Bee Control Services

Warm weather brings sunshine, blooming flowers... and all types of bees are out! While some pollinators like bumblebees are welcome visitors, carpenter bees, wasps, and hornets can become a nuisance and even pose safety hazards. Here at Advanced Pest Services, we offer expert bee removal services to keep your property sting-free.

Carpenter Bees:

These large, black and yellow bees are often mistaken for bumblebees, but they're actually wood-boring insects. While they don't sting aggressively, their burrowing activity can damage decks, siding, and other wooden structures. Signs of carpenter bee infestation include dime-sized holes and sawdust around them.

Bald-faced Hornets:

These aggressive wasps build large, papery nests in trees, eaves, or under decks. They readily sting in defense of their nest, and their stings are particularly painful. Bald-faced hornets are beneficial predators of other insects, but their presence can be intimidating and dangerous near outdoor living spaces.

Yellowjackets:

These social wasps build underground nests or nests in sheltered areas like wall voids or attics. Yellowjackets are attracted to sweet drinks and food scraps, and they can become aggressive pests around picnics and outdoor dining areas. Their stings are painful and can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Cicada Killer Wasps:

These large, solitary wasps are beneficial predators of cicadas, but their intimidating size and loud buzzing can be alarming. Cicada killers nest in the ground and don't typically sting unless provoked, but it's still best to keep them away from high-traffic areas.

Japanese Hornets:

These invasive hornets are not yet widespread in the US, but they are a serious concern where established. Japanese hornets are aggressive predators that can inflict multiple painful stings and threaten honeybee populations.

How you can Protect Your Property:

If you suspect a bee infestation on your property, don't attempt removal yourself. Our trained technicians can safely identify the insect species, locate the nest, and remove it effectively. We also offer preventative measures to deter future infestations, such as:

• Regularly inspecting your property for nests.
• Sealing up potential nesting sites around your home.
• Keeping outdoor eating areas clean and free of food debris.

Don't let stinging insects take over your outdoor enjoyment. Contact Advanced Pest Services today for a consultation and professional removal of carpenter bees, wasps, and hornets.
