Carpenter Bee & Stinging Insect Control FAQs
Should I spray a wasp or yellow jacket nest myself?
Disturbing an active nest can trigger defensive behavior. Professional service is especially useful when nests are near entrances, walkways, decks, or other frequently used areas.
Are carpenter bees the same as honey bees?
No. Carpenter bees are solitary bees that excavate galleries in wood. Honey bees live in colonies and require a different approach.
Will the same wasp nest come back next year?
The same nest is generally not reused the following year, but new queens may establish new nests in nearby protected areas.
Can you treat nests inside walls?
Treatment options depend on the species and location. An inspection helps determine the safest and most effective approach for concealed activity.
