How to tell if you have a wasp infestation

Early intervention is generally far more effective in eliminating wasp infestations. If you want, you can look for signs of wasp activity not only in your yard but also within your home.

Increased wasp activity

A large increase in wasp activity is probably one of the most noticeable signs of wasp infestation. If you notice a large group of wasps flying around your home, especially in a concentrated area, it might mean there’s a nest nearby.

Wasps are generally more active throughout the night, so the chances of you meeting them around that time are higher. If you notice a lot of wasps swarming around a designated area, like a tree or a bush, it’s also important to stay away and even call a professional pest control company to handle that situation.

Nesting sites

If you want to get rid of wasps, you need to know where to find them. They choose mostly sheltered areas, like eaves, porches, attics, and trees.

They also prefer areas that are mainly protected from the elements and provide cover from unwanted predators. If, by any chance, you notice a nest or even multiple ones around your property, the chances of dealing with a wasp infestation are high.
