A nest near the house means hundreds of wasps and a real danger for children and allergic individuals. We remove it safely — even at height — and treat the spot so they don't come back.
Wasps and hornets look for a quiet spot to build their nest and for sugary food: a small opening in the roof or shed, food and drinks left outside, fruit trees, an undisturbed corner of gutter or balcony. Even if you can't see the nest, the danger is real — a single mature nest holds several hundred wasps, and they get more aggressive as fall approaches.
The colony dies at the first frost, true — but September and October are exactly when wasps are most aggressive. Tolerating a nest near a door, deck or window all summer is a risky bet, especially with kids.
No, a nest is never reused. But a location that pleased one queen (soffit, shed, cornice) is likely to attract another in spring — which is why we treat the spot preventively after removal.
Bees (stocky, fuzzy) are protected and precious: for a compact swarm, contact a beekeeper — many collect swarms for free. Wasps (bright yellow, smooth, thin waist) and hornets are the dangerous ones near homes. Unsure? Send us a photo — identification is free.
