Nuisance Bee Removal

People call us for honeybees, but half the "bees" buzzing around a porch in late summer are wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets — and those are a completely different job. Honeybees are pollinators worth saving, so we relocate them alive. Wasps and hornets are aggressive, they sting again and again, and a nest by your door or in the kids' play area is a real hazard — so we take it down and clear them out.

We handle paper wasp nests under eaves and soffits, bald-faced hornet nests in trees and on walls, and the underground yellow jacket nests that turn a lawn mow into an ambush. We remove the nest itself — not just hit it with a can of spray and walk away — and treat the area so the survivors don't rebuild in the same spot. For nests inside wall voids or soffits we find the entry, clear the colony, and show you how to seal it so next season's queen doesn't move back in.

“Honeybees get relocated. Wasps and hornets get removed — there's a difference, and we do both.”
