Wasps—More Than Just A Nuisance
The Dangers of Wasp Nests Around Your Home
Active wasp nests are more than a nuisance. A single nest can send dozens of stinging insects after you if it's bumped or sprayed the wrong way, and in Southeast Idaho some wasps nest in the ground or inside cracks and voids, overwintering and becoming active again when it warms up. That means you may only see part of the problem while other nests stay hidden in small, hard-to-reach spaces, so if you're not sure how serious it is, text us a picture and we'll help you decide what to do next.

Can I Get Rid of This Wasp Nest Myself?
DIY wasp removal sounds simple, but it often means buying sprays, guessing where all the nests are, and risking a sting—only to have hidden nests bring the problem right back.
We handle it quickly and affordably. We find the nests, treat them safely, and if activity continues in the treated area, we'll come back and make it right.
What Kind of Wasp Is It?
Common Wasps Around Rexburg and How to Spot Them
Different wasps behave differently, and knowing what you're dealing with can help you understand the risk. In Rexburg and the Upper Valley, we commonly see:
- Paper wasps – Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under roof edges, deck rails, and play equipment. They're often visible but can still be aggressive when disturbed.
- Yellowjackets – More aggressive and often more unpredictable. They may nest in wall voids, landscaping, or underground, and you might only notice them when they're already flying near people.
- Bald-faced hornets – Recognizable by their large, gray, football-shaped nests usually high in trees or attached to structures. These nests can hold a lot of insects.
- Ground-nesting wasps – Sometimes found in lawns, flowerbeds, or near foundations, creating hidden entry points that are easy to step on by accident.
You don't need to identify the wasp before you call. If it stings and it's too close to where people live, walk, or play, we can help you deal with it safely.
What to Expect
How Our Wasp Removal Process Works
We keep the process straightforward so you know exactly what will happen when you reach out.
- Call or text with details. Tell us what you're seeing and where you're located. If you can, send a quick photo of the nest or the wasps.
- Schedule a visit. We'll give you a clear price range and set up a time to come out, usually very quickly for active nests near doors, porches, or kids' areas.
