Expert Stinging Insect Control Services for Olympia Homes
About us
When stinging insects threaten your Olympia property this winter, PCI Pest Control delivers fast, effective solutions backed by our comprehensive local expertise. We specialize in eliminating yellowjackets, wasps, and hornets using professional-grade products like PT Wasp Freeze® and Tempo® Dust, ensuring complete nest neutralization whether they’re tucked under your eaves or buried in your yard.
What sets us apart is our thorough approach and customer-first guarantee. For example, we don’t just knock down visible nests—we apply residual treatments to prevent returning foragers and offer protective gear inspections for hard-to-reach areas like attics and crawlspaces. Our All Seasons Protection Plan covers stinging insects year-round with quarterly maintenance and free callbacks, giving Olympia homeowners true peace of mind even during December’s quieter months when nests may still pose risks.
We understand the Pacific Northwest’s unique pest pressures and respond accordingly. Most stinging insect activity is neutralized at service, though we always advise avoiding treated areas for 2-3 days as foragers may return. Whether you need emergency one-time treatment or ongoing protection, we’re your local Olympia team committed to keeping your family safe.
Why Us?
We use treatments that are mindful around people, pets, and the planet. No foggers. No fumes. No “what’s that smell?”
Month-to-month means we have to impress you monthly. Like dating, but with fewer pheromones.

Our Process
01
Our process begins with a detailed inspection to identify the specific type of stinging insect and pinpoint the exact location of its nest.
During an Olympia winter, this means we meticulously search for dormant nests in common structural areas like eaves, wall voids, or attics to diagnose the situation and prevent future infestations from overwintering queens.

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 foragers from returning after the colony is neutralized. Our technicians wear protective gear when needed and can handle everything from ground nests to attic infestations, removing nests when possible and treating the area to keep your Olympia property sting-free throughout the season.
