Every stinging insect, one phone call

If it flies, stings, and built a nest on your property — we've got it covered.

Paper wasps

Umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, railings, and deck furniture

Yellow jackets

Ground and wall nests — the aggressive late-summer ones

Bald-faced hornets

Large gray, football-sized nests in trees and shrubs

Mud daubers

Mud tube nests on porches, garages, and attics

Cicada killers

Honeybees

Relocated alive whenever possible — we don't treat them like pests

Safety first, pollinators too

When we relocate vs. when we remove

Your family's safety comes first. But bees matter, so we save them whenever we can.

We relocate
  • Honeybee colonies — important pollinators, always our first choice to save
  • Nests we can reach and move out in one piece
  • Calm bee species that pose little threat
  • Established colonies with a healthy queen
We remove
  • Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets that sting to defend
  • Nests inside walls or spots where moving them isn't safe
  • Nests near doors, decks, play areas, or other busy spots
  • Repeat problems that keep coming back each season
Step 1 — What to look for

Signs you may have bees & wasps

  • A papery gray or tan nest under eaves, on decks, or tucked in shrubs
  • Wasps flying in and out of one spot — a hole in the ground, a wall, or a soffit
  • Yellow jackets swarming food, trash cans, or drinks on the patio
  • Heavy traffic around a shed, playset, or deck railing
  • Nests that came back bigger than last year — they rarely stay small
Step 2 — How A&J treats it

Our treatment, start to finish

  1. 1We inspect and identify the species — treatment differs for each one
  2. 2Evening or early-morning application, when the whole colony is inside the nest
  3. 3Full nest removal when it's reachable, so nothing rebuilds in the same spot
  4. 4Preventive treatment of eaves, soffits, and entry points to stop new nests

Step 3 — Keeping a safe, healthy home

How to keep them from coming back

  • Seal gaps in soffits, siding, and around vents in early spring
  • Keep trash cans lidded and rinse recycling — sweet residue pulls in yellow jackets
  • Walk your eaves, deck underside, and playset each spring for new nests
  • Call early — a nest the size of a golf ball is a quick job, a basketball is not
  • Book a spring preventive spray if your property gets nests every year

Frequently asked

Do you handle honeybees?+

Yes — honeybees are pollinators, so we relocate them alive whenever possible instead of treating. If a hive is inside a wall, we'll walk you through the options.

How fast can you get here?+

Stinging-insect calls jump the line. Most are handled the same week, often within a day or two.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?+

Yes. Once the application dries, your yard is safe again — usually 30 to 60 minutes.

Will they just come back?+

A removed nest never gets reused, but wasps return to spots that worked before. Our preventive treatment breaks that cycle.

Is it dangerous to remove a nest myself?+

It can be. Many species get aggressive when their nest is disturbed. Our techs have the protective gear and training to do it safely.

How do you relocate a bee colony?+

We carefully find the queen, gently move the comb and worker bees into a new hive box, and take the colony to a local beekeeper or safe spot where it can thrive.
