Wasp Removal Boston
Do you need wasp removal? Stinging insects like wasps can be a nuisance and their stings can be quite painful. Unlike bees, wasps don’t make honey, and they aren’t nearly as beneficial to the environment.
Wasps will sting you as a method of defending themselves and their nests when they feel threatened. Wasps are also far more aggressive than the average bee species, making an encounter with them far more likely. When wasps move into your property and begin attacking you, your family or your pets, then it’s time for removal.
Types of Wasps for Wasp Removal Boston, MA
There are several species of wasps you may come across in Massachusetts, but the most common species you’ll have run-ins with are the paper wasps and the yellow jackets.
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps are named for their tendency to harvest and build nests out of paper and paper products. Paper wasps use the venom in their stings to paralyze their prey which they then carry back to their nests to feed their young. Paper wasps will sting due to perceived threats to them and their nests, and their stings can cause allergic reactions, which can sometimes be fatal in people severely allergic to wasp venom.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are a species of wasps that are yellow and black, known for their extremely powerful and painful sting. The yellow jacket venom is incredibly potent, and unlike bees, yellow jackets can sting more than once. Yellow jackets are also quick to anger and extremely aggressive, and will look for just about any excuse to attack and sting.
