Bee, Wasp & Hornet Removal

Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets become a genuine safety problem when they nest close to where your family lives — over a doorway, under the eaves, in a shrub by the patio, or inside a wall void. Unlike a single bee, these insects can sting repeatedly, and they become aggressive when their nest is disturbed. For anyone with a sting allergy, a nest near the home is an emergency waiting to happen.

Trying to knock down a nest yourself is how most people get hurt. Our technicians have the protective equipment, products, and experience to remove nests safely and treat the insects at the source. When honey bees are involved, we take a responsible approach — recommending live removal/relocation where appropriate, because pollinators matter.

Common types we treat in South Florida

• Paper wasps. Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, railings, and in shrubs. Common around homes and treated by removing the nest and the wasps.
• Yellowjackets. Aggressive ground- or void-nesting wasps that can build very large colonies. Best handled by professionals due to their defensiveness.
• Hornets. Build large enclosed nests in trees, shrubs, and structures; can be highly defensive when disturbed.
• Honey bees. Beneficial pollinators. When a colony or swarm is in a problem location, we recommend responsible live removal/relocation whenever possible.

Signs you may have a problem

• Visible nests under eaves, in shrubs, or on structures
• Steady stinging-insect traffic to a single spot (a hidden nest)
• Insects entering and exiting a gap in a wall or the ground
• Increased aggressive activity near the home

Our approach

We locate the nest (including hidden void and ground nests), then remove and treat it using proper protective equipment, timing the work to minimize risk. We treat the area to discourage rebuilding and advise on prevention. For honey bees we take a pollinator-conscious approach, recommending live removal/relocation when it's a safe and viable option.
