Bees and Wasps
Bees and wasps are essential pollinators – but when they nest too close to homes, patios, or playgrounds, they can become dangerous pests. In South Florida, the warm climate allows stinging insects like yellow jackets, paper wasps, hornets, and carpenter bees to stay active nearly year-round.
Whether it’s a nest under your eaves, a swarm near your business entrance, or bees inside a wall void, In Touch Pest Control provides safe, effective bee and wasp removal that protects both your property and the environment.
Common Bee & Wasp Species
Understanding the difference between bees and wasps helps determine the safest treatment method. Our licensed technicians identify the species before removal to ensure proper control and prevention.
Where Bees and Wasps Nest
Bees and wasps often build nests near sheltered, sunny locations with easy access to food and water.
Common nesting sites include:
- Roof eaves and soffits
- Decks, porches, and playsets
- Wall cavities and attic voids
- Trees, shrubs, and fences
- Light fixtures or irrigation boxes
If you see consistent flying activity near one area, there’s likely a nest hidden nearby.
Dangers of Bee & Wasp Infestations
While most bees are not aggressive when left undisturbed, wasps and hornets can become highly defensive, especially when their nests are threatened.
Risks include:
- Painful stings and potential allergic reactions
- Aggressive swarms from disturbed nests
- Structural damage from carpenter bee tunneling
- Re-infestations in untreated nesting sites

Bee & Wasp Habits
- Wasps are territorial and often return to the same site each year.
- Honey bees swarm when colonies grow too large, seeking a new nesting area.
- Carpenter bees prefer untreated wood, especially under decks and railings.
- Many species are most active during spring and summer but remain present in South Florida through winter.
How we Remove Bees & Wasps
At In Touch Pest Control, we focus on safe removal, prevention, and protection. Our licensed experts identify the species and apply the most effective control method for your situation.
Our process includes:
- Inspection: Locate active nests and entry points.
- Species Identification: Determine whether removal, relocation, or extermination is appropriate.
- Treatment: Use targeted, low-toxicity applications for wasps or humane bee relocation when possible.
- Exclusion & Prevention: Seal nesting sites and apply deterrents to prevent future colonies.
All treatments are eco-conscious and performed by Florida-licensed technicians trained in stinging-insect management.
DIY Prevention Tips
- Keep trash bins sealed to reduce attractants.
- Avoid leaving sweet drinks or open food outdoors.
- Inspect soffits, fences, and sheds for early nest signs.
- Paint or seal raw wood to deter carpenter bees.
- Schedule spring inspections to catch nests early.
Proactive prevention helps minimize the risk of stings and costly infestations.
When to Call a Professional
If you notice increased bee or wasp activity, see nests forming under eaves or decks, or find insects entering wall gaps – it’s time to call a professional. Attempting to spray or knock down nests yourself can lead to painful stings or dangerous allergic reactions.
Our In Touch Pest Control specialists safely remove active nests, relocate honey bee colonies when possible, and prevent future infestations with targeted treatments.
Whether it’s a small wasp nest or a large swarm near your home or business, we provide fast, same-day service across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties.
