Wasps & Stinging Insects

A wasp nest near your door isn't just an annoyance. It's a stinging hazard every time someone walks past.

Holloman Exterminators handles wasp, hornet, yellowjacket, and carpenter bee removal throughout Harnett County and surrounding areas. We locate the nest, eliminate the colony, and treat the area to discourage rebuilding. Fast, safe, and done right.

Stinging Insects We Handle

Not All Stinging Insects Behave the Same

Paper Wasps

Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, and overhangs. Aggressive when disturbed.

Yellowjackets

Often nest underground or inside wall voids. Extremely aggressive defenders, especially in late summer.

Hornets

Large, enclosed paper nests in trees, shrubs, and on structures. Highly aggressive when the nest is threatened.

Carpenter Bees

Bore holes into unpainted or weathered wood: decks, eaves, fascia. Cause structural damage over time and attract woodpeckers.

If you're not sure what you're dealing with, don't try to treat it yourself. Call us.

Why DIY Treatment Is Risky

Over-the-counter sprays can agitate a colony without fully eliminating it, turning a manageable nest into an emergency. Yellowjackets inside a wall void are especially dangerous to treat without the right equipment and protective gear.

Our technicians are trained and equipped to handle stinging insect removal safely, regardless of nest size or location. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.
