Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a Washington Navy Yard property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Dense brick rowhouses and older masonry construction dominate, many built before 1950 with shared walls, aging plumbing, and basements prone to moisture.
For wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets, we locate the nest, confirm the species, and apply a targeted treatment that eliminates the colony with minimal disruption to the area around it. Honeybee colonies are handled differently — since they're protected pollinators, our approach is relocation rather than extermination whenever a colony can be safely removed intact.
