Every summer, Spokane homeowners find yellowjackets in the lawn, paper wasps under the eaves and hornets in the trees. By August, nests are big and the stinging gets serious.
Yellowjackets nest underground in old rodent holes and under landscaping rock all over Spokane, and they also move into wall voids in older homes on the South Hill and in Browne's Addition. Paper wasps build under eaves, deck rails and play sets. Bald-faced hornets hang large paper nests in trees, which you'll see a lot in tree-lined neighborhoods like Manito and Lincoln Heights.
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 PriceBy August, a yellowjacket nest can hold thousands of workers, and their natural food is running low. They start scavenging around patios, trash cans and picnics, and they defend a big nest hard. That's why late summer and early fall bring the most stings.

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.
