Bees & Stinging Insect Control

Hornets, bees, wasps, and yellow jackets are aggressive pests that sting to protect their colonies, making it extremely dangerous for homeowners and business owners to handle infestations on their own. Stinging insects often attack in large groups and send thousands of people to the emergency room each year. Removing these pests from your property should always be left to a professional exterminator.

Our Richmond, VA pest control service provides expert local technicians trained to safely and effectively eliminate stinging insect infestations.

Risks of Having Bees on Your Property

Having bees or wasps on your property poses several risks. Bee removal is essential to protect you, your family, and your pets. Bees that feel threatened will sting, and simply moving around your property can disturb them.

Carpenter bees pose an additional threat because they can cause extensive damage to wooden structures like stairs, decks, and porches. If carpenter bees have made their way onto your property, removing them should be a priority to prevent costly structural damage. Fortunately, Southern Pest Services provides expert removal services for bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and carpenter bees.

Hornets in Richmond, VA

The Richmond, VA area is home to several types of hornets that build large papery nests in trees and along the upper rooflines of homes and businesses. Hornets are most active in warm weather and do not reuse old nests.

Hornets usually swarm and sting only when their nest is disturbed, but when they do, they can be highly aggressive and sting repeatedly. If you see a hornet nest, call Southern Pest Services today for professional removal.

Yellow Jackets & Wasps in Richmond, VA

These stinging insects build paper nests with open cells, often found around semi-enclosed structures. Their nests can be concealed inside tight spaces near gutters, pipes, and outdoor clutter, making them difficult to remove safely.

Once their nesting areas are disturbed, wasps and yellow jackets become aggressive and will swarm and sting. If you see a wasp or yellow jacket nest on your property, contact Southern Pest Services immediately for expert removal.
