Stinging insect activity in Lane typically peaks as colonies grow through the warmer months, and a small nest in spring can become a serious hazard by late summer if left alone.
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.
