How to Prevent Hornet Nesting on Your Concord Property

Picture: summer in New Hampshire. You step outside in the morning, coffee in hand, to sunny blue skies, the musical chirping of birds, and… wait, what is that? Buzzing? Oh no—the wasps are here. Unfortunately, with warm weather come wasps and hornets, which often pose risks to your family and pets. 

That’s where Mosquito Squad of New Hampshire comes in to help. We know you don’t want to resign yourself to a summer either spent indoors or spent swatting at aggressive, stinging pests. Our wasp & hornet control allows you to leave the treatment to the professionals so you can get back to spending your summer doing whatever you’d like. 

When Do Hornets Appear in Concord, NH?

In Concord, NH, it’s common for hornets and wasps to emerge in late April to May, which is when the queens leave hibernation to build new nests. However, their activity ramps up in August and early September when the colonies have grown, and they become especially aggressive toward humans and pets in autumn. 

Frustratingly enough, these pests tend to build their nests near areas where humans and pets are, such as porch overhangs, eaves and soffits, sheds, and playsets. Depending on the exact species, though, their nests may show up in hollow trees nearby, attics, wall voids, behind shutters, in shrubs, or even on the ground, which can be tricky when you have kids and pets that like to play and run around in the yard. 

How Does Professional Hornet Control Help Proactively Protect Against Them

When it comes to hornets and wasps, DIY removal can be very risky. These pests often swarm when disturbed, and the multiple stings can trigger anaphylaxis. Plus, in late summer when colonies peak, these pests are even more aggressive than usual. That’s why professional pest control is the safer route for everyone. 

At Mosquito Squad Plus, our trained technicians are skilled at hornet and wasp control, and our treatments help reduce up to 85-90% of them in your yard. We’ll always begin with an inspection to determine what’s attracting them and where they’re congregating so we can develop a tailored treatment plan for your yard. 

We’ll then use our EPA-registered products to create a protective barrier around your yard. This not only helps target wasps and hornets at the source, but also helps prevent them from returning. Throughout the season, we’ll return every three weeks to spray again and help offer season long protection.

What You Can Do to Help Keep Hornets & Wasps Away

If you’re looking for ways to maximize our efforts and help keep hornets and wasps away, here are a few recommendations we can offer:

• Keep outdoor trash cans tightly sealed and clean them regularly. 
• Remove any standing water in birdbaths, pet dishes, gutters, and other areas. 
• Clean up any fallen fruit from fruit trees in your yard to avoid attracting wasps and hornets with the fermenting sugars.
• Regularly inspect your home for nests and seal any potential entry points. 
• Keep bushes pruned and away from your house so that pests have a harder time building nests in them. 
• If you notice nests or hear buzzing somewhere in your yard or home, contact Mosquito Squad Plus for hornet control in Concord, NH.
