Wasp Exterminators in Utah

While wasps won’t actively seek out people to sting them, wasp stings still result in hundreds of thousands of hospital visits every year. Wasps sting when they feel threatened or when their nests are threatened. Some types of wasps have hidden nests that are easy to overlook and stumble upon. For Utah wasp control, it is important to first identify what kind of wasps you’re dealing with because it will influence the type of treatment plan needed.

While wasp exterminators in Utah are trained to deal with wasp nests and can seal off wasp entry points, the best treatment for wasps is prevention. Thorn Pest Solutions will identify food sources and environments enticing to wasps and advise you on how to prevent wasps from nesting near your home or business.

Thorn’s Wasp Removal Process:

1. Inspect the property and surrounding areas

2. Identify the nesting spots

3. Identify food sources including honeydew producing insects and dumpsters or trash cans

4. Assess the situation and create a treatment strategy dependent on the property and stinging insect species.

5. Perform the work

6. Create strategy for addressing food attractions

7. Remove nest when possible or prudent (sometimes nests need to be left for a short period of time to get results)

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting rid of wasps can take several steps, but it is possible. Wasp pest control starts with audits and consultations with a knowledgeable company, like Thorn. Our teams recommend utilizing wasp traps and eliminating gaps and holes that wasps can enter.

To prevent reoccurring issues, it’s also best to apply preventive treatments in the spring, and anytime you observe that nests are being built in the area.

Regular preventive treatments and traps are the best way to keep wasps away from a building. If you want to keep foraging wasps away while eating outside, you might consider placing a small plate of whatever you’re serving out in the yard away from the dining area about 15 minutes before dining.

A food distraction strategy like this will attract the wasps away from your table and to the meal that you left for them, making it less likely that they’ll buzz around you while dining outdoors.

Wasps are flying insects, and there isn’t usually a permanent solution to prevent them from nesting and occupying around your property or on your building. If wasps are entering through a hole in the wall, it can be permanently sealed, but preventative treatments are usually needed to keep paper wasps from building nests on the undersides of eaves.

Proactively monitoring and preventing issues early is better than having to reactively treat wasp infestations. The same strategy can be said for many pests native to Utah.

Hanging wasp nest decoys and natural sprays are often used to help deter wasps from building nests close to buildings. Other lures and traps are also effective ways to control wasp infestations. The team at Thorn would be happy to make recommendations for controlling wasp control around your commercial business or home in Utah.

Our wasp control services are priced from $129. Thorn also offers Utah residents and businesses ongoing preventative programs starting at $32 per month. Contact us today to get started.

  • kevin jewkes
    I've been using Thorn since last fall after several other 'flashy' pest control companies have let me down (others have lied and simply not performed the service). Thorn has been the opposite of that experience. Every person I've worked with has been kind, thorough, and at a very reasonable price. I've noticed less bug activity than with any of the others I've tried. Today David to the service, and was great to work with. I highly recommend Thorn.
