Wasp & Hornet Control FAQs

Get answers about wasp removal, identification, and prevention

QUESTION:How do you safely remove wasp nests?

ANSWER:Our certified technicians use protective equipment and professional-grade products to safely eliminate wasp nests. We treat nests in the evening when wasps are less active, apply insecticide directly to the nest entrance, and remove the nest once all wasps are eliminated. Never attempt DIY removal of large nests or nests in difficult locations. Wasps can become aggressive when threatened and sting multiple times. Call (509) 471-5767 for safe removal across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. Our wasp control service includes a guarantee against nest rebuilding.

QUESTION:What is the difference between wasps and hornets?

ANSWER:Hornets are actually a type of wasp, but they're larger (up to 2 inches), build enclosed paper nests (often in trees), and are generally more aggressive. Yellow jackets are smaller wasps that nest in ground cavities or wall voids. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves. All can sting multiple times and may swarm if their nest is disturbed. In Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona, we encounter various species requiring different treatment approaches. Our stinging insect specialists identify the species and use appropriate methods. Schedule an inspection for proper identification.

QUESTION:When should I call for wasp removal?

ANSWER:Call immediately if you see wasps entering your home, notice a nest near entryways or high-traffic areas, or if anyone in your household is allergic to stings. Early spring is ideal for preventative treatments before nests grow large. Summer nests can contain thousands of wasps. Don't wait until someone gets stung. We offer same-day emergency service for dangerous nest locations across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. Our seasonal wasp prevention program treats potential nesting sites before colonies establish. Read our wasp prevention tips.
