Wasp and Hornet Removal in Gresham, OR
Gresham's location at the edge of the Columbia River Gorge gives it beautiful summers and unfortunately ideal conditions for stinging insects. Warm, dry stretches from July through September push yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets to their most aggressive, especially near the wooded lots, creek corridors, and fruit trees common across neighborhoods from Rockwood to Gresham Butte.
Common calls we handle around Gresham include:
- Paper wasp nests under eaves, deck railings, and porch overhangs
- Yellow jacket nests in wall voids, rock walls, and old rodent burrows
- Bald-faced hornet nests in tall hedges, trees, and shed rafters
- Wasps swarming around outdoor dining areas and garbage cans
If you or a family member has had a reaction to stings, don't wait. Our team removes wasp and hornet nests throughout Gresham, Fairview, Troutdale, and the wider East County area, and we're happy to answer questions before we ever arrive.
Nothing derails a backyard barbecue in Gresham like a wasp nest above the patio or hornets swarming near the kids' swing set.

Our Wasp and Hornet Removal Process
- Inspection We locate every active nest on the property, identify whether you're dealing with paper wasps, yellow jackets, or bald-faced hornets, and assess access and risk.
- Targeted Treatment We apply treatments at dusk or after dark when colonies are back in the nest, using methods suited to the nest location and insect species.
- Nest Removal Once the colony is eliminated, we remove the nest and seal or advise on entry points so the space doesn't attract a new queen.
- Follow-Up We confirm the colony is gone, address any remaining activity, and share prevention tips tailored to your Gresham yard and home.
