Wasp & Bee Removal in South Florida

Bugsy’s Pest Solutions provides fast, professional wasp, hornet, yellow jacket, and bee removal throughout South Florida. Stinging insects near your home’s entry points, outdoor living areas, or HVAC equipment are not just a nuisance — they’re a serious safety hazard, especially for children, pets, and anyone with allergies. We safely eliminate nests and colonies with professional-grade treatment and take preventive measures to discourage re-nesting.

Stinging Insects We Remove

Paper Wasps

Paper wasps build open-comb nests under eaves, in soffits, on porch ceilings, and around window frames. They’re one of the most common stinging insects around South Florida homes and will defend their nest aggressively if disturbed.

Yellow Jackets

Yellow jackets are more aggressive than paper wasps and can sting multiple times. They often build nests in the ground, inside wall voids, or in hollow tree stumps. Underground nests in yards are particularly dangerous for children and pets.

Mud Daubers

Mud daubers are solitary wasps that build tube-shaped nests from mud on walls, under eaves, and in garages. They’re less aggressive than social wasps but their nests can clog HVAC vents and drain pipes.

Bald-Faced Hornets

Bald-faced hornets build large, enclosed paper nests in trees, bushes, and on the exterior of buildings. They’re highly defensive and should only be treated by a professional.

Honey Bees

Honey bee colonies that have moved into wall voids, attics, or structural cavities require specialized treatment. Where possible, Bugsy’s coordinates with local beekeepers for live removal. See our bee removal service for full details.

Why You Should Never Treat Wasps Without a Professional

• Disturbing a nest without proper protective equipment triggers a mass defensive attack
• Underground yellow jacket nests can contain thousands of workers — not visible until disturbed
• Spraying the exterior of a nest without treating the inside leaves the colony intact
• DIY treatment at night (often recommended online) still risks significant stings without proper PPE

Our Wasp Removal Process

• Inspection — identify all nest locations on the property, including hidden ground nests
• Targeted treatment — direct application of professional insecticide into the nest
• Nest removal — once the colony is eliminated, we remove the physical nest structure
• Prevention — treat potential nesting sites on eaves, soffits, and exterior surfaces to discourage re-nesting

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you remove a wasp nest?

In most cases, we can schedule same-day or next-day service for wasp removal. For active nests near entry points or children’s play areas, call us immediately.

Will wasps come back after nest removal?

We remove the physical nest and treat the area to discourage re-nesting. However, if a prime nesting site remains available (like an uncovered soffit void), wasps may attempt to rebuild in a new season. We’ll advise you on prevention measures.

Are honey bees removed differently than wasps?

Yes. Honey bees are protected under many Florida conservation guidelines. Where possible, we work with local beekeepers for live relocation. When a colony has moved into a structural cavity, treatment may be required followed by honeycomb removal to prevent future pest attraction.
