Stinging Insect Control
Safe removal and treatment for bees, wasps, and other stinging insects nesting on your property.
Bees and wasps are both members of the order Hymenoptera but behave differently — bees build wax nests and live in large colonies, while wasps build paper-like nests from saliva and plant material. A nest in a high-traffic part of your yard or on your home is a real risk, since stings can cause swelling, hives, breathing difficulty, and in severe cases anaphylaxis. We identify the species and nest location before treating, since the right removal approach varies by nest type and location.

Our Process
- Inspection to identify the species and exact nest location
- Safe removal or treatment of the nest based on its location (exposed vs. inside a wall void or attic)
- Treatment of the surrounding area to discourage rebuilding
- Recommendations to reduce conditions that attract bees and wasps to your property
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I try to remove a nest myself?
We don't recommend it — disturbing a nest can provoke an aggressive response, and nests inside wall voids or attics need careful handling that's best left to a professional.
How can I tell if I have bees or wasps?
Bees have plump, often hairy bodies and build wax nests; wasps have smooth, shiny bodies with a defined waist and build paper-like nests from saliva and plant material.
What attracts bees and wasps to my yard?
Flowers close to the home, food left out during meals, and standing water all draw stinging insects — pulling those back from your home's exterior makes it less attractive to them.
