The homes near the the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, and rivers and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
Prevention tips for Josephine homeowners
- Seal gaps under the eaves and in the soffits.
- Keep the trash covered and away from the doors.
- Remove fallen fruit and food sources.
- Check for new nests in the spring.
- Keep windows and vents screened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you remove a nest safely?
We treat the nest at the low-activity time, usually evening, apply a targeted product, and remove the nest where it is safe. Protective gear and a planned escape route are standard.
Q: Are these bees or wasps?
Most calls in Josephine are for paper wasps and yellowjackets, which nest in the eaves and the ground. We treat wasps and hornets, and we do not harm the beneficial bees we are sometimes asked about.
Q: Why are the nests worse in late summer?
Colonies grow through the summer and peak in August and September, which is when they are largest and the workers are most defensive.
Q: Can I just knock the nest down?
No, and we do not recommend it. Disturbing an active nest triggers an attack, and the wasps will rebuild. A targeted treatment removes the colony.
Q: How much does wasp nest removal cost in Josephine?
An exposed nest under the eaves runs $120 to $250 in Josephine, with ground nests and wall voids running higher. Same-day service is available for nests near the doors and the high-traffic areas.
