Debbie Lee2024-08-26I had some ants and I texted Dane's. He immediately responded the next business day. I showed Issac where I had spotted the ants. He told me what he was going to do and why type of ants he thought they were (nomad ants..traveling through). He also treated around my hummingbird feeds which was really nice. Ants and bugs love the sweet nectar. Glad I made the switch.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Clarissa2024-08-18Dane came out to my place after his normal business hours and I have to say, he was great. He was very honest and didn’t try to sell me on services that I didn’t need. He was real with me about what was going on and gave me solid advice on how to handle it. It’s refreshing to find someone who’s not just in it for the money but actually cares about doing a good job. If you need pest control, definitely reach out to Dane. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kaylee McAllister2024-08-15We started using Dane’s pest control the beginning of this year and so far we are very pleased! When shopping around, we found that he was one of the more reasonably priced companies. I love that it’s not a one lump sum, like others. Ben was very quick to reply back to my request for a quote and was very responsive when we were talking about our needs when it came to pest control. He’s texted me every time to let me know when hes coming bc I can never remember. We haven’t had to call him for any visits in between yet, but I have a feeling he would come in a very timely manner to spray inside as we only get it outside right now or just to spray again. We’ve used big name companies before and honestly just wasn’t too impressed so I love that we are supporting a locally owned company! I’d def recommend them and have to many of my friends! Check him out! At least get a quote and have a conversation especially if you’re shopping around!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Maggie Burman2024-08-15I have been a customer since ending my xontract with a larger company. I have no regrets. Ben is knowledgeable, professional, keeps in communication with me, and is timely. Nothing but positive experiences!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Dayton Hasty2024-08-15We are so glad we found Dane's Pest Control! Ben is always very responsive and gets the job done efficiently. Since the treatments, we haven't had any sort of pest issue. Cannot recommend them enough!

Wasps & Hornets Species In Huntsville AL
Types of Wasps and Hornets in Huntsville
Yellow Jacket:
Yellow Jackets are the most common species of vespid in Huntsville Alabama, they are easily recognizable by their vibrant yellow and black coloring. These slender insects are extremely aggressive and frequently attack humans and pets. These wasps thrive from late summer to early fall, they are drawn to many different types of foods but seem to favor sugar. Yellow Jacket nests can be found in various locations, ranging from the eaves or attics of homes to burrowed holes in yards. Yellow jacket stings can be extremely painful and can lead to allergic reactions in many people.
Bald-Faced Hornet:
Bald-faced hornets are very similar in appearance to yellow jackets except instead of yellow and black they are white and black and about half an inch long. Bald Faced Hornets are predators of many different insects including wasps, bees, flies, and many others. These hornets can become highly agitated when near their nests, delivering repeated stings. Their nests are easily identified by their grayish paper material. Built above ground, these nests are commonly found in trees, shrubs, under eaves, or on the sides of buildings. Swift extermination is crucial as Bald-Faced Hornets can establish large and aggressive colonies.
Black and Yellow Mud Dauber:
Mud Daubers have a solid black body with yellow stripes and legs. Mud Daubers typically do not sting humans or pets unless forced. They make nests made of mud that are commonly found on the side of brick homes and other areas protected from rainfall. Mud Daubers are common predators of spiders and other insects in which they feed to their young.
Paper Wasp:
One of the most common species in Huntsville the paper wasp is identified by their honeycomb nests that are often found under porches, eves, and almost anywhere that is protected from the weather. Paper Wasps have a painful sting but are less aggressive than other wasp species. Beneficial in controlling certain plant-destroying caterpillars, they play a helpful ecological role.
Red Wasp:
The Red Wasp is about an inch-long, with a bright red body, dark wings, and a potent sting. Found abundantly in Alabama, especially during the summertime, they are more aggressive than other paper wasp species. Their nests, constructed from plant and wood fibers, form a papery, honeycomb-like structure and can be found in trees, under hangs, and bridges.
Preventing Wasps and Hornets
Certain species are drawn to sweet substances like sugary foods and soda. If dining outdoors, ensure thorough cleanup afterward, diligently wiping away any spills. When feeding pets outside, refrain from leaving extra food out. Also make sure trash cans are stored inside the garage or are sealed tight.
Shift woodpiles away from the structure and promptly address decaying leaves, as both may attract wasps and hornets who are looking for food. If you have a flower garden, it’s advisable to plant it at a distance from your home, as flowers serve as a natural food source for insects that attract wasps and hornets.
Examine your home for any gaps in the siding, as these could be attractive to wasps. Seal up any holes, as even small openings can allow wasps and hornets to enter. Weatherstrip cracks and crevices, including those around windows and exterior doors, to further fortify your defenses against these stinging insects.
