Newer homes, wooded hills and yellow jackets
The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey puts the median year built for Kalama homes at 1999, and 34% were built before 1980, compared with 44% across Washington. Newer homes are tighter, but they still have gaps where utility lines, dryer vents and garage doors meet the house, and homes next to fields or woods are the first to see mice when the weather turns.
Kalama’s yards are wasp country. In Interstate Pest Management records for new customers with Kalama billing addresses over the last five years, wasps and yellow jackets were on 16% of first visits, compared with 10% across our whole Kelso service area, and boxelder bugs on 22%.
When to expect it
August is the month. In Interstate Pest Management records for new Kalama customers over the last five years, August brought 32% of the year’s new wasp and yellow jacket calls. The PNW Insect Management Handbook says nests are most troublesome in August and September.

WSU says ground-nesting yellow jackets also build nests in wall voids or attics and can chew through into a room. If you find a nest, mark the spot, keep kids and pets away and give us a call. Our technicians treat nests with protective gear.

What our customers say
4.96 average from 8,394 Google reviews
“I was very happy with my service. Jeremy took care of a giant hornet nest in my eaves and then did a complete spray around the exterior of my house. No more bees and a noticeable decrease in insect activity around all my doors and windows.”
“We had a ground nest of very aggressive yellow jackets under a grass planting in our landscape area. Camrin went above and beyond in dealing with the nest and attacking yellow jackets! He completed the job even after being stung several times through the bee suit he was covered with. Dynamite and thorough job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 THANKS”
“Corbin was great! He even found a wasp nest under the eaves that I missed.”
