Beaverton Pest Control for Wasps & Bees

Keeping Northwest Oregon & Southwest Washington Yards in Safe from Stings

Many people have had the unfortunate experience of being stung by a wasp or bee. The pain is sudden and can last for minutes at a time. To make matters worse, bee allergies are common and can cause serious conditions, such as anaphylactic shock. Wasps and bees are plentiful in and around the Portland and Vacouver areas, and at Halt Pest Control, we want to make sure that your summer picnics and outdoor activities are enjoyed unbothered. With over 25 years of experience and a commitment to providing personalized pest control solutions, we understand what it takes to exterminate bee and wasp colonies from your home.

Keeping You Safe from Harm

Bee and wasp stings are not only painful, they can also be deadly. While bees and wasps don't actively search for people to sting, they will often attack if they feel threatened. Due to the dangers that bees and wasps present, it is highly recommended that you seek the professional services of Halt Pest Control. Our Portland bee and wasp exterminators are qualified to get the job done efficiently and safely.

Common Bee Species in Our Local Area

The three most common species of bees and wasps in Northwest Oregon & Southwest Washington are:

• Honeybees: The most prevalent species of bees, the honeybee is known for traveling far distances to defend their hive when feeling threatened. Honeybees are protected by law in Oregon and Washington so we're not typically able to remove them, but we're happy to help you identify them and can refer you to a honeybee expert if needed.
• Yellowjackets: Easily identified by their yellow and black exterior, yellowjackets are known for having an extremely painful stinger.
• Hornets: Hornets are known to attack individuals who disturb their hives and when another hornet is killed. Unlike honeybees, hornets do not lose their stinger after one sting.
