Professional Wasp and Hornet Removal in Wichita
Wasps and hornets build nests in many hidden locations around a property, including:
- Roof eaves
- Attics
- Garages
- Storage sheds
- Decks
- Play equipment
- Trees and shrubs
- Underground nests
- Wall voids
- Barns and workshops
Whether you’re dealing with a single nest or multiple colonies, our technicians can safely eliminate the infestation while reducing the chance of it returning.
Why You Should Never Remove a Nest Yourself
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is spraying or knocking down a nest during the day.
When disturbed, many species aggressively defend their colony and can sting multiple times. Some nests contain hundreds of wasps or hornets, making do-it-yourself removal dangerous.
Professional treatment is safer because we:
- Identify the species
- Locate hidden nests
- Use professional products and equipment
- Treat nests when activity is lowest
- Reduce the risk of future nesting
Common Wasps and Hornets Found in Wichita
Bald-Faced Hornets
Despite their name, bald-faced hornets are actually a type of wasp. They build large gray paper nests that resemble footballs and are commonly found in trees, shrubs, and occasionally attached to buildings.
These insects aggressively defend their nests and should only be removed by trained professionals.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are one of the most aggressive stinging insects in Kansas.
They commonly build nests:
- Underground
- Along foundations
- Under landscaping
- Around retaining walls
- Beneath shrubs
Many homeowners accidentally disturb underground nests while mowing, trimming bushes, or working in flower beds.
Paper Wasps (Polistes)
Paper wasps are commonly found beneath roof overhangs, porch ceilings, decks, garages, and attic vents.
Their open honeycomb-style nests are easy to recognize. Although generally less aggressive than yellow jackets, they will sting when defending their nest.
Mud Daubers
Mud daubers are solitary wasps that build small mud tube nests on garages, sheds, barns, and under eaves.
Unlike yellow jackets and hornets, mud daubers are rarely aggressive toward people. They actually help reduce spider populations by capturing spiders to feed their young.
Even though they are beneficial insects, many homeowners choose to remove their nests for appearance or to prevent future nesting.
How to Prepare for Your Wasp Treatment
To ensure the safest and most effective treatment:
- Do not disturb or spray the nest before service.
- Keep children and pets away from the area.
- Avoid mowing or trimming near underground nests.
- Do not seal entry holes until after treatment is complete.
- Remove fallen fruit and food sources that attract wasps.
- Our technicians typically perform treatment near dusk when colony activity is lowest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have wasps or hornets?
Frequent insect activity around your roofline, eaves, trees, shrubs, or underground holes often indicates an active nest.
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?
No. Many wasps and hornets aggressively defend their nests and can sting repeatedly. Professional removal is much safer.
When is the best time to remove a nest?
Most treatments are performed near dusk because nearly the entire colony has returned to the nest and insect activity is lower.
Will wasps return to the same nest next year?
No. Most wasps abandon their nests each fall. However, new queens often build new nests in the same general location the following spring if conditions remain favorable.
Do you remove underground yellow jacket nests?
Yes. Brown Reclusinator safely treats underground yellow jacket colonies as well as aerial nests found on homes, garages, trees, sheds, and commercial buildings.
