Our Process

Our Pest Control Process In Our Process: Expert Stinging Insect Removal in Spanaway

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 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.

02

We treat pests where they live

Our second step involves the direct treatment of stinging insects right where they live and build their nests. For example, we apply knockdown dusts and liquid residuals to accessible nests on eaves and use a specialized combination of dust and liquid for in-ground yellowjacket nests to ensure complete colony elimination.

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 Spanaway, as winter conditions can drive yellowjackets and other stinging insects to seek shelter in wall voids and attics, making it critical to monitor for any secondary colonies or returning foragers that may emerge during brief warm spells common in the Pacific Northwest winter months.

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.

FAQs

Spanaway pest control FAQs

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

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.

We typically respond to stinging insect emergencies within 24-48 hours of your call to our Spanaway location. During winter months like December, wasp and yellowjacket activity is significantly reduced since most colonies die off in late fall, though you may still encounter overwintering queens seeking shelter indoors.

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.
