What Type of Wasp or Nest Have You Found?
Not all wasps build the same type of nest.
The appearance and location of a nest can provide important clues about the species involved. Some wasps construct large enclosed paper nests high in trees, while others build open-comb nests beneath structures. Some species establish colonies underground, while others build nests inside walls, attics, chimneys, hollow trees, and other enclosed spaces.

Wasp, Hornet, Yellow Jacket & Other Stinging Insect Removal Services
Bald-Faced Hornet Nest Removal
Bald-faced hornets construct large enclosed aerial nests made from layered paper material. The outer envelope surrounds and protects the internal comb where the colony raises its young.
These distinctive gray or tan nests are commonly found suspended from trees, shrubs, roof overhangs, eaves, and other elevated locations.

Yellow Jacket Ground Nest Removal
Some yellow jackets build their nests underground in abandoned animal burrows, natural cavities, and other spaces beneath the soil.
A small hole in the ground may be the only visible sign of a much larger colony below the surface.
Repeated yellow jacket activity entering and exiting the same opening may indicate a subterranean nest.

Yellow Jacket Nest Removal Inside Your Home
Yellow jackets may establish colonies inside wall voids, attics, ceilings, soffits, rooflines, and other concealed structural spaces.
The nest itself may be completely hidden.
Homeowners may instead notice yellow jackets entering cracks in the exterior, emerging from walls, appearing inside the home, or repeatedly flying around a specific part of the structure.

European Hornet Nest Removal
European hornets are cavity-nesting wasps.
In natural environments, they may establish nests inside hollow tree trunks and other enclosed cavities. Around homes and businesses, they may also nest inside wall voids, attics, chimneys, soffits, roofline cavities, sheds, barns, and other structures.
The colony may be hidden from view, with hornets repeatedly entering and exiting a small opening.

Paper Wasp Removal
Paper wasps construct distinctive open-comb nests.
Unlike the enclosed nests of many yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets, paper wasp nests expose their hexagonal cells and are often attached to a surface by a narrow stalk.
These nests are commonly found beneath roof overhangs, eaves, porch ceilings, decks, sheds, barns, and other protected areas.

Not Sure What You Found?
Start With Wasp Nest Identification
A nest hanging from a tree is different from a nest inside a wall.
An open-comb nest beneath a porch is different from an enclosed paper nest.
A small hole in the ground may lead to a subterranean yellow jacket colony, while a large wasp repeatedly entering a hollow tree may indicate a cavity-nesting species.
Our Wasp Nest Identification Guide helps you compare the appearance and location of the nest you have found with common wasp, hornet, and stinging insect nesting behaviors.
