Thorough inspection to locate all active wasp and hornet nests on the property, including hard-to-reach areas like eaves, attics, and underground.

Identification of the specific species of wasp or hornet (e.g., yellow jackets, paper wasps, hornets) to determine the most effective and safest removal method.

Application of targeted insecticides or dusts directly into the nest entrance to neutralize the colony, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding areas.

Safe and complete physical removal of the treated nest once activity has ceased, preventing future re-infestation at the same site.

Recommendations for preventative measures to deter future nesting, such as sealing entry points and eliminating attractants around the property.

Follow-up visit if necessary to ensure complete eradication and address any lingering activity, particularly for aggressive species common in Columbia District's year-round pest pressure.

The size and accessibility of the nest, as larger or harder-to-reach nests (e.g., in high eaves of a Craftsman bungalow or deep within a canyon-rim property in Clairemont) require more time and specialized equipment.

The specific species of wasp or hornet, as more aggressive species like yellow jackets may require more extensive safety precautions and treatment protocols.

The number of nests found on the property, as multiple infestations will increase the overall service cost.

The need for specialized equipment, such as ladders for high nests or protective gear for aggressive infestations, which can vary based on the property type from beach cottages to master-planned HOA communities.
