Looking for stinging insect control this winter and wondering how we protect your home from wasps, hornets, and other overwintering pests?
About us
We understand that stinging insects can turn your outdoor spaces into no-go zones. Our team at PCI Pest Control specializes in safe, effective removal of wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, and other stinging pests that threaten your family’s comfort and safety.
What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to stinging insect control. We don’t just knock down visible nests and leave. We treat the entire area with residual barriers that deter returning foragers, and we’re equipped to handle everything from accessible eaves to challenging in-ground yellowjacket colonies and wall voids.
Our technicians arrive in full protective gear with professional-grade products like Tempo Dust and PT Wasp Freeze. We locate every entry point, neutralize active nests, and provide targeted treatments that keep your property protected. Whether you’re dealing with a single nest or multiple problem areas, we have the experience to handle it right the first time.
We also offer preventative treatments as part of our All Seasons Protection Plans, which means you get quarterly service with free callbacks if stinging insects return between visits. This fall season is actually an ideal time to address nests before they become next year’s problem, and our team is ready to help you reclaim your yard.
Every stinging insect situation is different, and we tailor our approach to your specific needs. From attic infestations to ground nests hidden in your landscaping, we’ve seen it all and know how to eliminate the threat while keeping your family safe throughout the process.

Our Process
Our Process: Safe, Effective Stinging Insect Removal
01
We arrive in full protective gear to locate and assess every stinging insect nest on your property, checking common fall hotspots like eaves, ground burrows where yellowjackets retreat as temperatures drop, wall voids, and shrubs. For example, we inspect under decks where wasps cluster before winter, around vents where hornets build late-season nests, and in attics where paper wasps seek shelter from cooler Pacific Northwest weather.
02
We apply targeted treatments using professional-grade products like PT Wasp Freeze and Tempo Dust to neutralize active nests, whether they’re tucked under eaves, buried in ground burrows, hidden in wall voids, or clustered in attics where paper wasps seek shelter from November’s cooler Pacific Northwest conditions. We treat each nest with precision in full protective gear, using knockdown aerosols for accessible locations and thorough void dusting for inaccessible areas, then apply residual barriers around former nest sites to deter returning foragers who may continue activity for up to 72 hours after treatment.
03
We conduct a thorough follow-up inspection 7-10 days after initial treatment to confirm complete nest elimination, checking all previously treated locations including eaves, ground burrows, wall voids, and attic spaces where yellowjackets and paper wasps often establish secondary satellite nests during fall as colonies prepare for winter dormancy.
During this visit, we remove any remaining neutralized nests, verify that residual barriers are holding strong against late-season forager activity, and treat any newly discovered nests that may have been missed during the initial service, ensuring your property remains protected as stinging insect activity naturally declines through November and December.

FAQs
We charge between $220 and $325 for most stinging insect control services, though the final cost depends on several factors.
The price varies based on the location of the nest, the type of stinging insect, and how accessible the treatment area is.
For example, ground nests and accessible eaves are simpler to treat, while wall voids or attic nests require more time and specialized equipment.
During fall, yellowjacket activity remains high as colonies reach peak size, which can affect treatment complexity and cost.
Yes, we stand behind our stinging insect control services with a satisfaction guarantee. If you experience continued activity with covered stinging insects after our treatment, we’ll return at no additional cost to make it right.
Our guarantee applies to wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets treated during your service. For example, if we treat a yellowjacket nest in your yard this November and you notice foragers returning to the area within 30 days, we’ll come back to retreat the site.
Customers enrolled in our All Seasons Protection Plans receive even more comprehensive coverage. They get free callback visits for any covered pest issues between their scheduled quarterly services, including stinging insects that become active during fall months.
We want you to feel confident in our work and comfortable in your outdoor spaces throughout the year.
We can respond to stinging insect emergencies within 24 hours in most cases.
During November, yellowjacket activity decreases as temperatures drop, but nests remain active until the first hard freeze.
We prioritize urgent situations where nests threaten high-traffic areas or pose immediate safety risks.
Contact us as soon as you notice activity, and we’ll schedule your service at the earliest available time.
Yes, we offer free quotes for stinging insect control service.
During November, yellowjackets and wasps are less active but nests may still be present in eaves, wall voids, or underground.
We provide a quick Pest Control Evaluation for $50 that includes a 20-30 minute assessment with photos and on-site pricing, or you can schedule a comprehensive Peace of Mind Inspection for $150 if you need a detailed property walkthrough.
For example, if you’ve noticed a nest in your attic or under your deck, we’ll identify the species, locate all entry points, and give you an exact quote before any work begins.
Yes, our stinging insect treatments are safe for both children and pets. We use EPA-registered products that are applied according to strict safety guidelines, and these treatments become family-friendly once they have dried, which takes about 60 minutes in most cases.
For example, when treating yellowjacket nests or wasp colonies, we apply targeted residual treatments to specific areas like eaves, wall voids, or ground nests rather than broadcasting chemicals throughout your property. After we neutralize the nest and apply our barrier treatments, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the treated area for 2-3 days while any remaining forager activity subsides, but the products themselves are safe once dry.
We take extra care during fall treatments when stinging insects are most aggressive and active. Our technicians wear protective gear and use precision application methods to minimize any exposure risk to your family.
