Wasp & Hornet Removal FAQ

Can I spray the nest myself?

Small paper wasp nests, maybe. Yellowjacket and hornet nests defend aggressively, and wall nests can push wasps into the house. Call us for those.

Is this the same as the giant hornet?

No. The northern giant hornet was only found near the Canadian border and was declared eradicated in Washington. Our local wasps are yellowjackets, paper wasps and bald-faced hornets.
