Remove Stinging Insects From Your Property

Safe removal of bees and wasps from homes and businesses in New Rochelle, Westchester County, and all five boroughs

You walk out your front door and see wasps flying in and out of a hole in your siding, or you notice a nest hanging under your roofline near a porch light. Stinging insects build nests in eaves, soffits, siding, trees, and shrubs around New York City properties during warm-weather months, and they defend these nests aggressively when people or pets come near. Tri-County Pest Control removes bees and wasps from homes and commercial properties, treating nests located in hard-to-reach areas where stinging insects pose a risk to anyone using entryways, yards, or outdoor seating areas.

Our stinging insect services include rapid response during peak activity seasons when nests grow quickly and wasps become more territorial. We treat nests in siding, rooflines, yards, and high-traffic outdoor areas to eliminate colonies and reduce the risk of repeat nesting in treated locations. This service is designed for residential backyards, commercial storefronts, and properties where stinging insects create safety concerns for customers, tenants, or family members.

How Nests Are Located and Treated Safely

We inspect your property in Westchester County or across the five boroughs to locate nests and identify the type of stinging insect present. Our technician checks eaves, soffits, siding, trees, shrubs, decks, and entryways where bees and wasps build nests or burrow into wood. Treatment is applied directly to the nest using products that eliminate the colony quickly, and protective equipment ensures safe removal even when nests are large or difficult to access.

After treatment, stinging insect activity stops within a few hours as the colony is eliminated. The nest is removed if it is accessible, or it remains in place until it is safe to extract without risk of remaining insects.

This service addresses yellow jackets, hornets, paper wasps, and carpenter bees that build nests in or near structures. Timing matters because nests grow throughout summer and become more dangerous as populations increase. Treatment does not prevent all future nesting, but it does reduce the likelihood of wasps returning to the same location. We do not relocate honeybee hives, but we can refer you to a beekeeper if honeybees are present and relocation is preferred over removal.

What You Should Know Before We Arrive

Homeowners and business owners in New Rochelle, Westchester County, and New York City often ask similar questions before scheduling stinging insect removal, especially if nests are located near doors, windows, or outdoor seating areas.

How do I know if I have bees or wasps?
Wasps have smooth bodies, narrow waists, and build paper nests in sheltered areas or underground. Bees are fuzzy, rounder, and often nest in cavities or hives. Both can sting, but wasps are more aggressive when defending nests.

What happens if a nest is inside my wall or siding?
We treat nests inside wall voids or siding by applying product to entry points where insects are entering and exiting. The colony is eliminated, and the nest is left inside the wall where it dries out and does not attract other pests.

When is the best time to remove a wasp nest?
Nests should be removed as soon as they are noticed, especially in spring and early summer when colonies are smaller and less aggressive. Waiting until late summer increases the risk of stings because populations peak in August and September.

How long does stinging insect removal take?
Most treatments are completed in less than an hour, depending on the size and location of the nest. Activity stops within a few hours after treatment, and you can resume using outdoor areas the same day.

Why do wasps keep building nests in the same spot?
Wasps are attracted to sheltered areas with nearby food sources, and they often return to locations where nests have been successful before. Treating and removing nests reduces the chance of repeat activity, but eliminating attractants like open trash or sugary food further discourages nesting.
