Wasp, Hornet and Bee Nest Treatment

Bee and Wasp Control

What is nesting decides what happens next. Wasps and hornets are treated; a honey bee colony is a different conversation, and identification comes first.

Identification matters more here than for almost any other call, and not only for safety. Yellowjackets and hornets are aggressive in defence of a nest and treating them is normal pest work. Honey bees are a different case: they are valuable pollinators, a colony in a wall can involve a substantial amount of comb, and the right answer is often removal or referral rather than treatment. Carpenter bees are different again, boring into timber rather than building a paper nest.

Location changes urgency. A nest in a shrub at the end of a garden and a nest in the wall void beside a front door are the same insect and a very different problem. Nests near entrances, in eaves above walkways, under deck rails, or in ground cavities beside a path are the ones that lead to stings, and where anyone in the household has a known sting allergy that moves it up the priority list.

Do not seal an active entry hole. It is an understandable instinct and it commonly makes things much worse, because the colony will look for another way out and that route is often into the building rather than back outside. Call and describe the location and what the insects look like, and the technician will tell you what is involved.

Who it is for

Anyone with a nest near a door, eave, deck, or in a wall void, especially where children or allergies are involved..

What you get

• Species identified before treatment: wasps, hornets, honey bees and carpenter bees are handled differently
• Nest location assessed for risk, particularly near doors, walkways and play areas
• Sting allergies in the household are taken into account when scheduling
• Never seal an active entry hole: it drives the colony inward
