Kyle did a detailed, exceptional job. Kyle used a duster and sprayed around the windows. The prior guy that came did not. HE only did basic inside and outside the house and lied about the shop when I mentioned the shop. He said they don't do shops and garages. Today I found out they do. Normally I would not recommended this company, but because of Kyle I would. However request Kyle or talk directly to owner and request in writing what is to be done.Posted on Google

Why Are Wasps Such a Problem in Spokane–Coeur d'Alene?
A few wasps flying around your yard may not seem like a big concern until you discover a nest under your deck, inside your siding, or near your front door. Wasps can quickly turn patios, playgrounds, gardens, and outdoor gathering spaces into places where your family no longer feels comfortable.
Eastern Washington and North Idaho provide ideal conditions for wasps. Warm, dry summers allow colonies to grow quickly, while the abundant parks, forests, gardens, fruit trees, and irrigation nearby provide reliable food and nesting opportunities. By late summer, natural food sources start to disappear, and wasps become much more dangerous.
DIY Wasp Removal Is Risky
Wasp removal can be dangerous, especially if the nest is hidden, large, elevated, or underground. Store-bought sprays may not reach the full nest, and disturbing a colony can trigger defensive behavior. Allergic reactions may be life-threatening and require prompt medical attention.
Yellow jackets, in particular, are likely to sting if you are close to the nest. They attack in groups and can sting multiple times. Other wasps are less aggressive and generally only sting when their nest is threatened. Either way, calling a professional is the safer choice.
Wasp Problems Get Worse Later
Wasp activity often starts quietly in spring, but as the season progresses, colonies grow, workers become more active, and the nest becomes easier to accidentally disturb. They also become more defensive in late summer and early fall as food becomes scarcer.
Professional treatment can help reduce the risk of stings and recurring activity near high-traffic areas.
Common Wasps Found in the Inland Northwest
Several species of stinging insects are commonly found throughout Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Correct identification is important because each species nests differently and may require a different treatment approach. Common types of wasps to look out for include:
- Yellow Jackets are highly aggressive and territorial. They are frequently found in yards, gardens, or near foundations. They can even nest underground or in wall voids.
- Bald-Faced Hornets are highly defensive of their nests and can become dangerous if disturbed. They build large, enclosed aerial nests in trees, sheds, or pergolas.
- Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs of our homes. They are less aggressive than hornets or yellow jackets, but will still sting if threatened.
- Mud Daubers are solitary wasps that build unsightly mud nests around garages, sheds, and covered outdoor areas. They are less aggressive but still a nuisance.
The Croach® Wasp Control Process
Croach® Pest Control takes a strategic and comprehensive approach to wasp control to ensure your home remains pest-free.
Step 1: In-Depth Inspection & Custom Plan
Our licensed technicians begin by examining your property in detail, locating nests, identifying species, and assessing risk areas around your home.
Step 2: Wasp Treatments & Nest Removal
We apply professional-grade treatments directly to the nest, ensuring complete colony eradication. Our treatment eliminates wasps quickly while minimizing risk to your family and pets. After treatment, we remove and dispose of hanging nests to prevent wasps from returning.
Step 3: Exclusion
Because wasps tend to return to familiar nesting sites, we take proactive steps to block off access points before the next nesting season.
Step 4: Long-Term Prevention
To get rid of wasps for good, our scheduled pest control services help disrupt breeding cycles and eliminate food sources that attract wasps, like ants, spiders, and other insects.
Learn All About Wasp Control
The more you know about stinging insects, the better you can keep them out of your home. Here are some common questions our customers in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene ask about our wasp control services:
Yellow jackets are the most common stinging insect homeowners encounter throughout the Inland Northwest, followed by paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and mud daubers.
As colonies reach their largest size and natural food sources decline, yellowjackets become more aggressive while searching for sugary foods, ripe fruit, meat, pet food, and garbage.
Yes. Yellow jackets and other wasps frequently build nests inside wall voids, crawl spaces, attics, and other hidden structural cavities where they're protected from the weather.
Many homeowners try sprays or knockdown methods, but this can be dangerous.
Wasps will defend the nests aggressively, attack in groups, and rebuild if the colony isn't fully eliminated. Trying to remove a nest on your own often means making the situation worse.
Professional removal ensures the nest is handled safely and effectively.
