Summer is a time for barbeques, pool parties, and the outdoors. But unwelcome guests like wasps can quickly turn your backyard bash into a buzzing nightmare. While wasps play a role in the ecosystem, their nests can threaten your property and safety.
Cornerstone Pest Control can help you regain control of your yard. Here, we’ll guide you through identifying wasp nests and share some essential prevention tips:
Identifying a Wasp Nest
- Location: Wasps love building nests in sheltered areas. Typical spots include eaves, under decks, inside wall cavities, or grills that haven’t been used in a while.
- Shape and Material: Wasp nests are typically grey or brown and papery in texture. They can be round or oval-shaped and range in size from a softball to a basketball.
- Activity: If you notice a steady stream of wasps entering and exiting a specific area, that’s a strong indicator of a nest.

Preventative Measures:
