Bee Removal in Fort Myers
Targeted Bee & Wasp Control for Fort Myers Properties
Visible nests, repeated insect activity around an entryway, or bees moving into the same wall or roof opening can call for professional attention. Paper wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, carpenter bees, and honey bees behave differently, so identifying the insect and its nesting site matters before treatment begins.
At Security Termite & Pest Control, we provide bee and wasp control for Fort Myers properties. We identify the stinging insect and nesting location, then select treatment based on the pest involved and where the nest is established. Activity near eaves, soffits, patios, sheds, trees, or exterior wood may require a different response than activity inside a wall void or attic.

Identifying Stinging Insects Around Fort Myers Properties
Stinging insects can establish nests close to outdoor living areas and structural openings. Repeated bees entering one opening may indicate a colony in a protected space, such as a wall, soffit, or roofline. Avoid disturbing a hidden or elevated nest, since insects may become defensive when their colony is threatened.
- Paper Wasps: Often build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, behind shutters, or on other sheltered surfaces.
- Yellow Jackets: May build nests in the ground or wall voids and can become defensive near the nest.
- Hornets: Can build enclosed paper nests in trees or on structures.
- Carpenter Bees: Create round entry holes and galleries in exposed wood, including siding, decks, and fascia.
- Honey Bees: Swarms may settle temporarily, while established colonies inside walls or attics require careful handling.
If you need a wasp exterminator in Fort Myers, our technicians assess the species and nesting location rather than treating every insect problem the same way. This helps us plan around the active nest and the areas where people spend time.

How We Treat Bee & Wasp Nests in Fort Myers
We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an approach that combines pest identification, targeted treatment, and prevention recommendations. Our process for managing stinging insects begins with the nest location and the insect involved.
- Identification: We first identify the species and locate nesting sites on your property.
- Strategic Treatment: Based on the pest and nest location, we select the most appropriate treatment.
- Nest Removal: After the colony is no longer active, we remove accessible nests.
- Carpenter Bee Solutions: For carpenter bees, our treatment focuses on the wood galleries they excavate and may include preventative applications to treated areas.
- Exclusion and Prevention: We recommend exclusion techniques, such as sealing entry points or addressing wood repairs.
Wasp removal in Fort Myers can involve an exposed nest, an underground nest, a wall void, or carpenter bee galleries in structural wood. Those locations require different treatment planning and shouldn’t be sealed or removed while insects are active.
The Risks of DIY Nest Removal
Attempting to remove a stinging insect colony on your own can increase sting risk, particularly when the nest is hidden, high above ground, or near a frequently used entrance. Our licensed technicians use protective equipment and equipment designed for managing active nests.
Over-the-counter sprays may not reach insects inside concealed nesting spaces or address the entry points that allow activity to continue. Keep a safe distance from an active nest and avoid hitting, sealing, or spraying it before receiving professional guidance.

Prevention Steps for Bee & Wasp Activity
After active stinging-insect activity has been addressed, routine property maintenance can reduce common food sources, water sources, and entry opportunities. These steps can lower the chance of insects establishing near frequently used outdoor areas, but they can’t guarantee that bees or wasps won’t return.
- Manage Food and Trash: Keep outdoor trash containers closed and remove food and drink residue from patios and gathering areas.
- Seal Structural Gaps: Inspect gaps around windows, siding, rooflines, and soffits, then seal appropriate entry points.
- Maintain Landscaping: Trim vegetation that touches or overhangs structures where nests may be established.
- Address Water Sources: Correct leaking outdoor faucets and manage standing water near outdoor living areas.
If you find an accessible exterior wasp nest or see repeated activity near your home, note where the insects are entering and whether the nest is easy to see. Share those details when you request service so we can better understand the situation.
