of Experience
Some of the most common pests in Idaho are yellow jackets, wasps & hornets. These flying insects can build their nests almost anywhere, and when they feel threatened, they sting. A single sting is not pleasant — and multiple stings can be extremely painful and dangerous.
Unlike honey bees, wasps and yellow jackets can sting multiple times with no harm to them. These stings can cause severe allergic reactions to some people and pets. Wasps and yellow jackets are extremely aggressive when anyone gets close to their nests, which they may build under your deck or roof.
Yellow Jackets don’t just sting; they also bite. Their bite digs into your skin, giving them a stronger hold as they jab their stinger into your skin.

![Ant Control Nampa, Idaho]()
We have happily used Pestcom for several years for exterior pest service. We developed a sudden ant infestation inside our home in multiple separate locations simultaneously this winter. It took two rounds, but Pestcom knocked them out with minimal disruption to our daily lives and at no additional cost. Highly recommend.

They do a great job every time. I had a new technician, Matt, this time and he was just as excellent as previous ones. Right on time, quick, and professional. He even crawled under my deck to get rid of a hornets nest I didn’t even know about. I appreciate it, Sir! Thank you

Wasp Nest Removal & Treatments in Boise, Idaho
How to Get Rid of Wasps or Yellow Jackets
Bесаuѕе оf thе dаngеrѕ associated wіth wasps, іt іѕ important tо approach wasp removal safely. Professional еxtеrmіnаtоrѕ know how to exterminate wasps аnd аrе best еquірреd to rеmоvе wasps and their nests ѕаfеlу.
Professionals first assess the situation, locating all wasp nests in the area, as there may be more than one. They can also identify the type of insect, since hornets, yellow jackets, wasps, mud daubers, and bees all have different behaviors and may require different types of treatment.
Removing the nest is the first priority, and this is best done when the insects are less active, such as during the evening. Once the nest is removed, proper disposal of the nest and treatment of remaining wasps is necessary in order to completely eradicate the population.
What Attracts Wasps and Yellow Jackets?
Gardens are one of the biggest things that attract wasps to homes. For one, wasps and yellow jackets love sweet smells, so they are often found near flowers or foods that contain sugar. A colorful and flowering garden is also attractive because these pests are drawn to bright colors. Plus, the other insects that are present in gardens — from beetles to ants — make a great food source for wasps and yellow jackets.
Like any other insect, these bugs also need a water source, so they are attracted to standing bodies of water such as pools, ponds, or other water features. By understanding what attracts wasps and yellow jackets, you can help to prevent them from becoming a nuisance.
Do Wasps and Hornets Die After Stinging?
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can deliver a painful sting. And, unfortunately, they do not die after stinging. They can actually sting and bite you multiple times.
Nearly all stinging insects use pheromones, or chemical signals, to communicate with the rest of their colony. If they feel threatened and begin stinging you, wasps typically use those pheremones to tell all wasps in the area to help attack the intruder (which happens to be you). For this reason, disrupting a wasp nest usually results in multiple stings by multiple wasps.
When wasps die, the pheremones they release are even stronger than normal, and surrounding wasps become more aggitated. The more wasps you kill, the more wasps will come to sting you.
Are Yellow Jackets and Wasps Dangerous?
Wasps and yellow jackets are both beneficial and harmful to humans. Wasps help pollinate flowers and other plants, and yellow jackets help by killing other pests. However, they can also be dangerous.
For those who are allergic to these pests, their stings can result in life-threatening symptoms, such as difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, many people do not know they are allergic until they are stung by these pests.
How To Treat a Wasp or Yellow Jacket Sting
Yellow jackets and wasps can become aggressive when they feel their nests are threatened. If you’ve been stung and begin experiencing an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
For more mild symptoms, you can treat a wasp sting by washing the site with soap and water. If the stinger is still in your skin, remove with tweezers and dispose of it in the trash.
To treat the pain and swelling, you can use an ice pack and take anti-flammatory medication. Some topical creams can also help ease the pain and soothe the area.
