Wasp and Yellow Jacket Control Services

If you’re dealing with wasps near your home or business, Lookout Pest Control can help. Our experienced wasp and yellowjacket exterminators provide fast and worry-free service, so you can enjoy your outdoor area without fear of aggressive stinging insects.

While it’s true that wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets do their fair share of work for the environment by pollinating plants, preying on smaller insects, and providing food for larger ones, they can also be highly dangerous. If you see a nest nearby, call us now to safeguard your property. We’ll be happy to provide you with a free estimate on wasp control in the Southeastern United States.

Types of Wasps Found in the Southeastern United States

Did you know that “wasp” is not a species, but a classification, similar to how “bee” is not a species? It’s true: there are many different kinds of wasps in the Southeastern United States. Yellowjackets are a type of wasp, for example, and so are different types of hornets like the European hornet and the bald-faced hornet.

Here are the common types of wasps you can find in the Southeastern United States:

Bald-Faced Hornet
European Hornet
Cicada Killer Wasp
Paper Wasp
Red Paper Wasp
Velvet Ant Wasp
Mud Dauber
Yellowjacket

How Does Wasp Pest Control Work?

Our wasp and yellowjacket control services are hassle-free, fast, and safe. Here’s what you can expect:

It starts with a no-obligation estimate or assessment. If the wasp or hornet’s nest is located on a building or fence, we can probably provide an estimate over the phone. If the nest is in a tree, underground, or another location which requires more complex removal, we’ll send a technician out to assess and provide you with a quote.
Ready to move forward? The next step is exterminating the stinging insects, nest removal, and treating the surrounding area to reduce the risk of re-infestation.
Once the nest is removed, we’ll advise on long-term prevention. Examples might include sealing gaps in wooden structures, using protective paints or stains, and routine inspections to catch early signs of wasp, hornet, or yellowjacket activity.

Wasps or Bees? How to Tell the Difference

Not sure if you have wasps or bees on your property? It’s important to know how to tell because wasps are much more aggressive than bees, and therefore, much more dangerous. We provide both bee control (including carpenter bee control) and wasp control depending on which you need.

Appearance: Bees have rounder and fuzzier bodies that look “cuter.” Wasps have longer, slender bodies with a narrow “waist” between the thorax and abdomen. They look “meaner.”
Nesting Habits: Most bees build large communal nests in sheltered areas. Wasp nests are often papery and can be found in eaves, tree branches, or underground.
Temperament: For the most part, bees will not attack unless they feel threatened, which can happen if you get too close to their nest. Wasps will sometimes turn aggressive without warning. They guard their nests vigilantly and individuals will repeatedly sting you.

Is DIY Wasp Nest Removal Safe?

If you find a wasp nest around your home or business, be careful. No matter what species of wasp you’re dealing with, it has the potential to be dangerous. Wasps can become very aggressive when defending their nest. Handling a nest can lead to multiple stings. This can be life-threatening for anyone — not just people who are allergic.

If you’re nervous or don’t know what you’re doing, we believe it’s better to leave it to the professionals.

Great company! Very affordable! The staff is extremely friendly & knowledgeable. They really know what they are doing at Lookout. I had a terrible issue with bees getting in my metal roof and they were constantly at my front door & trying to get in the house. I called Lookout & they sent a guy out & he took care of my Bee problem. I have not had any more issues with the bees. I will be calling Lookout Pest Control for any other pest issues that may arise.

David W was awesome. Very nice and professional. He was able to knock down some old wasp nests.
