SIGNS TO MENTION.
- A visible nest near the home
- Repeated activity at one opening
- Stinging insects around outdoor spaces
If insects are using the same hole near a door, give that opening room. The activity matters, and the nest may be hidden behind the surface you can see.
Report the location by phone without disturbing it. Confirm that the insect and nest position are within the provider’s scope. Ask about access and precautions, and leave an active opening unblocked until you receive appropriate guidance.
BEFORE YOU PICK UP THE PHONE.
Keep it simple: the signs, the location, and when it started. Explain any products used already, and ask what preparation is needed before a visit.
WHAT TO ASK ABOUT NEXT.
Get the follow-up details before work begins. Ask which property conditions to address, what to watch for afterward, and when to call if activity continues. Follow product and professional instructions.
