Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.

DIY removal risks harming bees and you. Professionals offer safe and effective solutions protecting both parties.

Professional removal preserves bee populations and ensures safe, effective hive relocation, protecting you from stings.
