Hire a professional for large or hidden nests
5
What to Do
Call a licensed pest control professional for nests that are large (bigger than a softball), located inside wall voids, in attics, or underground near foundations. Expect to pay $100-$300 depending on location and accessibility.
Why It Works
Professionals have protective equipment, commercial-grade insecticides, and experience accessing difficult locations. DIY removal of large nests — especially yellow jacket colonies with thousands of workers — carries serious sting risk including anaphylaxis.
Tips
- Get quotes from 2-3 companies; some charge for the visit even without treatment
- Ask if they guarantee re-treatment if the colony survives
- Most professionals use a dust or aerosol injected directly into the nest void — the process takes minutes
