Signs of a Wasp or Bee Problem
- Seeing wasps or bees flying in and out of a specific location?
- Finding a paper nest under your eaves, deck, or in shrubs?
- Noticing increased stinging insect activity around your home?
- Hearing buzzing sounds inside walls or attic spaces?
- Seeing bees entering through gaps in your siding or soffits?
Stinging insects become more aggressive in late summer and fall as colonies grow and food sources diminish. If you have a nest on your property, it’s best to address it before someone gets stung.
Professional Stinging Insect Control in Royal Oak
Wasp and bee stings are painful and can be life-threatening for people with allergies. Even those without allergies can have serious reactions to multiple stings. DIY nest removal is dangerous – disturbing a nest without proper training and equipment often results in multiple stings.
Our Royal Oak stinging insect specialists have the training, equipment, and products to safely eliminate wasp and bee nests. We identify the species, assess the situation, and choose the safest and most effective removal method.
Royal Oak’s mature trees, older homes with multiple entry points, and proximity to the Detroit Zoo create ideal conditions for stinging insects. We see paper wasps under eaves, yellow jackets in ground nests, and occasionally honey bee colonies in wall voids.
Stinging Insects in Royal Oak
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, deck railings, and porch ceilings. They’re slender with long legs and typically brown with yellow markings. Paper wasps are generally non-aggressive unless their nest is threatened, but nests near doorways pose a sting risk.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are aggressive and territorial. They build large nests underground, in wall voids, and occasionally in trees. Their distinctive yellow and black coloring is often confused with bees. Yellow jacket colonies can contain thousands of workers and become highly aggressive in late summer.
Bald-Faced Hornets
Despite their name, bald-faced hornets are actually a type of yellow jacket. They build large, football-shaped paper nests in trees and shrubs. They’re very protective of their nests and will attack in large numbers if disturbed.
Honey Bees
Honey bees sometimes establish colonies in wall voids, attics, and hollow trees. Unlike wasps, honey bees are beneficial pollinators. When possible, we recommend contacting a local beekeeper for honey bee removal. If relocation isn’t possible, we can provide removal services.

Our Wasp and Bee Removal Process
Step 1: Assessment
We locate the nest, identify the species, and assess the situation. Nest location, species, and size all affect our treatment approach.
Step 2: Treatment
Using appropriate protective equipment, we treat the nest with professional products that eliminate the colony. Treatment timing depends on the species – some are best treated at dusk when all workers have returned.
Step 3: Nest Removal
When the nest is accessible, we remove it after treatment. This eliminates the visual cue that might attract other queens looking for nest sites.
Step 4: Prevention
We can seal entry points and apply preventive treatments to discourage future nesting in problem areas.
