Wasp and hornet removal for Englewood, downstream from the shorter, harsher mountain season that pushes some colonies into more aggressive late summer behavior.
Call (844) 924-1337Englewood's fight over its only park ran from a rejected 1962 council vote through a homeowner protest petition to a legal battle that finally settled in 1965, when developer Gerri Von Frellick got approval to build Cinderella City. The scattered network of pocket parks that came out of that settlement now borders backyards, porches, and patios across a good share of Englewood's residential blocks. Those tree lined edges give paper wasps and yellowjackets plenty of sheltered eaves and patio covers to build under every summer, spread through the city rather than clustered near any single stretch of green space.
A nest tucked under a porch eave or deck rail near one of these older pocket parks is not automatically more dangerous than one anywhere else in Englewood, but it is easy to walk past without noticing until foot traffic gets close enough to set off a defensive response. Anyone seeing repeat activity around an eave, shed, or patio cover this time of year should get it identified and removed by someone experienced rather than handling it directly.

It depends on the species and where the nest is located, but generally involves treating the nest directly with the right product and protective equipment, then removing it once activity has stopped. Because stinging insects can react defensively, this is usually safer left to a professional, especially for larger or hard-to-reach nests.
Most wasp colonies die off over winter, and an old nest is typically abandoned by the workers that built it. An empty-looking nest may still require assessment; if activity is uncertain, keep your distance and ask about inspection before disturbing it.
Paper wasp nests are often smaller and more exposed, commonly found under eaves or overhangs, but they can still sting if disturbed. Treating the nest directly and removing it once activity stops is the general approach, ideally handled by someone with proper protective equipment.
Locating the nest is the first step, since treating individual wasps without addressing the nest usually just means more show up. Species identification and nest location help determine the appropriate removal approach; avoid disturbing an active nest.
