Wasp Pest Control

Wasps are aggressive with a predatory nature and can sting multiple targets. These insects are long and thin, have dangling legs, four wings, and are mostly brightly colored. Although some wasps in Utah are wingless, they all prey on pest insects and prefer digging in the ground or staying in shrubs or up tall trees. The solitary wasp species never stay in nests while the social species nest indoors or outdoors. They lay their eggs in bodies of other parasite hosts. Wasps measure between 12 and 17 mm in length.

Wasps are a hazard due to their painful stings. Although these stings are not known to be fatal, they sometimes require medical attention. Homes with seniors or children should be extremely vigilant against wasp infestations since their stings may cause an allergic reaction to their skins. Our wasp pest control specialists in Utah at Legacy Pest Control are at your service and ready to help you exterminate all wasp nests from your property.

Hornet Pest Control

These pests are more aggressive than wasps with a predatory nature. They have the abilities to sting multiple targets, and their stings can be fatal to humans. Hornets in Utah resemble wasps, but they are black and white with some bright color. Also, they have thicker and more rounded bodies when compared to wasps. They have fat heads and stay in large nests. They feed on sweet plant matter while their larvae are fed with insects or actively consume their hosts. The Hornets in Utah nest outside in trees, shrubs, or sometimes under decks and eves. They lay their eggs in high nests built specially for them. Hornets measure 1.8 to 5.5 cm long. Hornets are dangerous due to their multiple stinging capabilities that can be fatal to humans. All homeowners should always take necessary precautions to ensure that these insects do not invade their properties. Our hornet pest control professionals at Legacy Pest Control in Utah will get rid of all hornets that have infested your property using pet and kid-friendly techniques.

Yellow Jacket Pest Control

These insects resemble bees in their black and yellow appearance although some of the species are black and white. The yellow jackets in Utah are predatory wasps, and they use distinct side-to-side flight patterns before landing. Only the females have stings. They feed on sweet plant matter. Yellow jackets can sting multiple times, but their venom can only be fatal to individuals who are allergic to the substance and the effects are felt after multiple stings. They construct their nests in shrubs, mouse burrows, tree stumps, and human-made structures like your home or office. Yellow Jacket measure about 12 to 19 mm long. They are not fatal to humans except those who are allergic to their venom. However, you should take precautions to ensure that they do not invade your home.

I discovered bugs in my wall, called 24 hour hotline and the guy was like can you text me some pictures. Then immediately knew it was TERMITES, no way this is Utah, he was right. Called other places but Jason told me what to expect, asked the sqft of my house and said here is set price. Called another company that undercut them but I knew Legacy was right choice. They came out and decided they needed to do all four walls in garage and around entire house, set price didn’t change. Two guys 5 hours. Others were one guy in 5 hours, no way. Go with Legacy.

Legacy showed up, quickly assessed what I needed, adjusted their original quote when we discussed that my needs were less than what was originally expected, and they quickly completed my appointment. Jason was friendly and expedient. Thank you, Legacy, for your wonderful service! I look forward to booking again in the spring!
