Fast, Professional Stinging Insect Removal

Yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets are aggressive, territorial, and dangerous, especially around homes, decks, playgrounds, and entry doors.

Our professional stinging insect service safely eliminates active nests and reduces the risk of re-infestation.

We do not recommend DIY removal. Disturbing a nest can trigger an aggressive swarm.

Common Stinging Insects We Treat

Yellowjackets

  • Often nest underground or inside wall voids

  • Highly aggressive when disturbed

  • Most active late summer and fall

Paper Wasps

  • Build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs

  • Less aggressive but will defend nest

Hornets

  • Large aerial nests in trees, shrubs, or structures

  • Bald-faced and European hornets are very common in our area.

  • Can be extremely defensive

Signs You Have an Active Nest

  • Heavy wasp traffic in one area

  • Insects entering a hole in siding or ground

  • Visible hanging nest

  • Buzzing inside walls

  • Increased activity near trash areas

If activity is consistent, there is likely a nest nearby.

Our Removal Process

1. Identification

We confirm the species and locate the nest.

2. Safe Treatment Application

Depending on location, treatment may include:

  • Direct nest treatment

  • Void injection for wall nests

  • Ground nest treatment

  • Aerial nest treatment

3. Nest Neutralization

Most nests are eliminated quickly after proper treatment.

4. Prevention Guidance

We provide recommendations to reduce attractants and future nesting sites.

Honest, Upfront Pricing

Final pricing depends on:

  • Nest location (ground, wall, aerial)

  • Accessibility

  • Height or ladder requirements

  • Number of nests

We provide clear pricing before service begins.

What to Expect After Treatment

  • Activity may continue briefly as returning workers contact treatment

  • Visible nest activity usually drops significantly within 24 hours

  • Some aerial nests may remain in place after being neutralized

We will advise whether physical removal is necessary.

  • Do not spray it with over-the-counter products
