Wasps, yellowjackets and other stinging insects build nests under eaves, in shrubs, inside wall voids and around patios across Southern California. Activity peaks from late spring through fall, when colonies are largest and workers are out searching for food around outdoor dining areas and trash cans.
Some species defend their nests aggressively, so it is best to keep your distance and avoid spraying or blocking an entrance yourself. Use the guides below to identify the stinging insects around your home, and contact Admiral Pest Control, serving Orange and LA counties since 1947, for safe nest removal.
I am completely satisfied with the services performed by Admiral Pest Control at my home for over 15 years. The inspection today was completed by Jeffrey; he completed a very thorough job of inspection and was super professional, very friendly and courteous. Highly recommended to anyone that wants termite and pest control services.

Aldo came by to service my property. He was polite, professional, and answered my questions regarding getting our property serviced. He was able to sweep potential areas that might have critters and the sprayed repellent for our quarterly treatment. Appreciate his professionalism and representation of this company.
