WASP CONTROL IN ST. LOUIS

Wasp control is finding and removing active nests and treating the spots wasps rebuild in. In St. Louis, paper wasps, yellowjackets and hornets build from spring through fall, and nests get bigger and more aggressive by late summer. Nests on your house are removed on every quarterly Home Shield visit, and if one shows up between visits, we come back free.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

Stinging insects we see in St. Louis.

Each one nests differently, so each one gets handled differently.

EAVES

Paper wasps

Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, railings and deck boards.

GROUND & WALLS

Yellowjackets

Nest in the ground, in shrubs and inside wall voids. The most aggressive in late summer.

TREES

Bald-faced hornets

Big gray paper nests in trees and bushes. Very defensive when disturbed.

SHELTERED SPOTS

Mud daubers

Tube-shaped mud nests on siding and in garages. Rarely sting.

WARNING SIGNS

Signs you have a nest nearby.

  • Wasps flying in and out of the same spot
  • A hole in the lawn with steady traffic (yellowjackets)
  • A paper nest under eaves, decks or railings
  • Buzzing inside a wall or attic

Never plug a hole with wasps coming out of it. They will chew a new way out, sometimes into the house.

WHY SPRAY FAILS

Why store spray is a risky fix.

Store-bought spray

  • You have to get close to an angry nest
  • Ground and wall nests are hard to reach
  • Misses the queen and brood inside
  • Wasps rebuild in the same spot

Zero Pest

  • Nests removed on every Home Shield visit
  • Ground and wall nests treated at the source
  • Protective gear and the right products
  • Free return if a new nest shows up
HOW WE TREAT IT

How we handle a nest.

  1. Find the nest

    We track the flight path to the actual nest, including ground and wall nests.

  2. Treat it

    The right product for the nest type, applied at the entrance so it reaches the colony.

  3. Remove it

    Exposed nests come down once the colony is gone.

  4. Treat rebuild spots

    Eaves, decks and railings get treated so wasps are less likely to rebuild.

  5. Come back

    Every Home Shield visit includes nest removal, and new nests between visits are free.

“I had a wasp nest the size of a basketball removed by zero pest control. I called in the morning, and they were out within a few hours. The owner sent me photos of before and after.”

“Alex was courteous, friendly and professional. He removed a fairly large hornet nest with about 50 active hornets from my property. I will call them again if I have any pest control needs.”

FAQ

Wasp Control questions.

How fast can you get rid of a wasp nest?
Usually the same day or next. Call or text and we will get you on the schedule.
Should I spray the nest myself?
We don't recommend it. Ground and wall nests are hard to reach, and a missed colony comes back angrier. Never plug the hole.
Why do wasps keep building in the same spot?
The same sheltered spots attract new queens every spring. We treat eaves, decks and railings to make them less appealing.
How much is wasp control in St. Louis?
Nest removal is included in Home Shield: most homes pay $175 for the first visit (normally $275, with $100 off for new customers), then from $45 a month. One-time visits are quoted by phone.
Are yellowjackets in the ground dangerous?
They can be, especially in late summer when colonies are large. Mowing over a nest can set off a lot of stings. Call us to handle it.
