Twelve Oaks Pest Control

Wasps Under Eaves and Patio Covers

Paper wasps build open, umbrella shaped nests under eaves, patio covers, play structures, and light fixtures. They become protective as the nest grows, which makes them a real concern for kids and pets playing nearby.

Wasps are most active in late spring through summer. Catching nests early, while they are still small, keeps them from becoming a bigger problem later in the season.

Wasps also need water, and they often show up around pools, fountains, and dripping hose bibs on hot afternoons. Keeping those areas tidy makes your patio less appealing to them.

Spiders in Shady Spots

Shaded corners of patios, the underside of outdoor furniture, and the spaces behind planters are prime spider territory. Insects drawn to porch lights give them plenty to eat.

During each visit, we knock down webs, remove egg sacs, and treat eaves, light fixtures, and the foundation. Clearing their food source helps keep them from settling back in.

Bees can be a concern in trees and walls as well, especially in spring. If you see a swarm settling in, keep your distance and call us.

Mature trees can also drop debris and leaves that collect against walls. Keeping those areas swept removes hiding spots for spiders and the insects they eat.
