Wasp and hornet removal for Lakewood, where a longer plains season means less compressed aggression than Colorado's mountain communities see.
Call (844) 924-1337Lakewood sits on the Front Range plains at a lower elevation than those mountain towns, so paper wasps and yellowjackets nesting under eaves and patio covers across the city's long established neighborhoods generally get a longer, gentler season to build up in by comparison, whether that eave belongs to a home from the city's earliest platted decades or a unit near Belmar.

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.
