Identifying Stinging Pests in Bothell
Knowing what you are dealing with is the first step toward safe and effective control. The Pacific Northwest is home to a variety of stinging insects, each with different behaviors and levels of aggression. Our experienced team can accurately identify your pest problem and implement the correct solution.
Here are some common stinging pests we find in the Bothell area:
- Yellow Jackets: These highly aggressive wasps often build large nests underground, in wall voids, or in attics. They are easily agitated and can sting repeatedly, making them a significant threat, especially in late summer.
- Paper Wasps: Recognizable by their open, umbrella-shaped nests, paper wasps typically build under eaves, in railings, and behind shutters. While less aggressive than yellow jackets, they will sting fiercely to defend their nest.
- Hornets: Bald-faced hornets, a type of large yellow jacket, build the iconic large, gray, paper-like nests you might see hanging from a tree branch or the side of a home. They are extremely protective of their colony.
- Honeybees & Bumblebees: As vital pollinators, these bees are beneficial to our ecosystem. We take great care to correctly identify them and will always recommend the most environmentally responsible solutions.
Our focus is on removing the threat to your family while being mindful of our local environment.

The Dangers of DIY Wasp Nest Removal
Facing an active wasp nest can be intimidating, and trying to handle it yourself is extremely dangerous. Store-bought sprays are often ineffective on large or hidden nests and can agitate the colony, provoking a swarm of hundreds of angry wasps that will attack and sting repeatedly.
For individuals with allergies, a single sting can be a life-threatening medical emergency. It is a risk that is never worth taking. Even for those without allergies, multiple stings are intensely painful and can cause significant reactions, sending you to the emergency room.
Professional technicians have the proper protective equipment, specialized tools, and commercial-grade products to handle the job safely and effectively. They can treat nests inside walls or underground that are impossible to reach with a can of spray, ensuring the entire colony is eliminated.

FAQs About Bee & Wasp Control in Bothell
Is it safe for me to just spray a wasp nest myself?
We strongly advise against it. DIY sprays can be ineffective and can trigger an aggressive defensive response from the colony, leading to a swarm and multiple stings. Professionals have the protective gear and proper materials to handle the nest safely and effectively without putting you or your family at risk.
What is the difference between bees and wasps?
Generally, bees like honeybees and bumblebees appear fuzzy or hairy and are vital pollinators. Wasps, like yellow jackets and paper wasps, typically have smooth, slender bodies with narrow waists. Correct identification is key, as we prioritize protecting beneficial bees whenever possible.
What should I do with the nest after it has been treated?
Once a nest is no longer active, it will not be reused by the same colony. If the nest is in an accessible location, we can remove it for you after the treatment is complete. For nests inside wall voids, we will seal the entry point to prevent other pests from moving in.
How can I prevent wasps from building nests on my home?
The best prevention is to make your home less inviting. This includes sealing cracks in siding, repairing torn window screens, and ensuring vents are properly covered. We can provide personalized recommendations during our service visit to help you keep your home protected in the future.
