Baltimore Wasp & Hornet Control
The Best Baltimore Wasp & Hornet Control Service
Finding a wasp or hornet nest on your property isn’t just unsettling — it can be genuinely dangerous. These stinging insects are highly territorial and will aggressively defend their nests, putting your family, pets, and guests at risk. At Queen “B” Pest Services, we provide safe, professional wasp and hornet removal throughout Baltimore, MD and the surrounding communities.
Baltimore is home to several stinging insect species, including paper wasps, yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, and European hornets. Each builds different types of nests — in eaves, underground, inside walls, or hanging from trees — and each requires a specific removal approach. Attempting to remove a nest on your own is one of the most common causes of serious stings, and without the right protective equipment and treatments, you could make the situation much worse.
When you need wasp and hornet control in Baltimore, trust the professionals at Queen “B” to get it done safely and completely.
How to Prevent Wasps and Hornets Around Your Baltimore Home
While some nests appear seemingly out of nowhere, there are steps you can take to make your property less attractive to stinging insects before they set up shop.
Seal entry points
Wasps and hornets often build nests inside wall voids, attics, and crawl spaces. Seal gaps around soffits, eaves, rooflines, and utility penetrations to eliminate potential nesting sites.
Remove food sources
Open trash cans, outdoor pet food, fallen fruit, and sugary drinks attract yellow jackets and other wasps. Keep lids tight and clean up food and beverages after outdoor gatherings.
Inspect early in the season
Queens begin building new nests in early spring when they’re still small and easier to address. Check your property regularly in April and May before colonies grow large and aggressive.
Don’t wait until a nest becomes a full-blown colony. The sooner you act, the safer the removal.
Our Wasp & Hornet Control Process
Wasp and hornet removal is not a DIY job. Queen “B” Pest Services follows a careful, proven process to eliminate nests safely — protecting you, your family, and our technicians every step of the way.
Step 1 — Inspection
Our technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to locate all active nests and identify the species involved. Wasps and hornets can build nests in hard-to-see locations — under decks, inside walls, underground, and along rooflines — and we won’t miss them.
Step 2 — Containment
Before treatment begins, we identify the activity patterns of the colony and take precautions to protect the surrounding area. Our technicians use proper protective equipment and position themselves to treat nests safely and effectively.
Step 3 — Targeted Treatment
We apply EPA-registered treatments directly to the nest and surrounding areas, eliminating the colony at the source. Treatment methods vary based on nest location and species — what works for a paper wasp nest under an eave is different from treating a yellow jacket colony underground.
Step 4 — Follow-Up & Prevention
After treatment, we’ll advise you on nest removal timing (treated nests should not be disturbed immediately) and provide guidance on preventing future colonies from forming in the same location. We can also schedule follow-up visits if new activity is detected.
