Wasps Become Active Every Summer

As temperatures rise across Sumner County, wasps begin building nests around homes.

Ignoring a small nest today can lead to a much larger colony within weeks.

Common Nest Locations

Look around:

  • Roof eaves
  • Decks
  • Mailboxes
  • Playsets
  • Garages
  • Sheds
  • Porch ceilings

Never Knock Down a Nest

Many homeowners attempt DIY removal.

Unfortunately, disturbing a nest often causes defensive swarming and increases the risk of multiple stings.

Prevent Wasps

  • Seal small openings
  • Keep garbage cans covered
  • Clean outdoor eating areas
  • Remove old nests during winter
  • Schedule seasonal inspections
