European Paper Wasp Abatement & Prevention

The invasive European Paper Wasp is often mistaken for a Yellowjacket. A closer look reveals it is larger than an average Yellowjacket and has a much slimmer waist. Preventing nest establishment and eliminating new nests early in the season are essential. The Bee Guy has years of experience keeping wasps and hornets out of yards and workplaces. To schedule a consultation, contact us today!

North American Paper Wasp Abatement & Prevention

North American Paper Wasps, known as Umbrella Wasps, have a segmented body, a slow flight pattern and dangling legs. They are about 3/4" long and have a slim body. Paper Wasps prefer nesting in attics but will nest practically anywhere; in eave peaks, behind shutters, under deck railings, in gas grills, or in swing sets, mailboxes and light fixtures.   The Bee Guy to get rid of Paper Wasp nests on your property. 

Mud Dauber Abatement & Prevention

Mud Dauber Wasps are a shiny black, brown, orange and yellow color. Many have long slender thread waists. Mud Daubers place their long, tube-like mud nests in protected places like electric motors, sheds, attics, siding and porch ceilings. 

Should you find mud daubers on your property, contact us!

Yellow Jacket Abatement & Prevention

German Yellowjackets are often mistaken for bees because they buzz like bees. They belong to a group of social wasps, cooperating to build and defend their queen and colony. Aerial Yellowjackets nest in trees or shrubs, under decks and high in eaves. Their nest is visible and easy to identify; a "football" or upside down teardrop-shaped nest constructed from gray paper with a single hole on the bottom. Yellow jackets make this paper themselves by chewing on tiny slivers of wood. The young are hatched and food is stored in the nest's center or "core" of hexagonal (or six-sided) cells. Ground Bees, a type of yellow jacket, nest in rodent burrows and build hives two inches to two feet underground. If you find any kind of Yellowjacket nest, contact The Bee Guy to take care of it!

Bald-Faced Hornet Abatement & Prevention

Bald-faced hornet nests are entirely exterior, found in trees and shrubs, under decks and high in eaves. Like Arial Yellowjackets, they construct a "football" or upside-down teardrop-shaped nest from gray paper. Bald-faced hornets are aggressive when disturbed, and removal is best accomplished by a professional. Contact us today to safely remove hornet nests from your property.
