I had a yellow jacket incursion in my second-floor bedroom back in August 2025. I called around and finally found Rescue 1, where I spoke with Zach. He clearly explained the process and provided the cost upfront. Even though this was an emergency request, their pricing was noticeably lower than what I was quoted elsewhere. Zach came out the next day and took care of the nest. He also applied a preventive treatment on the exterior to discourage further activity. A heads-up for anyone dealing with this: most pest control companies won't open up your drywall to remove the nest. That was a common response I got from everyone I called, so set your expectations accordingly. Overall, I highly recommend Rescue 1 for their professionalism, punctuality, and quick response time.
