Expert Wasp & Bee Removal in Philadelphia

Wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, and carpenter bees are common throughout Philadelphia from spring through fall. Nests are frequently built in soffits, eaves, wall voids, ground burrows, and under decks — creating stinging insect hazards near doorways, patios, and high-traffic areas. Yellowjackets become particularly aggressive in late summer and early fall as colonies reach peak size.

Our approach prioritizes identification first: honeybees and some native bee species are beneficial pollinators, and we offer live bee relocation when possible and practical. For wasps, yellowjackets, and hornets, we provide professional nest removal using eco-friendly treatments that eliminate the colony while minimizing environmental impact.

Carpenter bees — the large, hovering bees that drill into wood fascia, decks, and porches — are a structural concern for many Philadelphia homeowners. Our carpenter bee treatment includes nest treatment, entry hole sealing, and wood surface treatments to prevent re-drilling. We also treat ground-nesting yellowjacket colonies that pose hazards in Philadelphia backyards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove a wasp nest from inside my wall?

Yes. We locate wall void nests through careful exterior and interior inspection, treat the colony, and seal the entry point. Opening the wall is usually not necessary.

Do you kill honeybees?

We prioritize live honeybee relocation when possible and practical. We work with local beekeepers for honeybee hive removals. For wasp and hornet nests, professional removal is the appropriate approach.

When are wasps most active in Philadelphia?

Queens establish new nests in May-June. Colonies reach peak size in August-September, when yellowjackets become most aggressive. Fall is the highest-risk period for stinging incidents.
