Flying Insects

 Paper wasps are slender, reddish-brown or black wasps with long legs and narrow waists. They build open, umbrella-shaped nests—often under eaves, porch ceilings, or deck railings. While not usually aggressive, paper wasps will sting if they feel threatened, making them a concern near homes and outdoor spaces. Common in the DFW area, they can become a serious nuisance in warmer months. At Wood Crest Pest Control, we safely remove paper wasp nests and offer treatments to prevent them from coming back. 

 Yellowjackets are aggressive, fast-flying wasps known for their black and yellow stripes and painful stings. They often build hidden nests underground, in wall voids, or around eaves, making them easy to disturb accidentally. Common in the DFW area, yellowjackets become especially active in late summer and early fall. Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times and are highly protective of their nests. At Wood Crest Pest Control, we safely locate and remove yellowjacket nests to protect your family and pets from surprise encounters. 

 Flies are more than just a nuisance—they can spread bacteria and contaminate food. Common in the DFW area, house flies and drain flies are often found around trash, sinks, and pet areas. Their rapid breeding makes them hard to control once they get inside. At WoodCrest Pest Control, we identify the source of the problem and use targeted treatments to eliminate flies and keep your home clean and comfortable. 

 Gnats are tiny flying insects that often swarm around sinks, drains, plants, and trash. Though small, they can be a big annoyance—especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Common in the DFW area, gnats thrive in moist environments and can multiply quickly. At Wood Crest Pest Control, we find and treat the source of gnat infestations to stop them at the root and keep your home comfortable and pest-free.
