Safe, Effective Removal of Stinging Insects: Wasps, Hornets, and Bees from Your Property

Stinging insects on your property put your family at risk every time someone walks outside. An estimated 72 people die each year in the U.S. from stings by bees, wasps, and hornets, which can deliver painful stings, and for people with allergies, a single sting can quickly become a medical emergency. Get a Reno's professional stinging insect removal service eliminates active nests using effective methods, identifies the wasp species or bee variety involved, and seals entry points so new colonies cannot rebuild. You stay inside while we handle the stinging pests with proper equipment and species-specific methods.

Why You'll Love Get a Reno's Service

• Zero Sting Risk for You – Our technicians wear full protective suits, leather gloves with gauntlets, and sealed veils. You and your family stay clear of the removal zone entirely. Professional removal reduces the risk of painful stings to zero for property occupants.

• Same-Day Emergency Response – Yellow jackets are known for their aggressive behavior when disturbed, and a wasp infestation near a doorway or play area cannot wait. Get a Reno dispatches technicians for same-day emergency calls when aggressive stinging insects threaten occupied spaces.

• Nests Don't Come Back – After nest removal, we seal cracks and gaps in structures to block wasp entry, close damaged window sills and vents, and apply preventive treatments at prior nesting locations. Our 60-day guarantee covers nest reformation in every treated area.

• Pet- and Child-Safe Treatments – We use insecticidal dusts with low mammalian toxicity applied directly into nest cavities rather than broadcast aerosol sprays. This confines the active ingredient to the target area and keeps outdoor areas, yards, and play zones safe.

• Accurate Species Identification – Wasps are categorized as social or solitary species, and many species require different handling approaches. Get a Reno technicians identify insect type and nest location before selecting a treatment plan. Important pollinators and other beneficial insects may be protected or relocated, while aggressive social wasps get eliminated.

What Makes Get a Reno Different

Most pest control providers spray a visible nest and leave. That approach fails when yellow jackets nest underground or in wall voids, when a hornet nest sits 30 feet up in a tree, or when the insects are honey bees that should be relocated rather than killed.

Get a Reno operates differently in three concrete ways:

• Full Property Assessment – Before any treatment, a technician checks eaves, attics, crawl spaces, tree branches, ground burrows, and outdoor structures. Many properties have more than one active nest. Missing a secondary colony means the problem returns.

• Species-Specific Treatment Plans – Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests from chewed wood fibers and respond to direct aerosol spray from up to 20 feet. Yellow jackets often nest underground or in wall voids and require insecticidal dust inserted into the entrance hole. Bald-faced hornet nests can be the size of a basketball or larger, demanding extension-pole application. Cicada killers are large, solitary wasps that hunt cicadas; they rarely sting and often need no treatment at all. Each scenario calls for different tools, timing, and materials.

• Prevention Built into Every Job – We seal entry points to prevent new nests from forming, cover open compost bins and garbage cans to deter wasps, and advise property owners to remove ripe fruits and vegetables from outdoor areas. Traps and baits suppress yellowjacket populations in late summer when wasp activity peaks. Prevention involves eliminating food sources and nesting sites, not just killing the current colony.

How Our Process Works: Preventive Treatments Explained

1. Property Inspection and Risk Assessment A Get a Reno technician surveys the entire property to locate every stinging insects nest. We check for current or empty nests regularly around your home, inside wall voids, under eaves, and in ground burrows. Species identification happens on-site: bees, wasps, hornets, solitary wasps, and bumble bees each present different risks. The technician records nest size, proximity to human traffic, and allergy concerns before recommending a treatment plan.

2. Safe Professional Removal We treat nests at night when insects are less active. Technicians use red-filtered lights because shining a standard flashlight directly into the nest entrance triggers defensive swarming. For exposed wasp nests and hornet nests, we use long-range spray from a distance of up to 20 feet. For ground or hidden nests, insecticidal dust (deltamethrin or cyfluthrin) is applied through the entrance with a bellows duster. After waiting 24 hours, we physically remove the nest once the colony is dead. For honey bees inside structures, comb and honey are extracted completely to prevent secondary infestations from other insects drawn to the residue.

3. Prevention and Monitoring Once the active threat is eliminated, we seal cracks and gaps in structures to block future wasp or hornet entry. We seal damaged window sills and vents to prevent wasps from recolonizing. A follow-up inspection confirms all activity has stopped. Get a Reno backs every treatment with a 60-day guarantee; if stinging pests return to the same location within that window, we re-treat at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional removal necessary, or can I handle it myself? DIY removal creates serious risks. Disturbing a wasp nest can trigger aggressive swarms, and wasps can sting multiple times unlike honey bees, which sting once. Commercial aerosol sprays are designed for DIY removal of visible nests, but they fail on underground colonies and hidden wall-void nests. Sealing an active nest entrance without killing the colony first can drive angry wasps into your living space through interior gaps. Hire professionals for nests that are large or difficult to reach.

How fast can Get a Reno respond? We offer same-day service for aggressive wasp species, hornet removal, and situations involving allergic household members. Non-emergency appointments typically schedule within 48 hours.

What if the insects come back? Our 60-day guarantee covers retreatment at no charge. Because we seal entry points, eliminate food attractants, and apply targeted treatments at prior nesting locations, reformation rates drop to near zero. We also recommend that homeowners cover open compost bins and garbage cans to deter wasps and remove ripe fruits and vegetables from outdoor areas to cut off food sources.

Are your treatments safe for pets and children? Yes. We use dust formulations applied directly into nest cavities rather than broadcast spraying. Dusts stay contained inside the treated void and carry low mammalian toxicity. Treated outdoor areas are safe to re-enter after the follow-up confirmation, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

How much does wasp extermination or hornet control cost? Pricing depends on nest count, species, accessibility, and whether wall or structural repair is needed. A single exposed paper wasp nest costs less than removing larger nests of yellow jackets from underground burrows. Call (929) 294-7360 for a specific quote based on your situation.

Do you kill bees? Honey bees and bumble bees are important pollinators. When possible, Get a Reno coordinates with a local beekeeper to safely remove and relocate bee colonies rather than exterminate them. Relocation includes full comb extraction to prevent secondary pest problems. Wasp extermination and hornet removal services apply only to aggressive species that pose a direct threat.

Ready to Protect Your Property?

Every hour a stinging insects nest stays active near your home, the colony grows and the risk of multiple stings increases. Wasps are most active during the summer months, peaking in late summer, when insect populations are at their largest and aggressive nature is at its highest.

Get a Reno will safely remove the threat, seal your property against future infestations, and back the work with a 60-day guarantee.
