Although wasps live in their papery nests the majority of the time, they are always on the hunt for bigger and better things. Just like any other pest, wasps have three necessities: food, water, and shelter. All of these can be found in and around our homes, which means that these pests will do whatever it takes to get inside. Since wasps love anything with protein or sugar, a trash can full of food scraps is their ideal food source. Plus, the flowers and moisture that surround most houses are captivating for any insect in the stinging pest family. It may seem strange to think of wasps willingly entering a house since they are so different from other pests that are known for invading homes, like ants and rodents. But if they are drawn to a house for any of the previous reasons, wasps will become completely determined to get inside by whatever means necessary. The most common ways that wasps get inside Collinsville homes include:
Gaps around doors and windows
Holes in window and sliding door screens
Openings near vents and gutters
The air conditioner unit and vents within the house
Opened chimney flues
Bathroom exhaust fans
The worst trait of wasps is not their incessant buzzing or the ghastly nests they construct. Rather, it is their aggressive attitude that is the leading cause behind the painful stings they deliver. They release an “attack” pheromone when someone disturbs their nest, telling the rest of their colony to target the intruder and drive them away. If their nest is attached to your house or anything in the yard, it can make going outside an extremely risky experience. Pointe Pest Control values the safety of you and your family, and we want you to feel safe in your own space.

We are SO happy with the work Mike did at our house. He was so informative, very professional and personable! This was our first experience with Pointe Pest Control, and we now know why they came so highly recommended to us by friends and family.
The tech was very helpful and professional. He let me know what to expect with the treatment (more ants for a little while but they should go away). He was also very knowledgeable. I’ve been using this company for a year and I have to say, I think they are the best!
Our technician is an enthusiast, friendly and very educated young man. He listened to all my questions and concerns. He then explained everything he was going to do to alleviate my problems. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a technician for insects, etc.
