Wasp Control And Nest Removal
Safe, Professional Help For Wasp Problems
Finding a wasp nest on your home or business can make you feel like your own property is off limits. Whether it is near a doorway, deck, or playground, you know that one wrong move can lead to painful stings. You should not have to choose between risking a sting and putting off your daily routine.
At Newtown Termite & Pest Control, we provide safe, professional wasp control so you do not have to go near the nest yourself. Our local team has been protecting homes and businesses across the Greater Delaware Valley since 1993, and we bring that experience to every wasp problem we inspect. We start with a free, no obligation inspection, then build a custom plan to remove the nest and address wasp activity around your property.
Our goal is simple. We work to make your home feel safe again as quickly as possible, using eco friendly treatments and clear communication so you always know what to expect.
Why Safe Wasp Removal Matters
Wasps are more than a nuisance. When they feel threatened, they can become highly aggressive, swarming from the nest and stinging repeatedly. This is especially concerning around children, pets, and anyone with a known allergy to stings. A single disturbed nest can turn a quiet afternoon into an emergency visit.
In the Greater Delaware Valley, we often see nests tucked into soffits, under roof overhangs, behind shutters, under decks, and inside sheds or play structures. Wasps can also build nests in bushes and trees near walkways and outdoor seating. These hidden spots make it easy to bump or shake a nest without realizing it is there until the wasps respond.
Many people first reach for a store bought spray or try to knock a nest down with a tool. These do it yourself methods can scatter wasps, damage the nest without eliminating the colony, and drive insects deeper into wall voids or attic spaces. They may also put you directly in the flight path of angry wasps, which increases the chance of multiple stings.
Professional removal is different. Our technicians have the training, equipment, and products to approach nests carefully, apply treatments in a controlled way, and reduce the risk of swarming. We also know how to identify different types of stinging insects so we can match the approach to the behavior of the pest on your property.

Our safe, eco friendly approach is especially important for wasp treatments. We focus on solutions that are tough on pests but considerate of your family, pets, and the environment.

Our Wasp Inspection And Treatment
When you reach out about a possible nest, we want you to know exactly what will happen next. That is why we follow a clear three step process that keeps you informed from the first phone call to the final check.
Step 1: Free Wasp Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection at no cost and with no obligation. Our technician will walk the interior and exterior of your property, focusing on the areas where you have seen wasps and other likely nesting spots. We look for active nests, signs of previous nests, and conditions that may attract stinging insects.
During this visit, we also talk with you about when and where you notice the most activity. If the nest is in a sensitive area, such as near a children’s playset or business entrance, we factor that into how we prioritize treatment. At the end of the inspection, we explain what we found in plain language and outline your options.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
No two properties are exactly alike, and wasp behavior can vary by species and location. We build a custom plan that fits your property, your schedule, and the level of activity around the nest. This plan typically includes targeted treatment of the nest itself, residual treatment in key areas, and recommendations for sealing or adjusting features that attract wasps.
Our wasp nest removal approach always considers safety first. We choose products that are effective against wasps and that align with our eco friendly philosophy. When we need to apply materials in areas where children or pets spend time, we clearly explain any short term precautions, such as keeping people and animals away from treated surfaces until they are dry.
Step 3: Wasp Nest Removal And Follow Up
Once treatment is in place and wasps are no longer actively defending the nest, we remove or neutralize it wherever it is safely possible to do so. This might involve taking down nests from eaves, removing nests from sheds, or carefully addressing nests inside voids using access panels or other openings.
After the initial visit, we stay available to you. If you see continued activity in the treated area, our service guarantee means we will return and re treat the affected zones at no additional charge. Our technicians explain what normal, tapering activity may look like, how long to expect before the area is clear, and what signs should prompt a follow up call.
Keeping Wasps From Coming Back
Removing an active nest is an important first step, but long term relief comes from reducing the chances that wasps will choose your property again. During your inspection and treatment, we look closely at the conditions around your home that might encourage new nests. This can include gaps in siding, open soffits, unsealed utility lines, and sheltered corners under decks or porch roofs.
In the Greater Delaware Valley, wasp activity typically increases as the weather warms and outdoor spaces get more use. That is when uncovered trash, outdoor eating areas, and sugary drinks around pools or patios can draw foraging wasps. Simple changes, such as using tightly sealed trash cans and cleaning up food and drink promptly, can make a real difference in how attractive your property is to stinging insects.
Our team can recommend practical steps tailored to your home, such as sealing specific openings, adjusting outdoor lighting, or trimming vegetation that provides cover near entrances and walkways. When you choose one of our ongoing pest protection plans, we incorporate monitoring for wasp activity during routine visits, especially through spring and summer. This gives us a chance to catch small nests early, often before they become a major concern.
If wasps do return to treated areas between scheduled visits, our straightforward guarantee means you can call us back without worrying about additional treatment charges. We come out, reassess the situation, and re treat the affected spots so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor spaces.
