden cavities, while paper wasps favor exposed spots under ledges or eaves. Mud daubers seek out crevices to build their signature tube-shaped nests using mud.

Wasp and hornet pest control, treatment, and prevention requires professional expertise, protective gear, and safe treatment methods to eliminate the nest and prevent future infestations. Unlike bees, relocation isn’t typically an option – these pests are usually exterminated due to their aggressive nature and lack of pollinator value.
On average, wasp and hornet treatment typically ranges from $150 to $600, depending on the species, nest size, and location (e.g. underground, inside walls, or high up on structures). Additional costs may apply for emergency service, structural repairs, or preventative treatments to keep them from returning.
