Our Wasp & Hornet Control Service
Safe, Professional Wasp Nest Removal by Dade Pest Solutions
Safety Warning: Do not attempt to remove wasp or hornet nests yourself. These insects are highly aggressive when disturbed and can sting multiple times. Call us for safe, professional removal.
Wasps and hornets are among the most aggressive stinging insects, and their nests near entryways, play areas, and outdoor living spaces pose a real danger to your family. South Florida's warm climate allows multiple wasp species to thrive year-round. Dade Pest Solutions provides safe, professional wasp and hornet nest removal that eliminates the colony and prevents re-infestation. We serve Homestead, Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, South Miami, Coral Gables, and Kendall — backed by 164+ five-star reviews from homeowners across Miami-Dade County.
Our 5-Step Wasp Control Process
- Safe Inspection & Identification: Our licensed technicians safely identify wasp and hornet species, nest locations, and the extent of the infestation — including nests hidden in walls, attics, and underground.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Targeted treatment plans based on species, nest location, and proximity to high-traffic areas. We select the safest and most effective approach for each situation.
- Safe Nest Removal: Using appropriate protective equipment and EPA-registered products, we eliminate the colony and remove the nest to prevent re-infestation.
- Entry Point Sealing: We seal gaps, cracks, and other entry points that wasps and hornets use to build nests inside walls and structures.
- Preventative Follow-Up: RPP customers receive quarterly exterior treatments that deter wasps and hornets from establishing new nests on your property.
Wasp & Hornet Species We Treat in South Florida
- Yellow Jacket: Aggressive wasps that nest underground or in wall voids. They defend their nests vigorously and can sting multiple times. Most dangerous in late summer.
- Paper Wasp: Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in garages, and on outdoor furniture. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting when threatened.
- Bald-Faced Hornet: Large, black-and-white hornets that build large, enclosed paper nests in trees and on structures. Highly aggressive when disturbed.
- Mud Dauber: Solitary wasps that build mud tube nests on walls and under eaves. Generally non-aggressive but their nests are unsightly and attract spiders.
- Cicada Killer: Large, intimidating wasps that burrow in the ground. Males are territorial but cannot sting; females rarely sting unless handled.
Why Choose Dade Pest Solutions for Wasp Control

Frequently Asked Questions
- How dangerous are wasp and hornet stings?
- For most people, wasp stings cause pain, swelling, and redness. However, for people with allergies, a single sting can trigger anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction. If you or a family member is allergic to stings, do not attempt to remove the nest yourself. Call us immediately.
- Can I remove a wasp nest myself?
- We strongly advise against DIY wasp nest removal, especially for yellow jackets and hornets. These species are highly aggressive and will attack in large numbers when their nest is disturbed. Our technicians use proper protective equipment and safe removal protocols.
- When is the best time to treat a wasp nest?
- Early morning or late evening when wasps are less active and most colony members are inside the nest. Our technicians are trained to treat nests at the optimal time for safety and effectiveness.
- Will wasps come back after treatment?
- After nest removal and treatment, wasps typically do not return to the same location. However, new queens may establish new nests nearby the following season. RPP customers receive quarterly treatments that deter new nest establishment.
