A nest over a doorway or near a play structure is the kind of thing that needs handling now, not next week. We remove exterior wasp, bee and hornet nests across the valley, and we price it simply: it depends on how high the nest is.
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.
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.
