Stinging Insects Are Dangerous

Wasps and hornets sting again and again when they think you are near their nest. For anyone with a sting allergy, that can mean a trip to the ER.

There was a huge hornet nest under our deck. We were afraid to go outside. Green Guard removed it the same day we called.

Know Your Enemy: Wasp & Hornet Removal Facts

Identification

Paper wasps have long legs and thin waists. Yellow jackets are bright yellow and black, often nesting underground in Boise lawns or inside wall voids. Bald-faced hornets are larger, black and white, and build the football-shaped paper nests you see hanging in cottonwoods and maples. Mud daubers are solitary and rarely aggressive.

Behavior & Habits

Paper wasps and yellow jackets build paper nests under eaves, inside attic vents, in grill covers, and in ground burrows across the Treasure Valley. They get aggressive fast when something bumps the nest. Activity peaks here in August and September, right when colonies hit their full size of 1,000+ workers.

Health & Property Risks

Multiple stings can trigger severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Even without an allergy, stings hurt for days and can get infected if you scratch them. Yellow jackets are the worst offenders because they can sting repeatedly without losing their stinger.

Warning Signs You Have an Infestation

  • Visible nest under eaves, in trees, or on the side of the house
  • Wasps flying the same path in and out of one spot
  • Wasps entering and exiting holes in siding or in the ground
  • Buzzing sounds in walls or attic vents

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our wasp & hornet removal services

Skip the DIY. Bumping a nest the wrong way kicks off a swarm attack, and even a softball-sized paper-wasp nest can hide 50+ workers ready to defend it. Yellow jackets are even worse because they sting over and over. Our techs show up in bee suits with hospital-grade products built for the job.
Call by noon Monday through Friday and we handle most wasp emergencies the same day across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, and Star. Most calls hit the schedule within 2 to 4 hours during business hours. We do not run service on weekends, so call early if a Friday nest needs to come down.
August and September are the worst months here. Colonies hit peak size of 1,000+ workers right when school starts and football kicks off, so backyards and patios become flash points. Workers also turn meaner as they protect the queen and the next generation of larvae.
The colony we treat is done. The trouble is that the same spot, like a sheltered eave or a sunny soffit, often attracts new queens the following spring. We treat those favorite nesting areas during removal and roll the rest into our quarterly service so spring queens look somewhere else.
Yellow jackets are a type of wasp. They are bright yellow and black, nest underground or in wall voids, and are the most aggressive of the three. Paper wasps have longer legs, build the visible umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, and are calmer unless you crowd the nest. Bald-faced hornets are the larger black-and-white ones building football-shaped paper nests in Treasure Valley cottonwoods and maples.
Wasp nest removal is included with our regular pest control service. New subscribers get the initial visit for just $49, then quarterly treatments at $119 for homes up to 2,500 sq ft, $139 for 2,501 to 4,000 sq ft, and $159 for 4,001 to 5,500 sq ft.
