Wasp & Hornet Control in Washington

Wasps and hornets nesting near your doors, deck, or roof line are more than a nuisance. They can make everyday outdoor space unusable. Sunrise Pest and Turf Management provides wasp control, hornet control, and yellowjacket control for homes and businesses across Bremerton, Kitsap County, and nearby Washington communities.

Our technicians treat the nest directly with a chemical product and leave the nest in place. We do not remove it. Returning workers contact the treatment, and we monitor results over about seven to ten days. This approach is safer and more effective than most do it yourself sprays on established colonies.

Not sure which insect you are seeing? Washington wasps most often include yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets (the black and white wasp people call a black wasp). Read our guide to wasps in Washington state for types of wasps, nest clues, and when to call.

Our Wasp & Hornet Control Treatment Process

Direct Treatment

When we arrive, you'll show our techs where the nest is, and we'll apply a highly effective treatment directly to it to eliminate any wasps and hornets inside.

Nest Remains in Place

We leave the nest in place and do not remove it. Colonies have workers and foragers outside the nest, so leaving it allows them to return and come into contact with the chemical treatment.

Any Size, Any Location

As long as it's safe, our skilled technicians can handle hornet and wasp nests of any size in walls, attics, crawl spaces, in the ground, or hanging from your home!

Results Timeline

You should expect to see results after 7-10 days. You may notice a spike in activity immediately following treatment, but within 7-10 days, there should be no more activity.
