Bee, Wasp & Hornet Removal for California homes and businesses

Getting bee, wasp & hornet removal done properly in California means removal and sealing in the same job. Wasp, hornet and yellowjacket nests removed, and honey bee colonies relocated rather than destroyed. Doing only the first half is why so many people call us second.

Newer California construction has the opposite issue: fewer gaps, but the ones that exist are used hard. A single unscreened gable vent will be the route for years if nothing closes it.

California ranges from roof rats and skunks in coastal suburbs to ground squirrels and rattlesnakes inland, with bat colonies common in older tile and Spanish-style roofs.

Call (276) 319-2391 or request an inspection and we will book a window that works.

What California customers say

★★★★★

Skunk under the deck. Barrier trenched in, den cleared, and the lawn grub treatment stopped the digging that was attracting them.

Mice in the pantry. They found the gap behind the dishwasher line that everyone else missed.

Bee, Wasp & Hornet Removal in California: frequently asked questions

Do you kill honey bees?
No. Honey bee colonies are removed live and relocated to a keeper wherever it is practical. Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are treated rather than relocated.
There is buzzing inside my wall. What now?
That usually means a colony in the void. It needs opening, the comb and honey removing, and the cavity cleaning, because leftover honey attracts ants, roaches and other bees later.
Can you treat a ground nest in California?
Yes. Yellowjacket ground nests are treated at the entrance, usually at dusk when the colony is inside.
How fast can you come out?
Stinging insect calls near doorways, play areas or anyone with an allergy are prioritised. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will tell you the soonest window.
Will they come back next year?
Wasps do not reuse an old nest, but they do reuse a good location. Proofing the eave or void is what prevents a repeat.
What does wasp nest removal cost in California?
Driven by nest height, access and whether it is inside a wall void. Quoted flat before work starts.
Can you tell me what it is over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down from when the noise happens and what it sounds like. But we do not quote blind, because treating a flying squirrel as a grey squirrel wastes your money.
How much does wildlife removal cost in California?
It depends on the species, the entry points and the cleanup. Every California quote is flat and given in writing after inspection. Single-animal removals sit at the low end; full exclusions and attic restorations are quoted after we see the roof line.
