Are Bees or Wasps Putting Your Family at Risk?

Bee and wasp activity around your home is more than just a nuisance. It can be a real danger. If someone in your household is allergic, a single sting could lead to a serious medical emergency. Even without an allergy, multiple stings can be painful, especially for children, pets, and older adults. When nests are hidden in walls, attics, or under eaves, these stinging insects can go unnoticed until the infestation becomes more severe.

At Harbor Pest Control, we offer safe and effective wasp and bee control services for homeowners in San Diego and surrounding areas, helping you take back your yard and protect your loved ones.

The Risks Behind Stinging Insects

Why It's Important to Remove Bees & Wasps

Bees and wasps are known for their painful stings, but the risks go beyond short-term discomfort:

  • Allergic reactions can be serious, even in people with no previous history of allergies.
  • Multiple stings can be dangerous for children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
  • Hidden nests in the attic or inside wall voids can lead to repeated infestations.
  • Increased aggression from certain species puts outdoor gatherings and activities at risk.

If you're seeing consistent activity around your home, it may be a sign of a nest nearby.

How we eliminate stinging insects

Free stinging insect inspection

Trying to handle a bee or wasp problem on your own can be both difficult and dangerous. Many homeowners attempt to use store-bought sprays, but unless the treatment reaches the nest directly, most of the colony will survive. Nests located inside walls or attics are especially hard to reach, and disturbing them can trigger a swarm.

When you contact our team for assistance, our trained professionals will locate the nest(s), even if hidden from view. We'll also correctly identify the species, which is key to choosing the most effective treatment.

Targeted treatments for bees and wasps

Our bee and wasp control service is designed to safely and effectively eliminate active nests using the right tools, products, and protective equipment. We focus on removing the threat while minimizing risk to your home, family, and the environment.

  • For bees, we can treat newly established hives that have been present for less than 24 hours. If the hive has been active longer, we will refer you to a trusted local beekeeper for safe and ethical removal
  • For wasps, we knock down and treat nests both inside and outside the structure, eliminating the hive and discouraging return activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bee & Wasp Control FAQ

We’ve answered some of the most common concerns from local homeowners, including where to look for nests on your property.

Where do bees and wasps like to nest? 

Bees and wasps build their nests in sheltered areas near or on your home. Common nesting spots include:

  • Under roof eaves and overhangs
  • Inside attics and wall voids
  • Under decks and porches
  • In sheds, shrubs, and trees

Some nests are visible and easy to spot. Others are hidden in hard-to-reach places. In either case, it's best to avoid disturbing the area and call in a professional for help.

What types of bees and wasps are active in the San Diego area?

San Diego’s warm climate makes it a hotspot for several types of stinging insects. Here are some of the most common bees and wasps you might see around homes and yards:

  • Honey bees
  • Mud daubers
  • Paper wasps
  • Yellow jackets

Can I remove the nest myself? 

It’s not recommended. DIY sprays may not reach the entire nest, and disturbing a colony can provoke stings or swarming. Our technicians use specialized products and safety gear to eliminate nests efficiently and safely.
