We Help Eliminate Stinging Insect Infestations
Stinging insect control isn’t a task to put off or attempt on your own. At Pest All Exterminating, we take a thoughtful and thorough approach to dealing with current infestations while implementing strategies to prevent future problems.
Detailed Property Inspection
We begin with a detailed inspection to understand the extent of the problem.
- Nesting Identification
Wasps and yellowjackets commonly build nests in hidden or difficult-to-reach locations like roofs, crawl spaces, and underground burrows. Identifying these spots is critical to effective removal. - Activity Patterns
Since stinging insects are most active in warmer months, we analyze their flight paths, hotspots on your property, and their attraction points, such as trash cans or garden beds.
Our inspection ensures precision in formulation and execution of our control solutions.
Safe & Targeted Nest Removal
When removing nests, safety is paramount. Stinging insects can quickly become aggressive, especially when their home is disturbed. Our licensed professionals use specialized equipment and protective gear to safely eliminate nests while minimizing risks to you and your family.
Whether it’s a wasp colony hidden in your attic or a yellowjacket burrow in your lawn, we apply targeted methods that remove the problem without unnecessary disruption.
Preventative Treatments & Recommendations
Getting rid of a nest is only the first step. To keep stinging insects from returning, we apply preventive measures that deter them from nesting on your property in the future. These strategies may include:
- Sealing up cracks and gaps in siding, roofs, or windows where insects could enter.
- Treating high-risk areas like pergolas, eaves, and outdoor dining spaces with safe, targeted deterrents.
- Advising you on best practices for landscaping to minimize insect attraction.
Preventive treatments provide lasting peace of mind, protecting your family or business from surprises down the road.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
