Not All Nests Are Equal.

Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets all look like "wasps" — and they all need different treatment. Knocking down a nest without dealing with the rest of the colony often makes things worse.

We handle each type the right way. Especially yellow jackets, which can have ground nests and thousands of insects.

Paper WaspsUmbrella-shaped nests under eaves and trim.
Yellow JacketsGround nests, wall voids, very aggressive late summer.
Bald-Faced HornetsFootball-sized gray nests hanging in trees / eaves.
Mud DaubersSingle-cell mud tubes — usually solitary, less aggressive.

FAQ

Wasp & Yellow Jacket Questions

How fast can you remove a wasp nest?
Same-day and next-day service is common for active nests, especially yellow jackets near a doorway or play area. Call (765) 418-5000 — we'll prioritize urgent stinging insect calls.
Can I just spray the nest myself?
For a small paper wasp nest, sometimes. For yellow jackets, hornets, or hidden nests — please don't. These insects defend the nest aggressively and store-bought sprays often agitate without resolving. Stings are no joke.
Will the nest come back next year?
Wasps prefer the same hospitable spots year after year — eaves, soffits, sheds. We can apply preventive treatment to common nesting areas to reduce return.
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
Treatment is applied in targeted areas. Your technician will explain re-entry timing and how to keep the area clear during treatment.
