Are Wasps and Bees Taking
Over Your Yard?
Wasp and bee activity can turn a pleasant yard into a dangerous hazard. At EnviroCon Pest Control, our services are designed to quickly restore safety to your outdoor spaces.
We begin with a detailed inspection to locate active nests and high-traffic areas. Then, we apply targeted treatments for safe, rapid nest removal and seal entry points to prevent future nesting. With our professional exclusion and ongoing defense, your family can safely enjoy time outside without the constant threat of painful stings.
What Causes Wasp & Bee Infestations?
Stinging insects are drawn to sheltered nesting sites and areas with reliable food sources, such as flowering plants, uncovered trash, or spilled food. They often build nests in quiet, protected areas like eaves, rooflines, soffits, and wall voids. Without intervention, aggressive colonies can grow quickly and pose a serious threat to anyone who uses your yard.
Ongoing Prevention
The key to long-term stinging insect control is safe nest removal and pairing prevention with professional treatments. Homeowners can help by keeping outdoor trash covered, avoiding leaving food outdoors, and inspecting eaves for new nests in the spring. For continuous relief, our team provides recurring treatments, including sealing and treating common entry points around your home’s exterior to keep these pests under control season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are wasps suddenly swarming my garbage cans and back patio?
Wasps become more aggressive around food in late summer because their dietary needs change.
Earlier in the season, wasps hunt insects for protein to feed developing larvae. By late summer and early fall, colonies are larger and adult wasps seek out sugary foods for energy. This is why they are attracted to spilled drinks, soda cans, fruit, and hummingbird feeders.
If wasp activity increases around your yard, professional removal helps reduce colony size and lower the risk of stings.
Is It Safe to Spray a Wasp Nest Yourself?
No. Attempting to spray a wasp nest yourself can be dangerous and often does not eliminate the colony.
Over-the-counter sprays may kill visible wasps, but they rarely reach the entire nest or the reproductive members inside. Disturbing a nest can also cause defensive behavior, increasing the risk of stings.
If a nest is located inside a wall void or structural cavity, improper treatment may push wasps deeper into the structure. Professional removal ensures the colony is addressed safely and thoroughly.
What’s the difference between a swarm and a nest, and which one is dangerous
A swarm is when the queen bee leaves her colony with workers, usually because the hive is too crowded.
During this time, they are most vulnerable and non-aggressive because they are focused on keeping the queen safe and finding a new location. They are only defending a hive (a nest) where the queen and honey are stored. If you see aggressive bugs going in and out of a crack in your house, that’s a nest that needs immediate stinging insect removal.
Why Do Wasps Build Nests Along Rooflines and Eaves?
How can I tell the difference between a Bee and a Wasp (like a Yellowjacket)?
Honey bees and wasps look different and behave differently.
Honey bees have thicker, fuzzy bodies and are typically golden-brown in color. They can sting only once because their barbed stinger becomes lodged and is left behind. Bees are primarily pollinators and are less aggressive unless their hive is threatened.
Wasps, including yellowjackets and paper wasps, have smooth bodies, narrow waists, and brighter yellow or black markings. They can sting multiple times because their stingers are not barbed. Wasps are generally more defensive, especially near their nests.
Correct identification helps determine the appropriate response and level of risk.
