You may have noticed the buzzing, the wings flapping, the brownish-yellow color. It's not a bee or a yellowjacket, though it appears somewhat similar. It is actually a paper wasp, and they seem to be attracted like a magnet to your home. But, why? And how can you prevent them from infesting your property?
At Pro Active Pest Control, we have the experience and know-how to put an end to paper wasps and other pests in the Gilbert area. Our professionals can create a treatment plan catered to your precise pest control needs.
What Attracts Paper Wasps?
Paper wasps are attracted to things that they think they are pollinating. For example, sweet smells, bright colors, and flower-like objects will attract these dangerous pests. Things such as powerful perfumes, colorful clothing, and sweet fruits will make the paper wasp flock to your property, whether the items are inside or out.
Can I Remove A Wasp Nest On My Own?
If you suspect that you have paper wasps in or around your Gilbert home, we highly recommend that you reach our pest control experts as soon as possible.

Can I Prevent Wasps?
You may have seen many methods for preventing wasps from entering your home, or from seeking a habitat in your yard or surrounding property. The best wasp control methods are those that make your property unappealing to wasps in the first place. Some prevention tips include:
- Check your yard for any holes in the ground and fill them with dirt.
- Inspect trees and brush for any existing nests. If you find any, we do not recommend approaching the nest yourself, but you should reach out to our professionals for assistance.
- Keep all doors and windows to the home closed or tightly screened.
- Frequently remove trash from the home and the property. When on your property, be sure that trash is kept in lidded trash cans with tightly fitted lids.
- Remove food sources from the yard, patio, or deck. Be sure any fruit trees or brush is kept away from the home and that dead or dropped, rotting fruit is frequently removed.
