Wasp Pest Control In Los Angeles

Mud Daubers

Mud daubers are a type of wasp that make their nest from mud. These nests are often attached to walls, eaves and ceilings. These wasps rarely sting people and often keep to themselves, however their nests are unsightly and many home owners wish to have them removed to preserve the structure.

Paper Wasps

Paper wasps are about an inch and a quarter in length and make their nests from cellulose fibers from dead wood and plants. Their nests are water resistant and have a distinctive pattern, similar to honeycomb with no covering. These wasps are not typically aggressive, but they do build their nests in eaves and ceiling structures.

Yellow Jackets/Hornets

Yellow jackets are half an inch to one inch long. They are usually black with some yellow markings. Yellow jackets make their nests in eaves, attics and sometimes underground spaces around yards. These wasps are often aggressive and will sting multiple times if threatened. Unlike honey bees, a wasp’s stinger is smooth, so they are able to sting more than once. Their stings are painful and can be fatal in some instances.
