Wasp Control in Portland, OR
Picking Up Where Summer Left Off
Wasps are a common problem around Portland, OR. They're especially active during the summer months when their colonies are at their largest. But even as the weather starts to cool, wasps are still active. While wasps are not aggressive by nature, they will sting if threatened. And if the wasps' nest is disturbed, they will swarm and attack.

How to Identify Wasps
Wasps are often confused with bees due to their similar appearance, but they are typically slimmer and have a smooth, shiny body. They come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, and yellow, and can range in size from less than half an inch to more than an inch in length.
Wasps have a distinct, narrow waist that separates their thorax from their abdomen and two pairs of wings. Unlike bees, they don't have a lot of hair on their bodies.
Wasps also have a more aggressive behavior than bees and can sting multiple times. If you're unsure whether you're dealing with wasps or bees, it's best to contact a professional pest control company for identification and treatment options.
