The Problem in South Florida
Stinging insects thrive in our long warm season. Paper wasps build under eaves, soffits, patio ceilings and grills; yellowjackets nest in wall voids and ground cavities; and honey bee colonies can move into a soffit or wall and stay for years, leaving comb and honey that attracts other pests long after the bees are gone.
This is the one pest problem where DIY is genuinely dangerous. Disturbed colonies defend aggressively, ladders and stings are a bad combination, and anyone in the household with an allergy is at real risk. Call us and stay clear of the nest.
Signs You Have a Problem
- Steady insect traffic in and out of one specific spot in the structure
- Visible paper nests under eaves, soffits, grills or patio ceilings
- Buzzing or humming heard inside a wall or ceiling
- Aggressive insects near a doorway, pool cage or play area
- Sudden stings while mowing, often a ground nest
- Dark staining on a wall or ceiling from honey seepage
How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It
Every treatment uses EPA-approved products applied by licensed, insured and bonded technicians, safe for pets and family when the label and our re-entry guidance are followed.
- 1
Safe identification
We determine the species first, because honey bees, wasps, hornets and yellowjackets each require a different and legally distinct approach.
- 2
Protective treatment
Licensed technicians in full protective equipment treat the nest at the correct time of day to minimize risk to your family.
- 3
Nest removal
Accessible nests are physically removed so they can't be reoccupied or attract secondary pests.
- 4
Comb and cavity guidance
For colonies inside a structure we advise on comb and honey removal, because leftover comb draws roaches, ants and beetles.
- 5
Prevention
We treat common nesting points and identify voids and openings to seal so next season starts clean.
