Wasp & Bee Removal in Philadelphia

Professional wasp, hornet, and yellow jacket removal. Honeybee colonies referred to licensed beekeepers.

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. We do not treat honeybees; if a colony is confirmed as honeybees rather than wasps or hornets, we refer the matter to a licensed beekeeper. 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 treat honeybees?

No, we do not treat honeybees. If an inspection confirms a colony is honeybees rather than wasps or hornets, we refer the situation to a licensed beekeeper instead of treating it ourselves. 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.
