When stinging insects invade your Puyallup property this Summer, PCI Pest Control responds with proven expertise and local knowledge.

Our technicians arrive in full protective gear with professional-grade products like PT Wasp Freeze and Tempo Dust to neutralize threats safely. We don’t just knock down visible nests—we treat wall voids, attics, and crawlspaces where colonies hide, then apply residual barriers to prevent returning foragers for up to 72 hours after treatment. For Puyallup homeowners on our All Seasons Protection Plan, stinging insect control is included with free callbacks, giving you year-round peace of mind at just $52 per month after your initial service.

Our Process

Our Process: Expert Stinging Insect Removal in Puyallup

We pride ourselves on a simple, straight forward no-frills process.

You call, we inspect and diagnose

Our stinging insect control process begins when a licensed technician performs a thorough inspection of your Puyallup property to identify the specific pest, whether it’s wasps, hornets, or yellowjackets, and locate all nesting sites.

As temperatures rise in August, we meticulously search for new nests in common summertime locations like under eaves, within wall voids, or in-ground burrows where overwintering queens are actively building their colonies.

We treat pests where they live

We apply professional-grade products directly into the nest itself to neutralize the colony where it lives and breeds. For example, we may use a knockdown aerosol for an accessible nest under your eaves, or inject a combination of dust and liquid residual products directly into an in-ground yellowjacket nest.

We report our findings, and create a plan

After neutralizing the stinging insect threat, we provide a detailed report of our findings and document all treatments applied to your Puyallup property. We then establish an ongoing post-treatment monitoring plan that’s especially important during August when yellowjacket queens are establishing new colonies and wasp activity increases throughout the Pacific Northwest, ensuring any returning foragers or new nest-building attempts are quickly addressed before they become problematic again.
