Call Jake Adams at Wasp and Hornet Control
When I discovered that I had a huge hornet nest at the end of the driveway in a small tree, I started figuring out what to do and who to get to come help with getting that dang thing out of there. It was close to the sidewalk and I sure didn’t want to get stung or have anyone else get stung either. I knew it was important to have it done right as it can be a dangerous situation otherwise.
I also didn’t want some corporate company, or outfit that wanted to make you sign contracts for monthly subscription. Just wanted someone who is local who could come and get the job done effectively and efficiently.
I did due diligence in checking things out, and that is how I found Jake Adams with Wasp and Hornet Control. He came fully equipped and ready to tackle the mission.
He’s been doing this for several years now and explained how important it was to make sure and take the time to make sure all the critters are gone the first time, versus some companies that keep saying have to come out several times. He’s also chemical free. A specialist in these stinging pests, he’s also been called upon to help with removing bird nests from buildings compassionately too.
Transitioning from eastern Oregon to the Lorane Valley, Jake is building a new home, is farming and gardening and creating community. He is here to help when you need someone special for those pesky nuisances that just have to get done before they get worse.
Jake explained things, as I ask a lot of questions, and he worked diligently to make sure and get everything taken care of and that nest out of there. He says the combination of a dry spring followed by hot dry summer weather has created ideal conditions for yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets, and we’re seeing unusually high populations and increased nesting activity this season.
These stinging insects are opportunistic nesters and will build colonies almost anywhere they can find shelter. Common nesting locations include underground burrows, behind house siding, old tree stumps, wood piles, hollow pipes, trees, and other protected spaces. Besides being a nuisance, their stings can quickly turn outdoor activities into an unpleasant experience, and in some cases can be dire in certain instances.
After a hornet nest is destroyed, surviving or returning foraging hornets might typically linger in the area for 1 to 2 days, though occasional stragglers can remain active for up to a few days before dying or moving on. The homeless worker hornets cannot survive very long or rebuild a colony on their own; they generally die within a few days from exposure, starvation, or lack of a queen. Good news is hornets never rebuild an old nest in the exact same spot.
Jake also mentioned more about the weather, and could tell those hornets here were getting ready to camp out for the winter, and that’s why they were so busy. He is very knowledgeable. He takes care to get the worker hornets and trap the queen. He then takes the nest down, and takes it away with him so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. For me, it was a huge relief.
