A nest over a doorway or a cloud of bees near a play structure needs handling now, not next week. We provide bee removal Santa Clarita families can trust, along with wasp, yellowjacket and hornet nest removal across the valley. We price it simply: it depends on how high the nest is.
Honey bees are fuzzy, golden-brown and focused on flowers. They build wax comb in protected cavities like wall voids, eaves, irrigation boxes and hollow trees. Wasps and yellowjackets are smooth, shiny and brightly marked. Paper wasps hang open, umbrella-shaped combs under eaves and patio covers, and yellowjackets nest in the ground, block walls and voids. Telling them apart matters, because honey bees can often be relocated while wasps are treated and removed.
Spring is swarm season in the valley. A resting swarm on a branch or fence is usually passing through, but once bees start building comb in a wall, roof or meter box, they've moved in. Africanized honey bees are established in Southern California and defend their nest much more aggressively than typical bees, so never spray, knock down or seal up a colony yourself. Sealing the entrance often pushes bees into the house.
We remove the nest, treat the site so the colony doesn't rebuild in the same spot, and clear the residual comb where it's reachable. This is exterior work: nests on eaves, soffits, fascia, patio covers, trees, fences, sheds and play structures.
$250 for a single-story nest, $300 where the nest requires ladder work at two stories or above. That's the whole pricing structure. Height drives the cost because it drives the setup, the equipment and the risk. If you're already on a recurring pest plan with us, we add removal to your scheduled visit.
If the nest turns out to be inside a wall void or up in the attic rather than on the exterior, that's a different job with different access work, and we'll quote it after looking. We'll tell you that on site rather than after the invoice.
Near a front door, a walkway, a gate latch, a pool area or anywhere children play. Yellowjackets in particular defend a wide radius and sting repeatedly. If someone in the household has a sting allergy, don't wait and don't try to knock it down yourself.
If the pests we treated for return within 30 days, we'll re-treat at no charge. No arguing, no upsell.
If we find an established honey bee colony, we'll tell you. Those are often better handled by a beekeeper who can relocate them, and we'd rather point you there than treat something that shouldn't be treated. Colonies that pose a safety risk, or that a beekeeper can't safely reach, are a different conversation, and we'll talk it through with you.
Probably not yet. In spring, honey bees swarm and rest in a cluster on a branch, fence or eave while scouts look for a permanent home. A swarm often moves on within a day or two. Keep people and pets away and call us if it's still there, if it's in a dangerous spot, or if bees start going in and out of a wall or roof.
Often, yes. Nests near doors and play areas get priority. Call 661-242-9966 and we'll tell you honestly how soon we can be out.
We treat the site after removal specifically so they don't. Paper wasps in particular will rebuild on the same eave year after year if the site isn't treated.
