605-250-0082Effective, safe, and guaranteed solutions for wasp and hornet problems
Wasps and hornets are aggressive stinging insects that can pose a serious threat to your family and pets. When these pests establish nests on your property, professional removal is often necessary to ensure safety.
At Insight Pest Control, we specialize in the safe and complete removal of wasp and hornet nests. Our experienced technicians use professional-grade equipment and treatments to eliminate these dangerous pests quickly and effectively.
Our wasp control services target not just visible nests, but also identify potential nesting sites to prevent future infestations, providing you with peace of mind and a safer environment.
Wasps and hornets pose significant risks that shouldn't be underestimated. Here's why professional wasp control is essential for your home or business:
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, injecting venom with each sting. For most people, this causes painful swelling and irritation, but for those with allergies, wasp stings can trigger severe reactions requiring emergency medical attention. In rare cases, these reactions can be life-threatening.
Wasp nests in high-traffic areas can render portions of your property unusable. Areas like decks, porches, play equipment, or garden spaces may become dangerous to access when wasps establish nearby nests.
Unlike many pests, wasps are highly defensive of their nests and can attack in swarms when they feel threatened. Certain species are particularly aggressive, posing a serious risk to people and pets nearby.
A single wasp nest can house hundreds or even thousands of wasps. Left untreated, small wasp problems can quickly escalate into large, dangerous infestations that are more difficult and hazardous to remove.
Our professional technicians have the proper protective equipment and treatments to safely eliminate wasp nests.

Aggressive social wasps with distinctive yellow and black markings. They often build nests in the ground, wall voids, or other enclosed spaces. Yellowjackets are particularly dangerous as they are easily provoked and can sting repeatedly.
Build open-comb, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and outdoor structures. While less aggressive than yellowjackets when away from their nest, they will defend their colony when threatened.
Actually a type of yellowjacket, they have black bodies with white faces. They build large, enclosed paper nests in trees, bushes, or structures. Extremely aggressive when their nest is disturbed.
Solitary wasps that build tube-like mud nests. Less aggressive than other wasps, they rarely sting unless directly handled. Still, their nests can damage property and create an unsightly appearance.
