About us

Protecting Your Home From Yellow Jackets

We’ve been protecting Pacific Northwest homes from yellow jackets for years, and we understand how aggressive these stinging insects can become during summer when their colonies reach peak size. Our technicians arrive equipped with professional-grade products and protective gear to handle nests in any location, from underground burrows to wall voids and attic spaces.

What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to yellow jacket removal. We don’t just knock down the nest and leave. We treat the entire area with residual products that deter returning foragers, and we take the time to identify all entry points and potential nesting sites around your property.

Every yellow jacket situation is different. Some nests are accessible and straightforward to treat. Others require specialized equipment and techniques to reach hidden colonies in crawlspaces or behind siding. We assess each situation on-site and explain exactly what needs to happen before we begin work.

Our team knows that yellow jacket activity can persist for 48 to 72 hours after treatment as foragers return to the nest. We provide clear safety instructions and follow-up support to ensure your family stays protected throughout the elimination process.

Most importantly, we back our work with solid guarantees and offer ongoing protection through our maintenance plans. If you’re dealing with yellow jackets now or want to prevent future infestations, we have the experience and tools to solve the problem right the first time.

Excellent customer service, friendly, and professional. Checked out everything thoroughly. Looked at problem and worked on possible solution. Moved rodent boxes around to work with mice coming for apples frequently falling from tree during this season.

We've been using PCI since at least as far back as 2007. We've moved twice and they've come along with us. They are always professional and thorough. If we've ever had something come up between services, they are always prompt to response. Very courteous and friendly staff all around. Two thumbs up! 💯 Kristian is always polite and friendly. 🤙🏼🤙🏼 *Updated to say this all still holds true**

Our Process

Our Process: Safe, Fast Yellow Jacket Removal

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

01

You call, we inspect and diagnose

We arrive in full protective gear and conduct a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact location of the yellowjacket nest, whether it’s tucked under eaves, hidden in a wall void, burrowed into the ground, or concealed beneath insulation in your attic or crawlspace. For example, ground nests often appear as small holes with heavy traffic during summer as colonies reach peak size, while structural nests may reveal themselves through persistent activity near siding gaps or roof lines where foraging yellowjackets enter and exit throughout the day.

02

We treat pests where they live

We apply a targeted treatment using professional-grade insecticides and dusts directly into the nest entrance, whether it’s a ground burrow or a structural void, ensuring the product reaches deep into the colony where the queen and developing larvae reside. In August, as yellowjacket colonies expand and workers become more aggressive while foraging for food sources, we time our application for early morning or dusk when most foragers have returned to the nest, maximizing contact with the entire population and preventing defensive swarming that peaks during peak summer activity.

03

We report our findings, and create a plan

We return 7-10 days after the initial treatment to inspect the nest site and confirm complete colony elimination, checking for any residual yellowjacket activity around the former entrance and throughout the property perimeter. During this August follow-up, we also assess whether any stragglers from neighboring colonies are attempting to establish themselves in the now-vacant nest location, applying a final residual barrier treatment to the area to prevent recolonization as summer activity continues and queens seek protected nesting sites.

FAQs

Yellow Jacket Removal FAQs

Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What's the process for treating a ground-level nest?
Dust and liquid residual get applied directly at the nest entrance.
Visible, papery nests usually mean wasps or hornets, while hidden nests point to yellowjackets.
Treatment selection varies by nest location and species, always per label instructions.
Activity mostly ends immediately, with stragglers tapering off over the next few days.
Painting or sealing exposed wood while nests are vacant reduces the odds of return activity.
