Wasps are often mistaken for bees due to their similar appearance, but they are far more aggressive and capable of stinging multiple times. Unlike bees, whose stingers detach after a single sting, wasps have smooth stingers that allow them to strike repeatedly. Their venom is also more potent, making their stings particularly painful and, in some cases, dangerous—especially for individuals with allergies.
These pests are highly opportunistic, establishing nests in areas with easy access to food and water. Common nesting sites include eaves, attics, wall cavities, trees, shrubs, and even underground burrows. Wasps are drawn to gardens, outdoor dining areas, and spaces where food scraps are left exposed. Their presence near homes and gathering areas can pose a significant risk, requiring professional intervention to remove them safely.
We offer follow-up treatments to ensure long-term control, monitoring your property for any signs of recurring wasp activity. If wasps return, we take immediate action to prevent re-infestation.

The Western Yellowjacket is a native species commonly found in natural areas, particularly in foothills and hilly terrains. These wasps are recognized by their distinctive yellow and black coloration and are known for their aggressive behavior, especially when their nests are disturbed. They typically construct their nests underground, often utilizing abandoned rodent burrows. Western Yellowjackets are scavengers, frequently encountered around outdoor eateries, picnics, and garbage areas where they forage for food. Their presence can pose a significant nuisance and potential sting hazard to humans.
The German Yellowjacket, an introduced species, has become well-established in urban areas of Southern California. Similar in appearance to the Western Yellowjacket, they exhibit subtle behavioral differences. German Yellowjackets prefer to nest above ground, often in wall voids, cavities in structures, or under palm fronds. Their nesting habits bring them into closer proximity with humans, increasing the likelihood of encounters. Like their Western counterparts, they are scavengers and can become aggressive when foraging or if their nests are threatened.
At Southland Pest Control, we specialize in professional wasp treatment to keep your home and business safe from these aggressive pests. Our state-licensed technicians conduct thorough property inspections to identify the exact species of wasp, locate nests, and determine their entry points. Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs and budget. This plan eliminates existing infestations while incorporating preventative strategies to keep wasps from returning.
After the initial wasp treatment, we recommend enrolling in our regular wasp control service to maintain long-term protection. Depending on the size of your property and the severity of past infestations, we offer monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly treatment plans. Routine maintenance helps eliminate new nests before they become a problem and ensures your home or business remains wasp-free.

To minimize the risk of a wasp infestation, homeowners should take preventative measures to make their property less attractive to these pests. Follow these steps to deter wasps:
By implementing these simple but effective strategies, you can significantly reduce the chances of wasps nesting around your home.
While DIY wasp treatments may seem like a cost-effective solution, they often fail to fully eliminate the problem. Store-bought sprays and traps may provide temporary relief, but they don’t address the root cause or remove hidden nests. Additionally, attempting to remove a nest yourself can be extremely dangerous, as disturbing a colony can provoke aggressive attacks and multiple stings.
Choosing Southland Pest Control ensures a safe, thorough, and long-term solution. Our trained professionals accurately identify wasp species, locate all nests, and apply targeted treatments to eliminate the infestation. Plus, our ongoing maintenance plans prevent future wasp problems, giving you peace of mind and lasting protection.
