Hornet, Bees and Wasp Removal Tacoma

At PestPolicy, we offer expert hornet, bee, and wasp removal services to keep your property safe and pest-free.

Our team is experienced in handling various types of stinging insects, ensuring effective and humane solutions. Here’s a brief overview of the common stinging insects in Tacoma and how we can help:

1. Yellow Jacket

Yellow jackets are aggressive wasps known for their distinctive black and yellow markings. They build paper-like nests, often in hidden locations like wall cavities or underground.

• These insects undergo complete metamorphosis, starting from an egg to a larva, pupa, and finally, an adult. A colony is typically established in spring and can grow throughout the summer.

Our experts locate and safely remove yellow jacket nests, reducing the risk of stings and infestations. We use environmentally-friendly methods to ensure the safety of your family and pets.

2. Honey Bees

Honey bees are essential pollinators with a fuzzy appearance and yellow and brown stripes. They usually nest in hollow trees, beehives, or wall cavities. Honey bees have a complex social structure, with a queen, workers, and drones.

• The queen lays eggs, which develop into larvae, pupae, and adults. Colonies can survive for several years.

We prioritize the safe relocation of honey bee colonies to protect these crucial pollinators. Our team collaborates with local beekeepers to ensure the bees are relocated to a suitable habitat.

3. Bumble Bees

Bumble bees are large, fuzzy insects with black and yellow coloring. They are less aggressive and usually nest in the ground, often in abandoned rodent burrows.

• Bumble bees form small colonies, typically with a single queen. The lifecycle includes egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Colonies die off in late fall, with only the new queens hibernating.

We provide safe removal and relocation services for bumble bee nests. Our team ensures that these beneficial insects are preserved and relocated to an appropriate environment.

4. Paper Wasp

Paper wasps are slender with long legs, and they have a brownish color with yellow markings. They build open, umbrella-shaped nests made from chewed wood fibers.

• Paper wasps follow a similar lifecycle to other wasps, starting from eggs laid by the queen. The colony grows throughout the summer and dies off in late fall.

We identify and safely remove paper wasp nests to prevent stings and property damage. Our techniques ensure that nests are effectively removed, reducing the likelihood of re-infestation.
