Threat to You 

Care must be taken when an active nest is found as they will sting you if they feel the need to protect the nest. The painful sting from a wasp can bring on a serious allergic reaction that can cause death in some people.

The nest looks so simple why shouldn’t I do it myself?

There many over the counter products that one can buy from any big box retailer; however, if not applied correctly and if your not wearing some form of protective gear you can be seriously hurt from swarming wasps. It is highly recommended that the pest professionals from Power Pest Control eliminate your wasp nest safely so that you or your family does not get hurt!

Treatment and Elimination

The best way to eliminate the nest is by dusting the points of entry with a thin layer of dust as such when they come in contact with the insecticide it will eliminate them immediately

It is also recommended that once holes have been treated that they are sealed by the client to prevent other insects from harbouring the excavated galleries that were created by the bees.
