Our Process
01
Our process begins with a meticulous inspection of your Lacey property to diagnose the specific stinging insect and pinpoint its nest, which during the cold December weather often means checking protected areas like attics, wall voids, and crawlspaces for overwintering queens.
For example, we identify dormant yellowjacket nests in the ground or hornet nests under insulation, allowing us to create a precise treatment plan before the population becomes active in spring.

Service Types
We tackle stinging insects like yellowjackets, wasps, and hornets with a multi-product approach tailored to each situation. For example, we use PT Wasp Freeze for immediate knockdown on accessible nests, Tempo Dust for wall voids and hard-to-reach areas, and residual treatments like Termidor SC or Bithor SC to prevent returning foragers from re-establishing colonies. Our technicians wear protective gear when needed and can handle everything from ground nests to attic infestations, removing neutralized nests when possible and treating the surrounding area to keep your Lacey property sting-free throughout the season.
We protect Lacey’s commercial properties from stinging insects with targeted treatments designed for the unique needs of local businesses. Our approach includes thorough inspections of office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, restaurants, and healthcare facilities to identify nests in eaves, wall voids, ground areas, and other high-risk zones. We use a combination of knockdown treatments, residual barriers, and dust applications to eliminate active colonies and prevent returning foragers, ensuring your employees and customers can work and shop safely without the threat of yellowjackets, wasps, or hornets disrupting operations.
