Wasp and hornet removal for Anaheim, where mild winters occasionally let yellowjacket colonies grow far larger than a typical single season nest.
Call (844) 924-1337Most yellowjacket colonies die off each winter, but California's mild winters occasionally let an old queen survive into the following year, and in a Southern California city like Anaheim that can produce what pest professionals call a perennial nest, sometimes growing to tens of thousands of workers instead of the few thousand a normal annual colony reaches. These oversized colonies are both far more aggressive and far larger than what most homeowners expect from a late summer nest.
Because Anaheim's climate is mild enough to allow this kind of overwintering more often than colder states ever see, an unusually large or unusually aggressive yellowjacket nest here deserves a different response than a standard seasonal one.

It depends on the species and where the nest is located, but generally involves treating the nest directly with the right product and protective equipment, then removing it once activity has stopped. Because stinging insects can react defensively, this is usually safer left to a professional, especially for larger or hard-to-reach nests.
Most wasp colonies die off over winter, and an old nest is typically abandoned by the workers that built it. An empty-looking nest may still require assessment; if activity is uncertain, keep your distance and ask about inspection before disturbing it.
Paper wasp nests are often smaller and more exposed, commonly found under eaves or overhangs, but they can still sting if disturbed. Treating the nest directly and removing it once activity stops is the general approach, ideally handled by someone with proper protective equipment.
Locating the nest is the first step, since treating individual wasps without addressing the nest usually just means more show up. Species identification and nest location help determine the appropriate removal approach; avoid disturbing an active nest.
