Wasp Control in Boise, ID

Why Are There So Many Wasps in Boise?

Boise’s dry summers and long warm seasons make it prime wasp country. Wasps are drawn to sheltered areas where they can build their nests, especially under eaves, playsets, decking, fence posts, and outdoor furniture.

The most common wasps we see in the Treasure Valley are:

• Paper Wasps – Thin-bodied and reddish-brown, often found under eaves and overhangs
  
• Yellowjackets – Aggressive, ground-nesting wasps that are common near trash or sugary drinks
  
• Mud Daubers – Solitary wasps that build mud nests, typically harmless but unsightly
  

Many customers don’t realize they have a wasp issue until someone gets stung—or until nests become visible in late summer when colonies are at their peak.

Signs of a Wasp Problem

Watch for these common warning signs:

• Increased wasp activity around your home or yard
  
• Visible nests in the eaves, trees, fences, or behind shutters
  
• Buzzing near vents, soffits, or siding gaps
  
• Dirt or mud nests on walls, especially from mud daubers
  
• Aggressive behavior when you approach certain areas outside
  

Early action is important—treating wasps before nests mature reduces risk and damage.
