Why Wasps & Hornets Are a Problem in Memphis

Memphis’s climate makes stinging insects especially active from spring through early fall. These pests can:


  • Threaten safety – Wasps and hornets sting repeatedly, unlike honeybees.
  • Trigger allergies – Stings can cause severe reactions requiring medical attention.
  • Invade homes & businesses – Nests built near doors, patios, or commercial entrances create hazards for families and customers.
  • Damage property – Some species chew through wood fibers to build nests.


DIY nest removal is extremely risky. Professional removal ensures safety and long-term prevention.

Types of Wasps and Hornets in Memphis

We handle all common stinging insects in Memphis and Shelby County:

paper wasps

PAPER WASPS

Build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and porches.

yellowjackets

YELLOWJACKETS

Aggressive wasps that often nest in the ground or wall voids.

bald-faced hornets

BALD-FACED HORNETS

Large black-and-white hornets that create football-sized nests in trees and shrubs.

mud daubers

MUD DAUBERS

Solitary wasps that build mud nests on walls and ceilings (less aggressive but still a nuisance).

Identifying the species is important because treatment methods vary. Wasps and hornets are

much more dangerous than a mosquito infestation.

FAQs – Wasp & Hornet Removal in Memphis

  • How much does wasp or hornet nest removal cost in Memphis?

    Most Memphis homes benefit from quarterly pest control treatments. However, homes with high pest activity may require monthly or seasonal service, especially in summer.


  • Can I remove a wasp nest myself?

    Yes. We use EPA-approved products and also offer organic, eco-friendly options designed to be safe for families and pets.

  • Do wasps come back after nest removal?

    Costs vary depending on the size of your home and type of pests. On average, Memphis homeowners pay between $40–$80 per month for preventive pest control.


  • Are treatments safe for children and pets?

     Termites, ants, roaches, mosquitoes, and rodents are the most common. Bed bugs and fleas are also frequently reported.

  • Do you offer emergency wasp or hornet removal?

    Yes—especially if you live in an older home or are buying/selling property. Termites often cause damage before you see visible signs.
