Wasps and HornetsItem Link
In Orange County, CA, common bees include European honeybees, Africanized honeybees, bumble bees, carpenter bees, and solitary bees. European honeybees are gentle and kept for honey, while Africanized honeybees are aggressive and quick to swarm. Bumble bees are large, fuzzy pollinators, and carpenter bees resemble them but can damage wood. Solitary bees live alone and are less aggressive.

Ants can be a big problem, especially when they nest in our homes. These pesky ants often invade kitchens, hospitals, and schools, getting into food and sometimes biting or stinging. Special sprays or baits can help get rid of them, but they must be used with utmost care, especially around pets and small children.

In Southern California’s warm climate, these pests thrive in standing water and shaded areas. Our mosquito control solutions target breeding grounds and adult populations to keep your outdoor spaces bite-free and enjoyable year-round.
