Wasp Identification & Prevention
What are wasps?
The abdomens of wasps appear smooth and bullet-shaped. They have dark colored wings, usually ranging from dark amber to black that fold lengthwise, making the wings appear smaller than they really are. Their nests are made of paper-like material, which is a mixture of wood and salivary secretions of the female wasps.
Are wasps dangerous?
They build their nests around human establishments, and many people are allergic to wasp stings. Due to their defensive nature, nesting wasps are easily provoked to sting when their nest is disturbed. It’s vital to seek insect pest control for the safety of you and your family or employees.

We had been struggling with a bed bug issue that we inherited from the last slumlord apartment that we lived in. High Country came in, did a very thorough inspection, and applied really good product.

Service is always when they say it'll be, they didn't try to upsell to me when I first called over a year ago. Very reasonable when it comes to cost as well. If I could do it again with them for the first call I would.
