Proven Treatment Solutions for Wasp & Bee Infestations

We use protective equipment and targeted treatments to remove active colonies and address continued activity.

Why Professional Treatment Works

Attempting to remove nests yourself risks multiple stings, allergic reactions, and incomplete removal. Disturbed nests can become even more dangerous.

We treat the entire nest, including the queen, using protective equipment and methods suited to the species and nest location.

Our Nest Removal Process

Identification, targeted treatment, and prevention:

  • Inspection and Identification: We identify the wasp or bee species and locate all active nests on your property, including hidden or difficult-to-access locations.
  • Colony Treatment: Using protective equipment and targeted techniques, we treat the nest and colony to address continued activity.
  • Nest Removal: After treatment, we carefully remove the nest to help reduce the likelihood of other insects using the structure and pheromone markers remaining.
  • Prevention and Advice: We recommend preventive measures and sealing entry points to reduce the likelihood of future wasp nesting on your property.

What our service includes:

  • Protective Methods: We use professional-grade treatments and protective equipment while taking care around your family and pets.
  • Whole-Colony Control: We target entire colonies at the source, not just individual insects, as part of efforts to reduce nearby nesting activity.
  • Year-Round Protection: Our preventive programs can help reduce stinging insect attraction to your property and identify new nests while they are small.

If stinging insects return within our warranty period, we’ll treat the area again at no additional cost.

Keep Your Property Safe With Proactive Prevention

Eliminating attractants and sealing entry points can significantly reduce bee and wasp activity around your home or business.

Identifying Common Wasps in Sumner County & Westmoreland

Sumner County and the surrounding areas are home to several wasp species, each with different nesting habits and aggression levels. Proper identification helps us choose the safest and most effective removal strategy.

QUICK REFERENCE
Common Wasp Profiles
Nesting habits and defensive behavior can vary by species.
Paper Wasps
Brown or orange wasps that build open, umbrella-shaped nests from papery material. They are generally less likely to sting unless their nest is directly threatened.
Yellow Jackets
Bright yellow and black striped wasps that build enclosed nests in the ground, under eaves, or in cavities. They are highly defensive, are attracted to picnics and other food sources, and can sting multiple times.
Mud Daubers
Solitary, dark blue or black wasps that build mud tube nests on structures. They are less defensive than paper wasps or yellow jackets but can still sting.
Bald-Faced Hornets
Black and white striped insects, actually wasps, not true hornets, that build large, gray, football-shaped nests. They vigorously defend their nests.
Cicada Killers
Large wasps with reddish-orange and black coloring that burrow in sandy soil and hunt cicadas. They are generally docile unless their burrow is disturbed.
European Hornets
Large, reddish-brown and yellow social wasps that typically nest in protected cavities. They may attack anything they perceive as a threat to their nest.

Essential Info About Wasp Behavior

  • Nesting Sites: Eaves, soffits, ground, shrubs, trees, under decks, or in cavities
  • Peak Activity: Late spring through early fall; colonies grow larger as summer progresses
  • Aggression: Rises sharply near nests and food sources, especially during late summer
  • Multiple Stings: Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly without dying

Common Nesting Sites

  • Roof eaves and soffits
  • Porch ceilings and overhangs
  • Under decks and railings
  • Tree branches and shrubs
  • Ground burrows and mounds
  • Attic vents and openings

High Risk Times

  • Late summer (August through September)
  • Picnics and outdoor gatherings
  • Near food and garbage areas
  • Early morning and dusk activity
  • Defending expanding nests
  • Searching for winter shelter

Wasp stings can cause severe allergic reactions, especially in children and pets. Some people are highly allergic and experience anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.
