Bee Removal* & Wasp Control
|
*Wasp Removal is part of our regular service package, but because Bee Removal is a more delicate process, it requires a small additional fee.
First of all, seek medical help immediately if you have a bee allergy and have been stung!
Even if you aren't allergic, bee stings and wasp bites are painful and irritating. Taking care of these particular pests has a higher element of danger to it so we recommend hiring a professional. Wasp control is part of Pest Control Las Vegas' regular service package and we would be more than happy to visit your home and take care of any nests around your home or property. Bee Removal is a bit more delicate so there is a small additional fee associated with this service. Bees serve a highly useful purpose in every ecosystem, so we don't just want to exterminate them. In most cases we are trying to relocate them to a place where they won't bother us humans as much. We've all bought the can of wasp spray at the grocery store and often it seems to do the job...for a time. But those pesky nests always seem to reappear. That's because there is more involved than just getting rid of the nest. Let the pros at PCLV take care of your Bee and Wasp problem for good. Bee Safe!As tempting as it might seem, throwing rocks or otherwise disturbing these insects is not a good idea. Never tease or annoy a bee or wasp nest. Just like you and I, these guys can be highly aggressive and protective of their homes. Bothering them can result in swarming and painful stings and bites.

The Honey Bee
Color: golden yellow and black
Size: ~1/2 - 3/4 inches long
This bee can only sting once (and only if feeling very threatened). Their stinger has a tiny sack of poison that stays in your skin as they die. They usually nest someplace protected like a tree or some kind of cavity. There can be up to 60,000 bees in one colony. We will not kill these bees at all costs if we can help it, as they are vital to our agriculture and economy.

Yellowjacket Wasps
Color: yellow and black coloring
Size: ~1/2 inch long
Living in cone shaped nests made from papery material and plant fiber. Sometimes their nests can be found underground but mostly hanging from trees or buildings. Numbering in the thousands, these wasps are most aggressive in the late summer. DO NOT KILL these wasps close to their hives! They can sting repeatedly and when killed, they release a pheromone that will tell other yellowjackets in the area they are in trouble.
