As summer progresses across the United States, wasps and hornets become increasingly active. By late summer, they’re at their most aggressive as they defend their nests. Whether you’re relaxing on your deck, working in the yard, or spending time with family, the last thing you want is an unexpected encounter with a swarm of stinging insects.
Where Wasps and Hornets Like to Nest
Wasps and hornets look for sheltered locations that provide protection from rain, wind, and predators. Many nests are hidden from view, making them difficult and potentially dangerous to locate on your own. Common nesting areas include:
- Under eaves and roof overhangs
- Inside sheds, garages, and barns
- Behind shutters or siding
- Decks, porches, and outdoor structures
- Trees, shrubs, and dense landscaping
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Mid-to-late summer, hornets become more defensive of their colonies, increasing the risk of painful stings. Attempting to remove a nest yourself can quickly turn into a hazardous situation, especially if the nest is large or hidden inside a structure. The sooner a nest is identified and treated, the easier it is to eliminate the problem before the colony continues to grow.
