When should you call about a wasp or hornet nest?

Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets are all common in Central Maine. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and in attics. Yellow jackets nest in the ground or in wall voids and are the most aggressive — they can sting repeatedly.

Bald-faced hornets build enclosed, football-shaped paper nests in trees, shrubs, and on eaves that can grow to the size of a basketball by late summer. A mature nest can hold 400–700 workers that aggressively defend it. They are most dangerous in late summer and early fall, when colonies peak.

Professional removal is recommended for nests near doorways, play areas, or in wall voids, especially for people with allergies. Never attempt to remove a hornet nest yourself. Every job starts with a thorough inspection, then a targeted treatment plan.

    Devin is wonderful! Prompt and professional. While it appears there is no problem, he put out some traps to monitor the situation which gave me some peace of mind. I highly recommend Campbell's Pest Control and will always use them in the future.

Common questions

Should I remove a hornet nest myself?

No. Bald-faced hornets aggressively defend the nest and can sting repeatedly. Professional removal is strongly recommended, especially for nests near doorways, play areas, or in wall voids.

When are wasps and hornets at their worst?

Late summer and early fall, when colony populations peak and hornets become more aggressive.

What does it mean if wasps are going into my siding?

Wasps entering and leaving a gap in siding or a hole in the ground usually point to a wall-void or ground nest. Yellow jackets commonly nest in both. Buzzing inside walls or ceilings is another sign.

Can you come out the same day?

Same-day service is available whenever we can. Call in the morning and we will get to your door the same day when the schedule allows.

Is there a free inspection?

Yes. Free inspections and estimates, with no contracts and no pressure. We explain the plan and the price before any work begins.
