Wasp Control
in Villanova, Pennsylvania

Villanova, PA, is the home of Villanova University and the NCAA Division I men’s basketball team. It’s also known for Stoneleigh: A Natural Garden, Appleford Estate, and Radnor Trail, a favorite place for walking and biking. The neighborhoods are made up of large estates with sprawling lawns and mature trees. The homes are a mix of historic stone, renovated farmhouses, and modern wood-built. Villanova has many green spaces and parks, such as Willows Park Preserve.

The changing seasons, featuring warm summers and cold winters, are ideal to support pest populations. Wasps are a particular problem in the late summer and early fall because the insects get more aggressive in their quest to find food sources as they get scarcer.

The Importance of Wasp Control

Wasp stings are painful, and they can trigger serious reactions if you’re allergic. This includes anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening reaction requiring immediate medical attention. Another danger of wasps is their ability to sting multiple times. They typically only get aggressive and attack if they feel threatened, which happens if you unknowingly approach their nest. This is a problem because nests are often hard to spot. Wasps like to build them in hidden places like under eaves, inside hollow trees, in gutters, and even inside wall voids. When threatened, wasps can release pheromones that cause many of them to attack at once.

When to Call a Wasp Exterminator

The risk of an allergic reaction means that you should never attempt to remove a wasp nest on your own. At Viking Pest, we have decades of experience and training, so our team knows how to remove nests and wasps from your property safely. Give us a call if you start to see more wasps around your home, or if you spot a nest.

You can help to deter wasps by keeping your space clean and free of tempting food sources. Wasps like sugars and proteins. They may come to your yard for your flowers, fruit trees, or pet food left outside. The food residue left behind from grilling and picnics is also tempting to wasps. Make sure to clean up after eating outdoors by removing leftover food, wiping down surfaces, and placing trash in sealed bins.

Viking’s team can also assist with removing other bothersome pests. We offer SMART rodent control, a 24/7 monitoring system, seasonal mosquito control, flea and tick control, and termite control. Our services start with an assessment of your property to identify current pest problems and entry points, and provide you with recommendations to safeguard your property. For termite control, we recommend Sentricon bait stations to aid in termite nest removal. The bait kills off the entire colony, and our monitoring to refill the stations keeps them away.
