By mid-May, wasps begin establishing new nests around homes, garages, sheds, and under eaves. While often mistaken as harmless unless provoked, some species—like yellow jackets and paper wasps—can become highly aggressive during the warmer months.
At Advanced Pest Management, we specialize in the safe and effective removal of stinging insect nests, ensuring your outdoor spaces are safe as we head into summer.
Where Do Wasps Nest?
Common nesting sites in NYC include:
Roof overhangs and gutters
Outdoor furniture and grill covers
Tree limbs and shrubbery
Attic rafters and vents
Light fixtures and awnings
If you notice a golf ball–sized paper nest forming—or already see wasps flying in and out—it’s time to call in a professional.
Why You Should Never DIY Wasp Removal
Attempting to remove a wasp nest without the proper tools or experience can lead to dangerous stings, allergic reactions, or even structural damage. Our trained technicians wear protective equipment and use targeted treatments to neutralize nests safely.
We also inspect surrounding areas to ensure that secondary nests aren’t forming, giving you long-lasting protection. Our commercial and residential services are customized based on the species and level of activity.
Ongoing Protection for Your Property
Preventing wasp nests starts with proactive steps:
Seal cracks around rooflines and windows
Remove food sources from outdoor areas
