Wasps and hornets build nests in a wide range of spots around a West property — eaves, attic vents, ground burrows, dense shrubs — often going unnoticed until activity picks up. Wood-frame farmhouses and modest ranch homes dominate here, many sitting on crawl-space foundations that stay damp given the flat terrain.
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.
