Services
Bee Removal
We specialize in locating and removing honeybee hives from walls, attics, and outdoor structures. Our process kills insects instantly while minimizing property damage. Treatments take 1-2 hours, with follow-up care included in our written warranty. Clients receive guidance on preventing future infestations.
Wasp Extermination
Our rapid-response team targets wasp nests in ceilings, decks, and shrubbery using specialized sprays that kill on contact. We seal entry points and apply residual treatments to prevent re-infestation. Each service includes a post-treatment inspection to ensure complete eradication.
Hornet Control
We address aggressive hornet species through targeted extermination and habitat modification. Our preventive spray applications create long-lasting barriers around properties, focusing on rooflines and outdoor living areas to deter nesting behavior.
Yellow Jacket Removal
Our technicians identify and eliminate underground yellow jacket colonies using temperature-sensitive solutions. We treat entry points in foundations and provide seasonal preventive services to protect patios and recreational spaces.
Preventive Spraying
Our proprietary liquid solution forms invisible barriers on exterior surfaces, repelling stinging insects without staining. Applications cover eaves, decks, and landscaping features, with annual treatments maintaining protection across entire properties.
