Our Approach to Bee & Wasp Removal
At Compass Pest Management, we prioritize safety and effectiveness in all our pest control services. Here's how we approach bee and wasp removal:
- Thorough Inspection: We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to locate all active nests, assess the severity of the infestation, and identify potential entry points for future infestations.

- Nest Removal: Our experienced technicians safely remove nests using appropriate methods, minimizing the risk of stings to both humans and the environment.
- Chemical Treatments: In some cases, targeted insecticide applications may be necessary to eliminate existing colonies and prevent future infestations.
- Exclusion Techniques: We can help you seal potential entry points for bees and wasps, such as cracks in your foundation, gaps around windows and doors, and holes in screens.
- Preventive Measures: We'll provide valuable tips and guidance on how to prevent future bee and wasp problems, such as:
- Properly disposing of garbage and recycling.
- Keeping food and drinks covered.
- Eliminating standing water sources.
- Regularly trimming trees and shrubs near your home.
- Sealing cracks and crevices in your home's exterior.
The Dangers of Ignoring Bee & Wasp Nests

- Health Risks: In severe cases, bee or wasp stings can trigger anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
- Property Damage: Some wasps, like paper wasps and mud daubers, build nests on structures, potentially causing damage to your home's exterior.
- Increased Anxiety: The constant threat of stings can create a stressful and uncomfortable environment for you and your family.

Tips to Prevent Bee & Wasp Stings
Stinging insects may still create a nest in or around your property despite your best prevention efforts. Avoidance is not always possible, so understanding the steps involved in avoiding stings is paramount to staying safe.
Here are some tips to prevent the risk of being stung by bees or wasps:
- Don't go near the nest.
- If you have a bee or wasp infestation, wear closed shoes, long sleeves, and long pants when heading outside.
- Avoid wearing cologne or scented lotions.
- If you get stung, stay as calm and quiet as possible. Slowly step away from the bee or wasp and leave the area.
- Remove the stinger from your skin by scraping or flicking it off. Avoid gripping or squeezing the stinger in an attempt to pull it out, as it may only add more venom to the wound.
- If stung in your arm or leg, lower it to prevent the venom from spreading faster.
Be aware of peak activity seasons, typically in late summer and fall, when stinging insects are most active. Regular maintenance of your home's exterior can discourage nesting, such as sealing possible entry points and clearing away debris that could shelter nests. It's also beneficial to keep trash bins covered, as sweet-scented items attract bees and wasps.
If you are stung by a bee and do not have any known allergic reactions, you can manage the pain and swelling with over-the-counter medications. However, if you have a history of insect allergies and venom reactions, it would be wise to seek medical help right away.
