Why Wasp Emergencies Can’t Wait
Wasps are more than just an outdoor nuisance; they can become an emergency when nests are close to homes, businesses, or areas where people gather. A single disturbance can trigger an aggressive swarm, resulting in painful stings and severe allergic reactions. If you have a wasp nest near entryways, patios, or play areas, quick and safe removal is especially critical.
Recognizing a Wasp Emergency
You may need emergency service if you notice:
- A large, active nest near doors, windows, or high-traffic areas
- Wasps swarming around garbage cans, patios, or playgrounds
- Increased aggression when you’re nearby
- Stings are occurring more frequently in the area
- You’re allergic to wasp stings and see any wasp activity
Even if none of these are true for you, it’s still okay to consider seeing a wasp or a nest an emergency. Many people may be allergic and do not yet know, so it’s never wrong to play it safe.
Why DIY Wasp Removal Is Risky
Wasps can be highly territorial, can repeatedly sting, and multiple wasps will sting from a single nest. Attempting to remove a wasp nest yourself can lead to:
- Multiple stings in mere seconds
- Allergic reactions that may require medical attention
- Incomplete removal, allowing the colony to rebuild
Professional removal ensures the queen is eliminated, preventing the nest from re-establishing, and protects you and those you love from potential stings and life-threatening allergic reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How soon can you arrive for an emergency wasp removal?
If you’re in Somerset, KY, early calls will receive same-day removal, and later calls will receive next-day removal (in most cases).
Is it safe for my kids and pets during treatment?
Yes. The products and methods we use are chosen for both safety and effectiveness.
Do you remove nests in hard-to-reach places?
Sometimes it’s not possible to remove the actual nest. However, in all cases, we ensure that the nest is uninhabitable so that it cannot be reused. If the nest is within reach and can be removed, we will remove the nest. Either way, we will kill the nest and all the wasps. (NOTE – Sometimes workers that were not present at the time of treatment may return to the nest. However, they will be killed by the treatment even days later.)
