Wasp nest removal and hornet control, done at dusk.

Stinging-insect calls are priority work for us, and we guarantee someone out to treat within 48 hours. If someone in the home is allergic, tell us when you call and we will move you to the front of that window.

A single accessible paper-wasp nest is a quick, low-cost visit. A yellow jacket colony inside a wall or a large hornet nest up high takes more time and gear, so it costs a bit more. We give you the price up front, and if you are already on a recurring program, knocking down a nest between visits is often included.

A small, exposed paper-wasp nest you can usually handle with a can of spray after dark. A ground nest, or a hornet nest with thousands of workers, is how people end up stung repeatedly or in the emergency room. Those are worth a call. A colony inside a wall is its own job and we cover it separately on our yellow jacket nest in wall page.

At dusk or dawn, when the whole colony is inside and slow, and from the entry point rather than the outside of the nest. Hitting the papery shell with a spray in daylight just sends the foragers out at you and leaves the queen. We treat into the entrance, take the nest down once the colony is dead, then treat the void or gap itself so next spring's queen does not settle into the same spot.

Yes, and by then it is usually pointless. A wasp nest is annual: the colony dies off with the first hard frosts and only new queens survive, overwintering somewhere else entirely. An old nest left up will not be reused. The one reason to take it down is that the void it was built in is proven attractive, so treating that spot in winter is genuinely worth doing before spring.

A single paper wasp nest under an eave, within easy reach, in daylight, is a job a careful homeowner can do. Anything underground, above the first storey, inside a structure, or bigger than a fist is worth a wasp exterminator. Yellow jacket removal in particular goes wrong fast: a disturbed colony sends hundreds of workers out at once and they can sting repeatedly.

Yes. Ground-nesting yellow jackets are one of the most common calls we get in late summer. We find the entry hole, treat the nest directly at dusk or dawn when they are inside, and make sure the whole colony is gone rather than just the ones at the opening.

Paper wasps build under eaves, soffits, and deck rails. Yellow jackets often nest in the ground, in wall voids, or behind siding. Bald-faced hornets build the large gray football-shaped nests in trees and on structures. We treat all three.

No. Honey bees are valuable pollinators, so we do not treat them. If you have a honey bee swarm or hive, we will point you to a local beekeeper who can relocate it. We do treat yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets.

Yes. We treat the nest and inside the entry point directly with products rated for occupied homes, and we will let you know how long to keep kids and pets clear of the treated area, usually just a short window.
