Professional Bee and Wasp Removal in Ventura County
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets can be dangerous — especially for people with allergies. Cal Termite & Pest Control provides safe, professional bee and wasp removal services for homes and businesses across Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Los Angeles County.
Do not attempt to remove a bee hive or wasp nest yourself. Disturbing a colony can trigger aggressive defensive behavior, resulting in multiple stings that can cause serious allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. Call a professional.
Types of Stinging Insects We Remove
Yellow Jackets — Aggressive wasps that build nests in the ground, wall voids, and eaves. Yellow jackets are responsible for most stinging insect injuries in Ventura County. They’re attracted to food and drinks at outdoor gatherings and become increasingly aggressive in late summer and fall.
Paper Wasps — Build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, and deck railings. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting if their nest is disturbed.
Honeybees — Essential pollinators that sometimes build hives in wall voids, chimneys, and trees. When possible, we recommend live removal and relocation by a beekeeper. When hive location makes live removal impossible, we provide professional removal services.
Carpenter Bees — Large bees that bore into wood to create nesting tunnels. They can cause structural damage to decks, fences, and eaves over time.
Mud Daubers — Solitary wasps that build tube-shaped mud nests on walls and ceilings. Generally non-aggressive but their nests are unsightly and attract spiders.
Our Removal Process
Emergency Response — Stinging insects near high-traffic areas like doorways, play areas, and pools are treated as urgent. Call us and we can often respond same-day.
Nest Location and Identification — We identify the species and locate all nests on your property. Some nests are hidden inside walls, underground, or in hard-to-see areas.
Safe Removal — Our technicians use professional equipment and protective gear to safely remove or treat the nest. Treatment methods vary by species and nest location.
Prevention — After removal, we treat the area to discourage rebuilding and seal entry points where insects accessed wall voids or structural cavities.
