At ATCO Pest Control, we have a deep appreciation for the important role pollinators, especially honey bees, play in our ecosystem. However, we understand the significant threat that yellowjackets can pose to your home and family. These aggressive insects are notorious for their propensity to attack, especially when sweet drinks or protein-rich foods are nearby. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, grounded in eco-friendly methods, ensures that we address yellowjacket issues effectively while maintaining a balanced and healthy environment.

Understanding the Yellowjacket Threat

Yellowjackets are a type of wasp known for their aggressive behavior, particularly when they feel their nest is threatened or when food sources are present. Unlike honey bees, which are essential for pollination and generally non-aggressive, yellowjackets can become a serious nuisance and a danger to people. Their stings are painful and can be harmful, especially to individuals who are allergic.

Our Ecowise Approach

At ATCO Pest Control, our commitment to eco-friendly pest management means we prioritize methods that are effective yet considerate of the environment. Our “Ecowise” pest control methods are designed to minimize harm to beneficial insects like honey bees while targeting the specific threat posed by yellowjackets.

Yellowjacket Trapping Services

Our yellowjacket trapping services are a crucial part of our IPM strategy. Here’s how we handle yellowjacket infestations:

1. Inspection: We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the presence of yellowjackets and locate their nests. This step is crucial for developing a targeted action plan.
2. Eco-Friendly Trapping: We use specialized traps that attract yellowjackets without harming other insects. These traps are strategically placed to maximize their effectiveness in capturing yellowjackets, especially in areas where they are most active.
3. Monitoring and Maintenance: Our team regularly monitors the traps and replaces them as needed to ensure continued effectiveness. We also provide guidance on preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of future infestations.
4. Education and Support: We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. Our experts will educate you on how to make your property less attractive to yellowjackets, such as securing garbage bins, covering food and drinks when outdoors, and maintaining cleanliness in outdoor areas.
