Wasp and hornet removal in Elko is a late-summer job when colonies hit peak size. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under the eaves. Yellowjackets nest in the ground and wall voids and are the most aggressive stinging insect in late summer. Bald-faced hornets build large aerial nests in trees and on building corners.

Timing matters — a nest in June has a few dozen workers; the same nest in September has a few thousand. Treatment at dusk or dawn, when the colony is clustered, gives the best result.

Stinging insects in Elko

  • Paper wasps — umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and soffits.
  • Yellowjackets — ground-nesting and wall-void-nesting, aggressively defensive.
  • Bald-faced hornets — large aerial nests in trees and on building corners.
  • Mud daubers — solitary wasps with mud-tube nests, rarely sting.

How we remove wasp and hornet nests

  1. Free inspection. The technician locates the nest and identifies the species.
  2. Protective treatment. At dusk or dawn, targeted insecticide kills the adults on contact.
  3. Nest removal. The physical nest is removed to prevent re-infestation.
  4. Preventive treatment. Residual insecticide prevents new wasps from rebuilding.
