Every summer, Post Falls homeowners find yellowjackets in the lawn, paper wasps under the eaves and hornets in the trees. By August the nests are big, and stings around patios, parks and the river get common.
Yellowjackets nest in the ground all over Post Falls, in old rodent holes, under landscaping rock and along fence lines in newer subdivisions on the prairie. Paper wasps build under eaves, soffits, deck rails and play sets. Homes near the Spokane River, Q'emiln Park and other wooded spots also see bald-faced hornets hanging big paper nests in trees and shrubs.
We track flight paths to nests in eaves, wall voids, sheds and holes in the ground.
We treat nests directly with the right gear, including yellowjacket nests underground and inside walls.
Paper wasp and hornet nests on eaves and decks come down after treatment.
We treat the spots wasps like to build and seal old holes once nests are dead.
Wasp, hornet and yellowjacket treatment is included in our general pest control plans, which start at $41 a month. Without a plan, treatment runs $125 to $199, depending on the service you choose and how bad the problem is.
See Your PriceNests start small in spring and are biggest in August and September, which is when most stings and calls happen. The first hard freeze, usually in October or November, kills off the workers, and only new queens survive the winter.

No, not while the nest is active. If you plug a hole in a wall, the yellowjackets can chew through drywall and come out inside your home. Get the nest treated first, then seal the hole once it's quiet. If someone has trouble breathing or swelling in the face or throat after a sting, call 911.
