Hornets and yellow jackets are stinging insects that become active in Eureka and Humboldt County between early spring and the end of winter. Both are capable of stinging. Hornets and yellow jackets often build their nests near front porches and under eave overhangs, so it’s important to combat their presence early to decrease the likelihood of being stung.
We recommend you seek professional treatment when you notice hornets and yellow jackets near your property. It’s necessary to eradicate them before they can build their nests and attract other stinging insects. Different stinging insects require different removal techniques. Depending on what we find after our initial inspection, we may use any of the following removal methods.
Ground hornets, yellow jackets, and other wasps often make their nests underground, posing a challenge for those without proper training. Our treatment, which may involve injecting into the soil or nest hole, is highly effective. We flood the ground nest with treatment, allowing gravity to pull it down into the nest, killing any wasps or hornets inside. An insecticidal foam may also be used, providing additional reassurance.
Preventative services are the best approach to keep hornets and yellow jackets far away from your home. 707 Pest Solutions is able to help control your stinging insect population by applying treatment regularly to your home’s exterior. After treatment is applied, stinging insects won’t have the desire to land or build their nests on the treated surfaces. Not allowing them to build nests is the best way to prevent a hornet or wasp infestation from forming.

In the summer months, hornets and yellow jackets create their nests on trees, overhangs, and even within holes in the ground. In the colder months, these stinging insects seek warmer areas, such as your house, to build their nests. Their favorite areas include attics, decks, roof eaves, crawl spaces, and window sills. A few wasps or hornets can be expected outside the home, but look for the following signs if you suspect an infestation of stinging insects on your property in Eureka.
Spotting a hornet or wasp nest is an instant sign that you have a problem on your hands. Look near tree branches, overhangs, rafters, and ceilings for gray spheres. They may even have a paper-mache texture to them. Please do use caution when approaching these nests. Wasps are very territorial and may attack on sight. Keep in mind also that a mature wasp nest may contain several thousand wasps. This is just another reason why wasp removal is best left to professional exterminators.
You may find ground nests during the summer months across your yard. Often times, homeowners aren’t even aware of them until they walk or push their lawnmower over them.
