Wasp Control Services
Don’t let wasps take over your outdoor spaces. As your trusted wasp exterminator in the Portland metro area, Prime Pest Solutions provides safe and effective wasp nest removal with treatments designed to eliminate the threat.
Our experienced technicians identify the wasp species, locate all nesting sites, and apply targeted treatments that remove nests safely and help prevent future problems.
Why Professional Wasp Control Matters
Wasps are protective of their nests and will aggressively defend them if they feel threatened. Attempting to remove a wasp nest without proper training and equipment can result in multiple painful stings—especially dangerous for those with allergies.
DIY wasp control methods often make the problem worse. Spraying a nest with store-bought products can agitate wasps without eliminating the colony, leading to increased aggression. Some nests are also hidden in wall voids or underground, making them impossible to treat without professional expertise.
Our technicians use protective equipment and specialized products to safely eliminate wasp nests. We treat the source of the problem so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces without fear of stings.
Our Wasp Control Process
We follow a proven approach to eliminate wasp nests and prevent their return.
1. Inspection
We thoroughly inspect your property to identify all wasp nests, determine the species, and assess the level of activity. Different wasp species require different treatment approaches for safe and effective control.
2. Treatment
Using protective equipment and professional-grade products, we safely treat and remove wasp nests from your property. Our methods eliminate the entire colony, not just the visible workers.
3. Prevention
We identify conditions that attract wasps and recommend steps to make your property less appealing to future colonies. Regular quarterly pest control helps catch new nests early.
Safe Wasp Nest Removal
Wasp nest removal requires careful planning and the right equipment. Our technicians assess each situation to determine the safest and most effective approach.
For active nests, we typically treat during early morning or evening when wasps are less active and most workers have returned to the nest. This ensures we eliminate the entire colony rather than just a portion of it.
After treatment, we remove the nest to prevent other insects from being attracted to it and to give you peace of mind that the problem is fully resolved.
Wasp Species We Treat
We handle all common wasp species found in Oregon, each requiring specific treatment approaches.
Paper Wasps
Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in doorframes, and on porch ceilings. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting to defend their nest.
Yellow Jackets
Nest underground or in wall voids. Highly aggressive, especially in late summer. Attracted to food and drinks at outdoor gatherings, making them particularly problematic.
Mud Daubers
Build distinctive tube-shaped mud nests on walls and ceilings. Generally docile and rarely sting, but their nests can be unsightly and may attract other pests.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Prepare for Your Inspection
Before our technician arrives, note where you’ve seen wasp activity. If you’ve spotted a nest, try to observe it from a safe distance to track where wasps are entering and exiting.
Keep children and pets away from known nest areas. Don’t attempt to remove or treat the nest yourself—this can agitate the wasps and make our job more difficult.
Our inspection is thorough. We’ll check common nesting sites including eaves, soffits, attic vents, sheds, play equipment, and any holes in the ground near your home.
