Service Introduction

Most wasp and hornet calls start with a defined location: a visible nest or repeated flight activity concentrated around one exterior area.

The service is built around treating the active nest or active entry point within the height and access conditions the service covers. Visible nests may be removed when access and conditions allow. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate.

Signs of Wasp & Hornet Activity

Visible nest attached to exterior structure

A visible paper-like nest attached to the exterior is a clear sign of wasp or hornet activity.

Repeated flight activity at one exterior location

Repeated wasp or hornet traffic returning to the same exterior spot can indicate an active concealed nesting area.

Aggressive behavior near a specific area

Wasps or hornets repeatedly defending one exterior area can indicate nearby nesting activity.

Activity entering and leaving one exterior spot

Repeated wasp or hornet traffic entering and leaving the same exterior spot can indicate concealed nesting activity.

Steady activity around one exterior area

When the nest is not visible, repeated activity concentrated at one exterior location gives the service a clear area to evaluate.

Heavy activity around one exterior area

Heavy or repeated wasp or hornet activity may remain concentrated around the same exterior area.

How the Service Works

Confirm the Active Nest or Entry Point
The technician confirms the active nest or active entry point, verifies that it is reachable within the 25-foot service limit, and determines whether the service can be performed safely from accessible exterior areas.
Treat the Nest or Active Entry Point
The active nest or entry point is treated directly. Visible nest removal is performed only when the nest is accessible and conditions allow it.
Review Additional Visit Scope
There is no warranty or routine follow-up visit included with this service. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate. New nests, new locations, inaccessible areas, or expanded activity are reviewed as separate service situations.

What to Know Before Service

What to Expect

Service is focused on the reported nest or active entry point. The technician confirms the location, verifies that it is within the 25-foot service limit and accessible exterior conditions, treats the active area, and removes a visible nest only when access and conditions allow.

When the nest is concealed, the service can differ from a visible exposed nest. The technician determines what can be accessed and treated from the active exterior area.

There is no warranty or routine follow-up visit included. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate. New nests, new locations, inaccessible areas, or expanded activity are reviewed as separate service situations.

Follow-Up Structure

There is no warranty or routine follow-up visit included with this service. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate.

New nests, new locations, inaccessible areas, or expanded activity are reviewed as separate service situations.

Safety Notes

Wasp and hornet service is performed around active stinging insects. Residents, pets, and bystanders should stay clear of the treatment area during service and until the technician confirms the area can be used again.

The technician may also give location-specific precautions based on where the nest or active entry point is located.

Service Limitations

Service covers visible wasp and hornet nests or active entry points up to 25 feet. Nests or entry points above 25 feet are outside the service scope.

Concealed or inaccessible nesting areas may require a different approach from a visible exposed nest. Access and what can be physically reached may vary.

Structural repair or construction work is not included.

This service covers wasps and hornets. Bee activity is not included in this service.

Multiple nests at the same property are reviewed as separate service situations. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate, but the original service does not create a warranty for new nests, new locations, inaccessible areas, or expanded activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the height limit for wasp or hornet service?

Service covers visible wasp and hornet nests or active entry points up to 25 feet. Nests or entry points above 25 feet are outside the service scope.

The nest is inside the wall — does that change anything?

When the nest is concealed, the service can differ from a visible exposed nest. The technician determines what can be accessed and treated from the active exterior area.

Do you remove the nest after treatment?

Visible nest removal is performed when the nest is accessible and conditions allow it. If the nest is concealed behind a soffit, siding gap, flashing edge, or wall opening, removal may not be possible through this service.

If wasp or hornet activity returns later, is that covered?

There is no warranty or routine follow-up visit included. Additional wasp or hornet visits later in the same season are available at a discounted visit rate. New nests, new locations, inaccessible areas, or expanded activity are reviewed as separate service situations.

Do you handle bees?

This service covers wasps and hornets. Bee activity is not included in this service.

There are multiple nests on the property. Are they all included?

Each nest is a separate service situation. The service applies to the specific nest or active entry point being treated. If there are multiple nests or separate entry points, those should be reviewed before scheduling.

What should people avoid during service?

Residents, pets, and bystanders should stay away from the treatment area while service is being performed. The technician will confirm when the area can be used again.
