Our approach
How We Handle the Problem
Identify the insect and nest
Paper wasps, hornets and yellow jackets behave differently, so identification and locating the nest are the first priorities.
Treat the active nest
We use targeted control methods appropriate to the nest location and the species involved, with safety around people and pets in mind.
Reduce repeat nesting
We identify openings, sheltered areas and recurring nesting spots that may benefit from sealing or seasonal monitoring.
Greater St. Louis Pest Pressure
Stinging-insect activity rises during the warmer months and can become more noticeable later in summer as colonies grow. Ground nests and hidden wall-void nests are easy to miss until traffic becomes heavy, so repeated flight to one opening is worth investigating.
Prevention After Treatment
- Seal wall and soffit gaps after inactive nests are resolved
- Keep outdoor trash and food covered
- Inspect eaves, sheds and decks early in the warm season
- Avoid disturbing unknown ground nests

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I knock down a wasp nest myself?
Disturbing an active nest can trigger defensive behavior and multiple stings. Nests near people, hidden voids or hard-to-reach areas are safer to assess professionally.
Are yellow jackets the same as paper wasps?
No. They differ in nesting habits and behavior. Correct identification helps determine where the colony is likely located and how it should be handled.
Do old nests get reused?
Many social wasp colonies do not reuse an old nest the following year, but favorable sheltered locations can attract new nesting activity.
