Bee, Wasp & Hornet Control - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you kill honey bees or relocate them?
Honey bees are critical pollinators, so we relocate live colonies whenever it's safe and feasible rather than exterminating them. Aggressive wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are removed.
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?
We don't recommend it. Disturbing a nest can trigger dozens of stings, especially from yellow jackets and hornets. Professional removal with protective gear is far safer, particularly for anyone allergic.
What's the difference between wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets?
Paper wasps are slender with dangling legs and open umbrella-shaped nests under eaves; yellow jackets are compact, very aggressive, and often nest in the ground or wall voids; hornets are larger with big enclosed paper nests. Yellow jackets and hornets are the most defensive and cause most sting incidents - which is why DIY removal is risky.
How do you keep the nest from coming back?
After removal we treat and seal the spot so a new colony doesn't rebuild in the same eave, soffit, or void, and we advise on sealing the gaps that attracted them. For recurring problem areas, ongoing exterior service keeps them from re-nesting.
