Stinging Insect Control
If you are having trouble with some stinging insects hanging and flying around your home or business, we can help reduce and eliminate activity in nests and remove threats of re-colonization of over 150,000 living stinging species.
The most common stinging insects in Massachusetts are honeybees, yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets. Regardless of your specific stinging insect we have the pest management solution to get you, your family or customers back outside uninhibited by a potential hazard. Most stinging insects are commonly active in late summer and early fall. They are generally most active during the day scavenging for food.
We protect the Honey Bees as they are essential to our ecosystem, but we do realize when a bees nest is found near your house or business it can disrupt your family or customers. We will always take the right approach to eliminate or remove bees from the unwanted location.
We are committed to keeping your family safe while also considering the effects on the environment.
Wasps, yellow jackets, and bees are among of the most aggressive pests in the area. You can find their nests in the corners of your windows, beneath your awnings, under your porches, and below your decks. If disturbed, the entire colony may become hostile and attempt to inflict a painful sting on anyone that was unfortunate enough to come too close.
