Wasp, Hornet & Bee Removal in Southern California
Stinging insects near a doorway, a play area, or inside a wall are not a DIY job. We remove the nest and the risk with it.
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and patio covers. Yellowjackets nest in the ground, in wall voids, and in attics, and become aggressive late in summer when colonies are largest. Honey bees swarm in spring and can move into walls, meter boxes, and trees — and in Southern California, some colonies are Africanized and defend their hive far more aggressively than you might expect.
Fly Guys Pest Control identifies what is nesting before touching it, because the right approach differs: wasp and yellowjacket nests are treated and removed, while honey bees are removed and relocated where it is safe to do so. We handle nests in eaves, walls, the ground, and hard-to-reach spots, with the protective gear to do it safely.
Signs of a Nest on Your Property
Nests under eaves
Gray, papery comb hanging from eaves, patio covers, or door frames — usually paper wasps.
Traffic at a hole
A steady stream of insects flying in and out of a gap in siding, a vent, or the ground.
Buzzing in a wall
A humming sound inside a wall or ceiling means a colony has moved into the void.
Wasps indoors
Wasps appearing inside, especially near light fixtures, can mean a nest in the attic or wall.
A bee swarm
A large cluster of bees hanging from a branch or fence, usually in spring, looking for a new home.
Yellowjackets at food
Persistent yellowjackets around trash cans and outdoor meals late in the summer point to a nest nearby.
Our Wasp & Bee Removal Process
Identify the insect
We confirm whether it is paper wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, or honey bees, since each needs a different approach.
Locate the nest
We find the nest itself, including ones hidden in walls, attics, or the ground, rather than treating the insects you can see.
Treat or relocate
Wasp and yellowjacket nests are treated and removed; honey bees are removed and relocated where it is safe to do so.
Seal & prevent
We advise on the gaps and vents to close afterward so a new colony does not move into the same spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I just spray the nest myself?
We advise against it. Disturbing a yellowjacket or bee colony can trigger a mass defensive attack, and nests inside walls are rarely reached by store-bought sprays. It is safer to have us identify and handle it.
Do you remove honey bees without killing them?
Where it is safe, yes — we remove and relocate honey bee colonies. A colony that is aggressive or in a location that makes relocation unsafe may need to be treated instead; we explain the options first.
Should I plug the hole they are going in and out of?
No. Blocking the entrance of a wall or attic nest can drive the insects inward into the living space. Leave it open until the nest has been treated, then seal it.
How quickly can you come out?
Stinging insects near doors, walkways, or play areas are treated as a priority. Call (909) 736-4750 and we will schedule as soon as we can.
Will they come back to the same spot?
Old nest sites can attract new colonies, especially bees drawn to leftover comb. Removing the nest material and sealing the gap afterward is what prevents a repeat.
