Our Wasp Control Philosophy
Here in the Spokane metro area, wasp issues account for approximately 90% of our new customer calls during the summer. Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets ruin family barbeques, chase children inside, and routinely create a huge, sometimes dangerous & painful, nuisance. With any flying insects, it is never possible to achieve 100% control, but there are things that can be done to greatly reduce their population near your home.
We have created a plan of attack to combat these annoying pests that goes well beyond what many other companies are doing. The typical standard treatment is for a service technician apply a repellent insecticide to the eaves that can be easily reached by a sprayer from the ground. This will potentially prevent wasps from building nests in the areas that were treated for 6-8 weeks, but it does very little to reduce the population unless it happens to eliminate a few of the current nests that are conveniently located in visible areas during the treatment. Even then, new wasps entering the area will often find spots to nest where the chemical wasn’t applied. Most customers hate chemical residue on their windows, so it is extremely common for technicians to skip high peaks, and areas directly above windows even when regular pest control services are being performed.
Our approach is different and far exceeds industry standard. For homes with chronic wasp problems with challenging architecture, we take extra time to spot treat as many of the absolute most attractive nesting spots on your home. We use a product that wasps can't detect and more importantly that product can then be transferred to other wasps - even if they haven't landed in the area that was treated. When applied precisely, this can result in FAR fewer wasps around your home!
Additionally, we routinely spend extra time inspecting a property that has known wasp issues, and find nests that can be easily missed. Areas up under low decks, inside the non-cooking area of BBQ grills, inside sprinkler control boxes, under patio furniture, are just a few of the endless places we find active wasp nests. We pride ourselves on finding and eliminating nests that other companies may miss.
We take wasp control like a challenge and treat it as a science. Take a few minutes and read a few of the Google reviews that some of our happy customers have posted over the last several years. At the time of this blog post we had over 160 five-star Google reviews, and our worst review was a four-star review from a customer that still had nothing negative to say about our company. We have worked incredibly hard to earn each of those reviews, and we currently have hundreds of very happy customers around this beautiful city we all share. Contact us today to schedule your wasp control service visit. You’ll immediately start to enjoy the difference we can make controlling wasps around your home!
