Professional Wasp & Hornet Control for Central Virginia Homes
Safe removal of aggressive stinging insects and their nests with professional equipment and expertise
Wasp and Hornet Stings Can Be Life-Threatening
Wasps and hornets are aggressive defenders of their nests, capable of multiple stings that inject painful venom. Unlike bees, they don't lose their stingers and can attack repeatedly. Some people experience severe allergic reactions that require immediate medical attention. PestNow Central Virginia provides safe, professional wasp and hornet control that eliminates nests and prevents dangerous encounters with your family and pets.
Why Professional Wasp & Hornet Control Matters:
Safety protection - preventing painful stings and allergic reactions
Complete nest removal - eliminating entire colonies, not just visible insects
Proper equipment - protective gear and specialized treatment products
Strategic timing - treating nests when most effective and safest
Prevention strategies - reducing attractants and nesting opportunities
Common Stinging Insects in Central Virginia
Yellow Jackets
Aggressive ground and wall nesters
Highly aggressive wasps that build large colonies in ground burrows, wall voids, and attic spaces. They're attracted to food and drinks, making outdoor dining dangerous. Yellow jackets become increasingly aggressive in late summer and fall.
Paper Wasps
Umbrella-shaped nest builders
Long-legged wasps that build distinctive paper nests under eaves, porch ceilings, and outdoor structures. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will defend their nests vigorously when threatened or disturbed.
Bald-Faced Hornets
Large, aggressive aerial nesters
Large black and white hornets that build football-sized paper nests in trees and shrubs. Extremely aggressive defenders that can spray venom at intruders from several feet away. Their stings are particularly painful.
