Signs you may need yellow jacket control
- Yellow jackets flying in and out of a hole in the lawn
- Wasps entering a gap in siding, brick or a soffit
- Chewing sounds inside a wall
- Aggressive wasps around trash cans and patios
What causes the problem
Abandoned rodent burrows, landscape timbers and gaps in siding give yellow jackets sheltered nest sites. Colonies peak in August and September.
Why professional treatment matters
Plugging a wall nest can drive yellow jackets indoors. Professional dust and liquid treatments placed at the entry reach the entire colony safely.
Our treatment approach
- Locate nest entrances
- Treat ground and void nests
- Return to confirm the colony is gone
What to expect
Most homes are protected on our annual service agreement: an initial service, then four quarterly services starting 30 days later to break the egg cycle, with free reservice if pests return between visits.
Prevention tips
- Fill old rodent burrows in the lawn
- Keep garbage lids closed
- Seal siding gaps after the nest is treated

Yellow Jacket Control FAQs
Can I seal a yellow jacket hole in my wall?
Not until the nest is treated. Sealing it first can force the wasps into your home.
