Wasps and hornets are often mistaken for each other, but there are some key differences between them. Wasps are typically slender and have a smooth body with few hairs. They have a narrow waist and long legs. Hornets, on the other hand, are larger and more robust than wasps. They have a thicker waist and shorter legs.

While most species of wasps and hornets are not aggressive, some species can be dangerous to humans. Yellow jackets, for example, are a type of wasp that can be aggressive and sting multiple times. Common species of wasps found in our area are Mud Daubers or Dirt Daubers.  Some other species to look out for are Paper Wasps and Bald Face Hornets.  

If you suspect a Bald Face Hornet or Paper Wasp infestation on your property, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself and your family.  If you need to remove a wasp nest or hornet nest, it’s important to seek the help of trained professionals. Attempting to remove a nest yourself can be dangerous and increase the risk of getting stung. 

At Mantis Pest Solutions, we offer professional and effective wasp and hornet control services to eliminate these pests from your property.  If you are noticing Mud Daubers, Paper Wasps or Bald Face Hornets around your home, our licensed technicians use a variety of methods to get rid of these stinging pests.  These include insecticides, baits, traps, and physical removal of nests.



Allergen risks associated with wasps & hornets

Wasps and hornets are both known for their painful stings, but they also pose a serious risk to those with allergies. For people who are allergic to wasp or hornet venom, a sting can trigger a severe immune response that can be life-threatening. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, rapid heartbeat, and dizziness.  

If you suspect you have a wasp or hornet infestation on your property, or notice a wasp or hornet nest, it’s crucial to contact a licensed pest control professional to safely and effectively remove the nest. Attempting to remove a nest yourself can be dangerous and increase the risk of getting stung.  These stinging pests pose a serious health risk to humans and animals and need a pest control professional who has the knowledge and equipment needed to handle the situation safely.

Wasp and Hornets Removal Process

Mantis Pest Solutions offers professional and effective wasp and hornet control services to eliminate these stinging pests from your property. Our licensed technicians will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the location of wasp nests and extent of the infestation. Based on the inspection, we will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation.

Our technicians use a variety of methods to get rid of wasps and hornets, along with wasp nests and hornet nests.  Their tactics of ridding your home of these stinging pests include: insecticides, baits, traps, and physical removal of hornet nests. Insecticides may be sprayed directly on the wasp nest or applied in a wider area around the nest to prevent the insects from returning or establishing a new wasp nest. Baits and traps may also be used to attract the insects and eliminate them.

Physical removal of the wasp nest or hornet nest may be necessary in certain situations.  When the nest is located in a high-traffic area or poses a safety risk, these flying pests must be removed.  Our technicians are equipped with the necessary protective equipment and tools to safely remove the nest without disturbing the insects and causing them to swarm.

At Mantis Pest Solutions, we prioritize the safety of our customers and their families. Rid your home of these stinging pests by using our environmentally friendly methods which are safe for both humans and pets. We also offer preventative treatments to help keep wasps and hornets from returning to your property.

Great Quality!

Mantis is great quality at a reasonable prices. I've used them for about a year and my insect issues are non-existent. Scheduling is a breeze and they come when they say they will come. Never been an issue having a technician come out between regular service intervals as well. Derek was super polite, professional and punctual. In addition to him taking care of the wasps nests, he even applied a granular barrier in the event rain washed out the spray application. Overall, a highly satisfied customer!

Paul K. / Lee's Summit, MO
