Protect your eaves, gables, and outdoor spaces from dangerous hornet nests. Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup.
What's Included
Spud Pest eliminates local hornets by targeting high aerial nests and destroying active queens before colonies expand. Hot summer weather, abundant forest prey, and mature tree canopies drive heavy hornet activity across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, making high rooflines, soffits, and backyard trees hazardous for homeowners. Our protection plans establish an effective exterior defense that neutralizes existing paper nests, stops structural entry, and keeps outdoor spaces safe year round.
Every plan includes high reach roofline inspections, specialized nest knockdowns, micro encapsulated barrier sprays, and preventive residual applications in elevated structural overhangs. You get full defense against common regional species like bald faced hornets and European hornets, backed by total warranty protection and unlimited free re-treatments whenever pests return between regular service visits.
How it works
Every visit follows a simple, proven process to clear active hornet nests, treat high reach gables, and prevent new queens from building on your home:
Thorough Exterior Nest Inspection
We examine upper rooflines, soffits, chimney corners, and nearby tree branches to identify active nests, potential nesting areas, and structural entry points.
Professional Nest Elimination
Using specialized equipment, our technicians apply targeted treatments directly to active nests and safely remove accessible nesting materials once the insects are inactive.
Preventive Roofline Protection
We apply long lasting micro encapsulated treatments around eaves, soffits, and gable vents to help discourage hornets from establishing new nests.
Ongoing Hornet Prevention
With regularly scheduled service visits, we clear away new nesting attempts and refresh protective treatments to help keep your home protected throughout the year.
We’ll text you when your technician is on the way, so you always know we’re coming.

Good to know
Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup. Every visit includes a full roofline and soffit inspection, physical nest removal, high reach barrier applications, and entry threshold treatments. You get complete coverage, total warranty protection, and free re-treatments between regular visits.
Bald faced hornets build large, fully enclosed, grey paper nests shaped like footballs, while paper wasps build small, open, umbrella shaped combs. Bald faced hornets are also much larger, highly defensive, and significantly more aggressive when their nest area is approached.
Elevated eaves, soffits, and high tree branches offer protection from natural ground predators, wind, and rain. High structural overhangs also catch rising warm air from the home, creating an ideal temperature environment for expanding colonies during late summer.
No, spraying a hornet nest with water will not destroy the thick paper shell and will provoke hundreds of aggressive hornets to swarm and attack. Hornets release alarm pheromones when threatened, leading to multiple painful stings for anyone nearby.
Yes, our products are applied specifically along high rooflines, upper soffits, and exterior structural entry points away from ground level family areas. Once the liquid application fully dries (typically within 30 to 60 minutes), children and pets can safely return to using the yard and patio.
