A wasp nest by the door is a real hazard, especially for kids or anyone allergic. Where it is hidden decides how we get to it.
Wasps around the door, or a nest you cannot reach? Paper wasps hang combs under the eaves, and yellowjackets nest in the ground and in walls and turn mean by late summer. We clear the nest and treat the spot so it is not rebuilt. If it turns out to be honey bees, those are handled differently, not killed, so we check first.
Paper wasps hang open combs under eaves and rails. Yellowjackets nest in the ground, wall voids and attics and turn aggressive in late summer. Hornets build large enclosed nests. Each nest location changes how it is reached and removed, and a nest near a door or a child's play area is a real stinging hazard.
Honey bees are beneficial pollinators and are not treated as a pest to exterminate. If what you have is a honey bee colony rather than wasps, that calls for live removal, so we identify the insect before doing anything.
