  • Understanding Yellow Jackets: Your Southern Nevada Pest Control Guide - Yellow Jackets are social insects that live in nests or colonies. Identified by their yellow and black bodies.

    “I had a different pest company for years that would come at random times ( monthly for 3 months then nothing for 4 then Every other month. On what they claimed was a yearly cycle) year/ month/ day always changed prices( 150-600) and was always more expensive the truckee. They killed 3 young fruit trees by intentionally peeling off the bark and filming it.
    Plus I still had pests. It was nightmare.
    Since switching to Truckee over a year ago. Fewer bugs (so better quality) always comes on the chosen schedule (2 months) always same price ( easy to budget/predict) and always checks in to see if I am having any special concerns 1-2 days before arriving. I wish I would have found them in the beginning would have saved thousands and had better service and communication they always answer calls emails and texts. My plants like them. If you are in there service area and want someone to come do the work and do it well and reliably then Truckee pest is where to go.”

Common Stinging Insects Found in Residential Areas

Bees, wasps, and hornets are known as stinging insects. This means that have stingers that they use to attack prey and defend themselves. Mostly active in summer and fall months, these pests are known to create nesting sites under eaves, on ceiling beams in attics, garages, sheds, and under porches. Some stinging insects can build their nests underground. While bees sting only once (because their stinger breaks off and they die following an attack), wasps and hornets can sting repeatedly. While they play beneficial roles in the ecosystem, you don’t want them nesting near or around your home because they can of their tendency to sting and cause allergic reactions.
