Seasonal yard treatments for mosquitoes and safe removal of wasp, hornet and yellow jacket nests near the home.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes breed in standing water: clogged gutters, plant saucers, birdbaths, tarps and low spots in the yard. Removing water every few days and treating resting areas in shrubs and shade cut numbers sharply.
Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets
- Paper wasps build open umbrella nests under eaves and porch ceilings
- Yellow jackets often nest in the ground or wall voids and defend aggressively
- Mud daubers build tube nests and rarely sting
Do not seal a wall void with wasps inside; they can chew into the house. Large or hidden nests are best left to a professional.
