Our Process

Our Pest Control Process In

Our Process: Expert Stinging Insect Removal in Puyallup

We pride ourselves on a simple, straight forward no-frills process.

01

You call, we inspect and diagnose

Our first step is a meticulous inspection to diagnose the specific stinging insect problem, which is critical even during a Puyallup winter as we locate dormant nests or overwintering queens in protected areas like attics, wall voids, and under eaves.

For instance, we determine if you have an old paper wasp nest under a deck or a potential yellowjacket harborage site in a crawlspace, allowing us to create a precise plan to prevent a major issue in the spring.

02

We treat pests where they live

Our second step is the direct treatment of the nest itself, targeting the stinging insects where they live and breed on your Puyallup property. For example, we apply knockdown dusts and aerosols to accessible nests on structures, use a combination of dust and liquid residuals for in-ground nests, and perform thorough void dusting for colonies hidden inside walls or attics.

03

We report our findings, and create a plan

After neutralizing the stinging insect threat, we provide a detailed report of our findings and establish an ongoing post-treatment monitoring plan. This December follow-up is especially important in Puyallup, as winter conditions can drive yellowjackets and other stinging insects to seek shelter in wall voids and attics, making it critical to document treated areas and watch for any late-season activity that could indicate secondary nests requiring attention before spring emergence.

FAQs

Puyallup pest control FAQs

Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How much do we charge for stinging insect control in Puyallup Washington?

We typically charge between $220-$325 for stinging insect control in Puyallup, WA, depending on the complexity of the situation. The cost varies based on factors like the type of stinging insect (yellowjackets, wasps, or hornets), nest location and accessibility, and whether the nest is in-ground, in a wall void, or tucked away in your attic or crawlspace.

During December, stinging insect activity is minimal since most colonies die off in late fall, but we occasionally find overwintering queens in attics or protected areas. If you’re dealing with a nest now, it’s likely dormant, which can actually make treatment easier and more affordable than peak summer season when colonies are fully active and aggressive.

For customers on our All Seasons Protection Plan, stinging insect control is included as part of your quarterly service at no additional charge.

Yes, we stand behind our stinging insect control services with a satisfaction guarantee.

If you experience continued activity with covered stinging insects between your scheduled quarterly visits on our All Seasons Protection Plan, we’ll return at no additional charge to re-treat the problem.

During winter months like December, stinging insect activity is minimal since yellowjackets, wasps, and hornets are dormant or have died off, but our guarantee remains in effect year-round for any unexpected activity.

For one-time treatments, we offer a 30-day re-treat guarantee to ensure the nest is fully neutralized and foraging activity has ceased.

We typically respond to stinging insect emergencies within 24-48 hours of your call to our Puyallup location. During winter months like December, wasp and yellowjacket activity is significantly reduced since most colonies die off after the first hard frost, with only fertilized queens overwintering in protected areas. If you’re experiencing stinging insect issues during this season, it’s likely from a nest inside your home’s wall voids or attic where temperatures remain warmer. We prioritize safety-critical situations and can often schedule same-day or next-day service depending on our current route and the severity of your situation.

Yes, we offer free quotes for stinging insect control in Puyallup. Our Pest Control Evaluation is just $50 and includes a quick 20-30 minute assessment of your specific concern with visual inspection, photos, and an on-site quote. While stinging insects like yellowjackets and wasps are less active during December’s winter months, we can still assess nests and provide treatment recommendations for any remaining activity or prepare you for the upcoming spring season when these pests become more prevalent.

Yes, our stinging insect treatments are safe for children and pets once the products have fully dried, which typically takes about 60 minutes. We use EPA-registered products and apply them according to strict safety guidelines to protect your family.

For example, when treating yellowjacket nests or wasp colonies, we apply targeted dust and residual treatments to specific areas like eaves, ground nests, or wall voids rather than broadcasting chemicals throughout your property. Most activity is neutralized during our service visit, though some foraging insects may return for up to 72 hours.

During December and winter months, stinging insect activity is minimal in the Pacific Northwest as most colonies have died off, making this an ideal time for preventative treatments and sealing potential nesting sites. We recommend keeping children and pets away from treated areas for 2-3 days after service to ensure complete effectiveness and safety.
