Wasp
Wasps are insects in the Hymenoptera order and the Apocrita sub-order. Wasp are often mistaken for bees and confused with other stinging insects like hornets and yellow jackets. Wasps are notorious for building their nests right in places where people like to gather, like around your deck or under the eaves of your roof in your backyard, and for viciously defending their nests.
Wasps come in all shapes and sizes. Unlike bees, some wasps are solitary while others thrive in large colonies. Some wasps survive entirely on nectar from plants, but others are parasitic and will attack other insects. They have a painful sting, and unlike bees, wasps do not leave their stingers behind. That means they can sting someone over and over again - which makes them particularly painful pests.
At Professional Pest Control, we are your wasp control professionals, we know how to find wasp nests and safely remove them so that you don’t have to worry about being stung.

Bees
If you've spent anytime outdoors during summer months then you know all about bees. They are yellow and black and the often induce more fear into people than the situation warrants. Bees do sting, and people with allergies can be affected seriously. If a colony of bees sets up a hive around your property, children playing nearby, mowing the lawn or outdoor activities near that hive can be seen as aggression and stings can happen.
Beehives should not be messed with without the right equipment and safety measures. Western Exterminator are bee control and bee removal experts and we safely remove hives, prevent their return, and use environmentally sound methods that will not interfere with commercial hives and pollinators.

Do We Have Bees?
Probably the biggest sign is the increased bee activity around your home. Guard bees tend to stay relatively close to the hive and will investigate any perceived threat. If they find a threat, they send out a chemical alarm that will cause more bees to come to the situation and repel the threat. Hives can be visible and under eaves and decks, or they can be in the ground, which makes them harder to see.
Don't assume that if you don't see a hive that there might not be one nearby

There are many types of bees from all around the world and they have varying habits and temperaments. Some of the most common in North America are:
- Honey Bees - probably the most common and the ones you are most likely to find around your home.
- Bumblebees - the short, fat, bees that you see on flowers during the summer. They rarely sting.
- Carpenter Bees - set up their homes inside soft wood and can cause property damage similar to termites. Males do not have stingers, but will fly around humans who get close to the nest.
