Wasp and hornet removal along Parish Avenue, where storefronts dating back to Johnstown's earliest years give colonies plenty of eaves to nest under.
Call (844) 924-1337Parish Avenue has anchored Johnstown since the town's start, first recorded under the plainer name Greeley Avenue Public Road before the Parish family name replaced it, and its older storefronts and awnings give paper wasps and yellowjackets no shortage of places to build. Sitting out on the northern Front Range plains rather than up in the high country gives Johnstown's colonies a longer, easier season than Colorado's mountain towns get, where a compressed year can turn late nests noticeably more defensive.
A calmer season doesn't make a Parish Avenue nest safe to ignore, though. It's still worth having identified and removed by someone experienced rather than handled on your own. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Johnstown and check service availability.

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.
