Wasp control in Orange County

Wasps are one of the most common stinging pests in Orange County, frequently building nests under eaves, decks, play structures, or inside shrubs. Paper wasps form umbrella-shaped nests that can grow quickly in warm weather, while yellow jackets often nest underground, posing a hidden risk when mowing or walking in the yard. Wasps are territorial and will aggressively defend their nests, delivering painful stings that can trigger allergic reactions. Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, making encounters particularly dangerous. DIY sprays may kill a few visible wasps, but they don’t remove nests or prevent re-establishment. Without professional treatment, wasp colonies return year after year.

Our licensed technicians begin with a full inspection to identify the type of wasp and locate all active nests. We use specialized, eco-conscious treatments that eliminate colonies quickly and safely. Aerial nests are treated and removed to prevent reuse, while underground yellow jacket nests are addressed with products that penetrate deeply, ensuring queens and workers are eliminated. Once nests are cleared, we provide recommendations for sealing and habitat changes—such as trimming back vegetation and monitoring outdoor structures—to reduce future nesting. This comprehensive approach delivers both immediate relief and long-term prevention.
