Wasp or Hornet Nest on Property — New York, New York
A wasp or hornet nest near doors, eaves, play areas, or garden sheds poses a serious sting risk, especially for anyone with allergies. Disturbing the nest without protective equipment and proper insecticide can provoke a swarm attack. A pest-control technician identifies the species, treats or removes the nest safely—often at dusk when the colony is least active—and recommends deterrents to prevent rebuilding.
