Wasp & hornet removal

Stinging insects like yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets can quickly turn your outdoor spaces into no-go zones. These pests aren’t just a nuisance. Their aggressive behavior and painful stings present real safety risks to your family, pets, and guests. At Queen Bee Pest and Wildlife, we offer professional removal and control services designed to protect your Charlotte-area property and give you peace of mind.

Our trained technicians use proven techniques to locate and remove nests safely, eliminate active insects, and help prevent future infestations. We understand the unique pest problems of the Charlotte area and tailor our approach to each situation, whether it’s a nest under your eaves, in a tree, or near high-traffic outdoor areas.

Important: We do not provide bee removal services. If you have a bee hive on your property, we work with our trusted local bee removal partners who specialize in safe, humane bee relocation.

Hornets are one of the most recognizable stinging insect threats in our region. These pests often build substantial paper-like nests in trees, attic spaces, or under roof overhangs. Hornets can be territorial and will aggressively defend their nests if disturbed, making removal especially hazardous without professional gear and experience.

Our hornet removal service includes:

• Inspection and nest identification
• Safe, targeted removal of hornets and their nest
•Treatment to discourage future hornet activity

Whether the nest is high above the ground or tucked into hard-to-reach spots, our team has the tools and protective equipment to handle it safely.

Wasps come in many forms, from paper wasps with umbrella-shaped nests under eaves to solitary wasps in sheltered cracks and crevices. While wasps are less aggressive than hornets, they will still sting to defend their nest, especially when it’s close to people or pets.

Our wasp removal services cover:

• Identification of wasp type and nest location
•Complete nest removal and insect exclusion
•Recommendations for preventing repeat infestations

Don’t wait for a wasp problem to escalate; early removal helps reduce the number of stinging insects and keeps outdoor areas safe throughout the season.

Yellow jackets are among the most aggressive stinging insects homeowners encounter. Often mistaken for bees, these pests have a slender waist and bold yellow-and-black markings. They commonly nest underground, in wall voids, or hidden cavities, which can make detection and removal tricky.

Our yellow jacket removal process includes:

• Locating and mapping the nest
•Safe excavation and removal of the colony
•Follow-up treatments to stop reinfestation

Because yellow jackets will defend their nest vigorously, professional removal is strongly recommended.
