Photo first, visible nests only
Visible Wasp Nest Help

We can photo-check: paper wasps, visible/manageable yellow jacket nests, visible/manageable hornet nests, and mystery wasps.
Hard no: underground nests, wall nests, attic nests, vents, hidden nests, nests inside structures, or super aggressive colonies.
What we can handle
The nest has to be outside, visible, reachable, and small/manageable. If it looks too dangerous, we say no and tell you to call a licensed pest professional.
Paper wasps
Open comb nests on eaves, roof edges, porches, sheds, fences, or other visible outside spots.
Visible jackets
Only if the nest is visible outside, manageable from photos, and not underground, in a wall, or entering a hidden space.
Visible hornets
Visible outside nests can be reviewed from photos. Hidden, structural, or super aggressive nests get declined.
Real wasp suit
The Wasp Family has protective wasp gear for approved visible jobs, so photo review can consider more than tiny nests.
Outside only
Roof edges, eaves, porch corners, sheds, fences, patio covers, and other visible exterior spots.
Baggable only
If the nest cannot be safely reached or bagged, it is not a Wasp Family job.
Photo approved
No surprise visits. We look at the picture first and decide if it fits.
Safety call
If it feels too risky, hidden, or super active, we will decline and recommend a pro.
Mystery wasp check
Send the photo. We figure it out.
If you do not know what kind of wasp it is, that is okay. Send a clear photo of the nest and where the insects are going. We will try to identify it and explain if it is accepted or declined.
- Send a close photo and a farther-back photo.
- Show if the insects are sitting on a visible nest or entering a hole.
- Tell us the height, size, and where it is attached.
Still declined
No underground nests, wall cracks, attic nests, vents, ceiling/roof cavities, hidden nests, or anything going inside the structure.

The wasp mark is the site guide now.
When visitors see the sharp wasp badge, it points them back to the same rule: send photos first, check the species, and only book visible outside nests.

Wasp science
Know what you are looking at.
Paper wasps usually have visible open comb. Yellow jackets are often more hidden and defensive. Hornets can build covered nests. Mystery wasps need a photo check before we say yes.

You send a clear picture of the nest and the wasps.
ID
We check if it looks like paper wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, or mystery wasps.
Safety
If it is hidden, underground, too aggressive, or structural, we decline it.
Plan
If accepted, we choose Bronze, Premium Plus, or Premium Advanced Plus.

Higher levels cost more because they take more time, cleanup, and waiting. Final price depends on species, size, activity, height, and visibility.
