Stinging insects like wasps, yellow jackets, and bees can pose serious threats to homeowners, businesses, and outdoor spaces. Their painful stings can cause allergic reactions, aggressive swarms, and disruptions to daily life. Some species, like yellow jackets, are highly territorial and will repeatedly sting when provoked. Others, like honeybees, are essential pollinators but require professional removal if they establish hives near your home.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we provide safe, effective, and humane stinging insect control services in Washington and Oregon. Whether you need nest removal, prevention treatments, or bee relocation, our experts are here to help.
If you notice increased wasp or bee activity, you may have a nearby nest. Common signs include:
✔ Frequent Sightings of Wasps or Yellow Jackets – Seeing multiple wasps in the same area may indicate a hidden nest nearby.
✔ Buzzing Noises in Walls or Eaves – A sign of honeybee or wasp nests inside structures.
✔ Visible Nests in Trees, Eaves, or Ground – Paper-like nests indicate wasps or hornets, while honeycomb structures suggest bees.
✔ Sudden Swarms Near Your Home – Aggressive behavior when approaching certain areas can signal a nearby active nest.
If you suspect a nest near your home, avoid disturbing it, as many stinging insects will defend their colony aggressively.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use safe, effective, and environmentally responsible techniques to remove nests and prevent future infestations.

Yellow jackets and wasps can sting multiple times and become highly aggressive if their nest is disturbed. Their stings can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Look for paper-like nests under eaves, decks, attics, or trees. If you see frequent wasp activity near a specific area, you likely have a hidden nest nearby.
Stay calm and keep your distance. Swarming bees are usually not aggressive but should be removed by a professional beekeeper or pest control expert.
DIY nest removal is extremely risky. Wasps and hornets attack in swarms when threatened, making professional removal the safest option.
Without proper prevention, wasps may rebuild in the same area. We offer residual treatments and exclusion strategies to prevent reinfestation.
Steps to deter wasps include:
✔ Sealing cracks & entry points around roofs and siding
✔ Removing food sources, such as open garbage or sugary drinks
✔ Installing decoy wasp nests to discourage new colonies
Don’t let wasps, hornets, or bees put your family at risk—act now to remove active nests and prevent future infestations. Contact True Guard Pest & Wildlife for professional, fast, and effective stinging insect control solutions.
