Wasps in Denver commonly fall into three groups homeowners see most: yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald‑faced hornets. If you notice frequent traffic around eaves, deck rails, playsets, wall voids, or ground holes, there’s likely a nest nearby.

1) Inspection & species ID
A licensed technician inspects eaves, soffits, decks, sheds, play equipment, wall voids, and landscaping to locate all nests and entry points. Identifying the exact species and nest type informs a safe, effective plan.
2) Targeted treatment (people‑ & pet‑conscious)
We choose products and application methods that fit the nest location—interior voids vs. exterior structures vs. ground nests—to neutralize the colony while minimizing disruption around doors, patios, and play areas.
3) Physical nest removal
Once safe, we take down the nest, bag and remove it from your property, and address any reachable satellite activity so the problem doesn’t bounce back a week later.
4) Prevention & exclusion
We treat conducive areas (eaves/soffits) and share fix‑first tips: sealing gaps and screens, tightening trash, relocating feeders, and yard hygiene that reduces attractants. For a step‑by‑step homeowner list, see Tips to Keep Wasps Away.
5) Cleanup & aftercare
You’ll receive clear guidance on what to watch over the next few weeks and when to call if you see unusual activity. During peak season, we offer priority scheduling for urgent re‑builds.
Yellowjackets
Aggressive defenders that often nest in ground holes or wall voids; the wasps most people accidentally tangle with around outdoor food and trash. Our process targets both the nest and the routes they use to scavenge your space.
Paper Wasps
Slender wasps that hang their combs under eaves, soffits, and beams. Because their open‑cell nests grow quickly, early treatment plus light exclusion goes a long way.
Bald‑faced Hornets
Large, highly defensive wasps (technically yellowjackets) known for enclosed gray “football” nests in trees and shrubs. These require specialized protective gear and a cautious takedown plan.
Activity typically ramps up in late spring, peaks in late summer through early fall, and tapers off as cold weather arrives. Drought and heat drive wasps toward patios, trash bins, and outdoor eating spaces, which is why August and September bring a flood of sting calls. For a timely checklist, read How to Protect Your Home from Wasps in August Heat.

Will the wasps come back after removal?
Our approach treats the colony and removes the nest, then we recommend prevention around eaves, soffits, trash, and outdoor eating areas. Wasps can start new nests later in the season, which is why light exclusion and sanitation matter.
Can I remove a nest myself?
DIY sprays can agitate colonies and cause multiple stings, especially in wall voids or high‑traffic spots. The safest option is to call a licensed pro—particularly for nests near doors, decks, playsets, or inside structures.
How quickly can you get here?
During peak season, we offer priority scheduling—often same‑day or next‑day when routes allow. Call 303‑987‑0842 for current availability.
Are treatments safe for kids and pets?
We select products and methods for the location and species, apply with precision, and advise how long to keep people and pets clear of treated areas. Your technician will explain everything before work begins.
What if the nest is in a wall or roof void?
Void nests require specialized treatment to neutralize the colony without pushing activity indoors. We’ve handled thousands of structural nests and will outline the safest plan on site.
How much does professional wasp removal cost in Denver?
Pricing depends on species, nest size, and location (height and access). You’ll get a clear, up‑front quote before we start—no surprises.
