Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Micanopy property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer construction, with more traditional Southern-style housing than the concrete-block homes further south.
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.
