Why San Diego Properties Need Specialist Stinging-Insect Services
San Diego’s temperate weather and diverse urban/wildland interface attract a variety of stinging insects year-round. Yellow jackets and paper wasps build nests in eaves, attics, ground burrows and landscape features. Bald-faced hornets and larger hornet species aggressively defend their aerial nests. Honey bees are beneficial pollinators and often nest in walls or trees — they require careful handling and, when possible, relocation rather than destruction.
General store-bought sprays can make nests more dangerous, scatter aggressive insects, and fail to prevent re-infestation. Our licensed technicians combine identification, targeted removal, exclusion, and habitat modification to keep your home or business safe.
Our Approach — Inspection, Identification, Solution
- Comprehensive Inspection
We begin with a thorough property inspection to locate nests (attic voids, soffits, ground holes, trees, crawlspaces) and identify species. Correct identification tells us whether a colony should be relocated (honey bees) or removed (hornets/wasps) and informs safety measures. - Safety-First Removal
Safety is our top priority. For aggressive nests we use industry-standard protective gear and targeted treatments timed to minimize risk (often early morning or after dusk). For ground-nesting yellow jackets we apply specialized baiting and nest treatments to eliminate the colony without needless disturbance. - Bee Relocation & Conservation
Whenever feasible, we coordinate humane honey bee removal and relocation with local beekeepers. Conserving pollinators is better for the environment and often required by local ordinances. - Nest Removal & Cleanup
After treatment we remove and dispose of nest material when safe to do so, reducing the chance that returning insects reuse or re-establish the site. We also clean affected areas to remove pheromone traces that attract new colonies. - Exclusion & Prevention
We seal entry points, install screens, recommend landscape changes, and advise on waste management and structural repairs to make your property unattractive to future colonies. - Follow-up & Warranty
Cartwright stands behind our work. We schedule follow-ups to confirm elimination and offer ongoing maintenance plans for high-risk properties or commercial locations.

Next Day Inspection
As a Realtor for over 38 years, we have many choices but also see a lot of botched termite work. So when I sold my client a home in El Cajon, I checked yelp for recommendations. When I called Cartwright Termite Company, a friendly lady answered the phone. In spite of busy holiday hours, Aaron responded with a next day inspection. Got the house tented and repair was made within a few days later. Thank you Cartwright for your prompt, friendly and efficient service

My mother and I both have Cartwright Pest Control at our homes. They provide excellent service at a great price. They are always very responsive; every time I have had fire ants they are out there within 24 hours and typically the same day to treat. I would highly recommend them for your personal or commercial needs
