Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Bowers property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Dense historic brick rowhomes throughout the city, alongside larger single-family homes in the wealthier outer suburbs, most with basements.
Our process starts with correctly identifying the species, since honeybees, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets all require different handling. Aggressive stinging insects like yellowjackets and hornets get direct nest treatment; honeybee colonies get relocated by a beekeeper whenever possible, since they're a protected and beneficial species.
