Residential Wasp Control & Removal 

Wasps, hornets, and bees are more than just an outdoor annoyance—they can pose a serious threat to your family, pets, and guests. In San Diego’s warm climate, stinging insects remain active nearly year-round, building nests under eaves, inside walls, in attics, and around patios and yards. One disturbed nest can quickly turn a peaceful home into a dangerous situation.

Why Wasps Are a Major Problem for San Diego Homes

San Diego’s mild weather allows wasps and hornets to thrive. Common species such as yellow jackets, paper wasps, and hornets aggressively defend their nests and will sting repeatedly when threatened. These nests are often found in:

• Roof eaves and soffits
• Attics and wall voids
• Garages and sheds
• Trees, fences, and pergolas
• Ground burrows and landscaping

Unlike bees, wasps do not die after stinging, making them especially dangerous for children, pets, and anyone allergic to stings. Store-bought sprays often make matters worse by scattering the insects and triggering attacks—without eliminating the nest.

Professional wasp control is the only safe and effective solution.

Our Residential Wasp Removal Process

Cartwright follows a proven, safety-first approach to permanently eliminate wasp problems while preventing them from coming back.

1. Thorough Inspection & Identification

We locate all active nests and entry points and identify the species involved. This tells us whether the insects are wasps, hornets, or honey bees—and determines the safest and most effective treatment plan.

2. Safe, Targeted Treatment

Our licensed technicians use professional-grade equipment and protective gear to remove aggressive wasp and hornet colonies. Treatments are carefully timed, often early morning or after dusk, when insects are less active.

3. Bee-Safe Relocation

If honey bees are present, we arrange humane removal and relocation with local beekeepers whenever possible. Bees are vital pollinators and should never be exterminated when relocation is an option.

4. Nest Removal & Decontamination

Once the colony is eliminated, we remove the nest and clean the area to erase pheromones that attract new wasps back to the same spot.

5. Exclusion & Prevention

We seal cracks, install screens, recommend landscaping changes, and eliminate attractants so your home stays protected long after treatment.

6. Follow-Up & Warranty

We back our work with follow-up service and optional maintenance plans to keep your home stinging-insect free.
