Hornet and Yellow Jacket Control

Hornets and Yellow Jacktes fall into our Stinging Insect Package and can be treated at any time of the year. However, a lot of stinging insect problems can be prevented by our spring and fall tretments.

While each case is different, as stinging insects can make nests in many locations, our Stinging Insect Package covers the treatment and taking down of all nests and pricing is based on the number of nests. This package includes a two-month guarantee. If you have multiple nests around the outside of your home we can charge you a square footage rate, or you might be interested in Paffy’s 3-Season Home Service Plan. We try to work out a plan for each of our clients.

How does Paffy’s treat for hornets, yellow jackets and other stinging insects?

When a technician comes out to your property and assesses the situation, he will be able to determine more of what to do, what product to use, in your situation. Ultimately, the technician will use a powder spray to spray the nest. If the nest is small, it will only take a few minutes to take effect. Then, he can knock it down and dispose of the nest.

FAQs

Does size matter?

If the nest is larger, like a Bald-Faced Hornets’ nest, the technician will spray the nest and return within five to seven days to take down the nest. Bald-Faced Hornets nests can house anywhere from 100 to 400 hornets, growing to be the size of a football. Unfortunately, these hornets are extremely aggressive if they or their nest is disturbed; they are able to sting repeatedly. Please contact Paffy’s Pest Control if you have any stinging insect pest control needs.

The hornet or yellow jacket removal process is really that easy?

Usually, yes. There are cases where bees or wasps can get in between the siding and make a home in the wall of your home, at times digging their way toward the inside of your living space. Cases like these are more common than you may think and distressing to say the least. Paffy’s treats these cases seriously, assessing the situation and spraying the entrance where the bees or wasps are entering. Once each hole has been sprayed, it takes time for the stinging insects to try to escape the insecticide, and when they pass through the opening they will be affected by the spray and perish. Of course, if the nest is between the wall of your home there is no way for us to remove the nest, we just vacate it. However, rest assured that a contaminated nest will not be inhabited again by other insects.

We are usually able to arrange for a qualified technician to come out and treat for pests within a convenient timeframe of 24 to 48 hours, depending on your availability and schedule. At our company, we make every effort to accommodate your needs and preferences, ensuring we find a time that works best for you. We are truly thankful for our dedicated and gracious technicians, who genuinely care about providing excellent service to our customers dealing with stinging insect problems. Their commitment makes all the difference. There are several different species of hornets and yellow jackets that homeowners might encounter, and it’s important to note that these species can vary significantly in their levels of aggression and behavior. Understanding these differences can help in addressing your specific pest control needs effectively.

We were having some siding repaired when a contractor found a large yellow jacket nest next to the house. With no extra time in the schedule I panicked but Paffy’s saved the day! They were able to squeeze us in same day, and get our contractor back to work. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll be using them again no question.
