Expert Bee and Wasp Control in the East Bay

Bees and wasps, including yellow jackets, paper wasps, and hornets, are prevalent pests in the East Bay. These insects can become highly aggressive, especially when their nests are disturbed. Typically, wasps build nests in sheltered areas like eaves, attics, and trees, making homes and yards prime targets. While they help control other insect populations, their presence near human activities can pose significant risks.

Hazards of Bees and Wasps

  • Intense Stings: Bees and wasps can sting multiple times, causing significant pain, swelling, and possible allergic reactions.
  • Allergic Responses: Stings can provoke severe allergic reactions in some individuals, including anaphylaxis, which necessitates immediate medical intervention.
  • Aggressiveness: Wasps, particularly yellow jackets, are highly aggressive and can attack in large numbers if their nest is threatened.
  • Structural Damage: Nests built inside walls, attics, or other structures can cause considerable damage over time.
  • Risks to Pets: Pets are also vulnerable to stings, which can cause pain and health issues.

Identifying a Bee or Wasp Infestation

  • Nest Locations: Nests are often found hanging from eaves, in trees, or hidden inside walls and attics.
  • High Activity Levels: A noticeable increase in bees or wasps around your property, especially near food sources or trash bins.
  • Buzzing Noises: Hearing buzzing, particularly near walls or attics, suggests a hidden nest.
  • Aggressive Behavior: Encountering aggressive bees or wasps, especially in late summer and early fall.
  • Frequent Stings: Experiencing multiple stings indicates a nearby nest.
