Why paper wasp matters in Stone Oak #

Before we get into treatment, here's a minute on why Stone Oak has the paper wasp pressure it does. It matters because it changes the timing of what we do.

How we treat paper wasp in Stone Oak #

A few things we won't do: we won't spray from 20 feet and call it done, we won't sell you a six-month contract for a problem that's going to resolve in three weeks anyway, and we won't recommend treatment if what you've got is harmless. That last one happens more often than you'd think with paper wasp calls in Stone Oak.

New queens spend the winter in sheltered spots around your home. That's why sealing attic vents, siding gaps, and eave cavities in the fall and winter is a smart move. It can really help lower the number of colonies you’ll deal with next spring.
