Common Wasps & Hornets in Moore & Oklahoma

Stinging Insects You May Encounter:

Paper Wasp – Brownish with yellow markings. Builds open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and in shrubs. Moderate aggression.
Bald-Faced Hornet – Black with white markings. Builds large, enclosed, football-shaped nests in trees and shrubs. Very aggressive – will chase threats.
European Hornet – Large (1-1.5 inches), brown with yellow stripes. Builds nests in hollow trees, wall voids, and attics. Aggressive at night.
Yellowjacket – Black with bright yellow markings. Builds nests underground, in wall voids, and in attics. Very aggressive – can sting repeatedly.

Cicada Killer Wasp – Large (1-2 inches), black with yellow markings. Digs burrows in lawns. Not aggressive toward humans but females can sting if handled.

Health Risks from Wasps and Hornets

Wasp and hornet stings can cause:

Painful stings – Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting multiple times without dying.
Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) – Can cause difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, dizziness, and even death. Requires immediate medical attention.
Localized swelling and redness – Normal reaction to stings, but can be severe.
Secondary infections – Scratching sting sites can lead to skin infections.
Danger to pets – Dogs and cats can be stung multiple times, leading to serious reactions.

Why Wasps & Hornets Build Nests Near Moore Homes

Wasps and hornets are attracted to:

Protected areas – Under eaves, soffits, decks, and in attics or wall voids (shelter from weather)
Food sources – Sugary drinks, fruit, garbage, pet food, and other insects (they feed on nectar and other insects)
Water sources – Birdbaths, pools, leaky faucets, and pet water bowls
Existing holes and cracks – Yellowjackets often nest in abandoned rodent burrows, wall voids, and attics
Trees and shrubs – Bald-faced hornets prefer trees; paper wasps prefer shrubs and eaves

Our Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal Process

Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your Moore property – eaves, soffits, trees, shrubs, attics, wall voids, and underground – to locate all wasp and hornet nests.

Step 2: Species Identification

Why You Should Never Remove a Wasp or Hornet Nest Yourself

Dangers of DIY Nest Removal:

Multiple stings – Wasps and hornets can sting repeatedly and will swarm to defend their nest.
Allergic reactions – You may not know you’re allergic until you’re stung. Anaphylaxis can be fatal.
Hidden nests – Nests in walls or attics may have multiple entrances. Disturbing one can cause wasps to enter your home.
Ineffective over-the-counter products – Store-bought sprays often don’t reach deep enough to kill the entire colony.
Falling from ladders – Many people are injured falling from ladders while trying to reach high nests.

Call a professional – it’s safer and more effective!

Wasp & Hornet Prevention Tips for Moore Homeowners

Seal entry points – Caulk cracks and gaps in eaves, soffits, and walls where wasps can enter
Secure garbage cans – Keep lids tight and clean spills promptly
Cover food and drinks – When eating outdoors, keep food covered and drinks in cups with lids
Remove fallen fruit – Fruit trees attract wasps; pick up fallen fruit immediately
Eliminate standing water – Empty birdbaths, kiddie pools, and pet water bowls regularly
Maintain landscaping – Trim shrubs and trees away from your home; remove dead branches
Use wasp traps – Place wasp traps away from areas where people gather
Fill abandoned rodent burrows – Yellowjackets often nest in old burrows; fill them with soil
Schedule early spring inspections – Queen wasps start building nests in spring. Early removal prevents large colonies.

When Wasp & Hornet Season Peaks in Moore & Oklahoma

Spring (March–May): Queen wasps emerge and start building nests. BEST TIME FOR PREVENTION.
Summer (June–August): PEAK SEASON – Colonies reach maximum size; wasps are most aggressive.
Fall (September–November): Wasps become more aggressive as food sources decline; workers may sting without provocation.
Winter (December–February): Colonies die off except for new queens that hibernate. Existing nests are empty but should be removed.

Early spring is the best time to prevent wasp problems. Call us before colonies grow large!
