Our Process
01
Our first step is a meticulous inspection of your Spanaway property to identify the specific stinging insect and diagnose the extent of the issue, which in December often involves locating where queens may be overwintering.
We thoroughly examine common harborage sites like wall voids, attics, and eaves to find evidence of yellowjackets or hornets and determine the safest, most effective plan for removal.

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 assess each nest location carefully, whether it’s hanging from your eaves, buried in your yard, or hidden inside a wall void, then apply the right combination of dusts, aerosols, and liquid treatments to eliminate the threat and keep your Spanaway property safe throughout the season.
We protect Spanaway’s commercial properties from stinging insects with targeted treatments designed for the unique needs of local businesses. Our team services warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, restaurants, and industrial facilities throughout the area, understanding that yellowjackets and wasps pose serious risks to both employees and customers in our Pacific Northwest climate.
For example, we conduct thorough inspections of building exteriors, loading docks, and outdoor dining areas to locate nests in eaves, wall voids, and ground locations common to Spanaway properties. We use professional-grade dusts and residual treatments to eliminate colonies and prevent foraging insects from returning, often completing work during off-hours to minimize disruption to your operations.
Our approach includes follow-up monitoring and seasonal prevention strategies that keep your commercial space safe year-round, with particular attention during spring and early summer when stinging insect activity peaks in the Spanaway area.

FAQs
We typically charge between $220-$325 for stinging insect control in Spanaway, 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 multiple nests need treatment.
During December, stinging insect activity is minimal since most colonies die off in late fall, with only fertilized queens overwintering in protected areas. If you’re seeing activity now, it’s likely stragglers or nests in warmer wall voids, which we can treat with dust applications and residual products.
For homes requiring ongoing protection or multiple treatments throughout the warmer months, our All Seasons Protection Plan starts at $275 initially with $51 monthly, covering stinging insects plus all common Pacific Northwest pests with free callbacks between visits.
Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on our stinging insect control services in Spanaway.
If you’re enrolled in one of our pest protection plans (ASIP, ASPP, or ASPP+), you receive free callback visits for stinging insects between your scheduled quarterly services.
For one-time treatments, we provide a 30-day re-treat guarantee, so if yellowjackets, wasps, or hornets return to the treated area within that window, we’ll come back at no additional charge.
While stinging insect activity is minimal during December and winter months, nests can still be present in wall voids or attics, and we stand behind our work year-round to ensure your home remains protected.

If you discover an active nest or unexpected stinging insect activity, we’ll prioritize your service request and work to schedule you as quickly as possible. Same-day or next-day appointments are often available depending on our current route schedule and the severity of your situation.
Yes, we offer free quotes for stinging insect control in Spanaway. During December and the winter months, stinging insect activity is typically minimal as most wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets have died off or gone dormant. However, we can still assess your property for old nests, potential nesting sites, and provide recommendations for preventative treatments before spring arrives.
We offer a quick Pest Control Evaluation for $50 that includes a 20-30 minute assessment with photos and on-site pricing. For more comprehensive concerns, our Peace of Mind Inspection is $150 and includes a full 60-90 minute property walkthrough with detailed recommendations.
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.
