What Ken treats
Defend Pest Control clears wasp and hornet nests across Weber County, Davis County, Salt Lake County and the surrounding area, then sweeps up after, so you can use your own yard again.
No. Bees are pollinators and this valley needs them, so Ken will not spray them. If you have a nest and are not sure what it is, he will tell you honestly, because wasps and honeybees get confused constantly. Wasps are smooth and sharply banded. Bees are fuzzy and rounder. If it turns out you have bees, he will point you toward a beekeeper who relocates them.
Yellow jackets, paper wasps and hornets, wherever they have built.
Stinging insects jump ahead of routine service. If you are avoiding your own front door, that is not something to book for next week.
Wasps are slow and concentrated in the nest in the cool of the morning. Treating then means the whole colony is there, rather than half of it out foraging and coming back later.
Wasps will sometimes move back into a nest that is left in place. Where it is safe to reach, the nest comes down and goes with him.
A treated nest drops a lot of dead wasps. Ken clears them rather than leaving a pile on your path. This is the part customers mention afterwards more than any other.
Foragers that were away during treatment come back over the next day or two. Ken checks in, and if stragglers are still around he comes back at no extra charge.
One honest exception. Nests high in a peak or roofline are sometimes beyond safe reach from a ladder. When that happens Ken says so rather than improvising, and explains your options. A nest left alone dies off over winter, and an old nest discourages new wasps from building nearby.
