Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are also known as wood eaters because they cause millions of dollars in damage to residential and commercial buildings throughout Central Florida each year.
Male carpenter bees do not sting, but they are large and aggressive and often found hovering around the nests. Female carpenter bees sting when agitated, which causes redness, pain, and swelling.
You can tell you have carpenter bees when you see:
Large black bees flying around outside your home
Holes bored into wood outside your home
A yellow color at the entrances of the holes
Sawdust on the ground under the holes
Carpenter bees don’t feed on wood but dig tunnels in wood to create their homes, which damages the structural integrity of the wood. The female digs a series of small cells around a ball of pollen to feed their larvae.
The entrances to the tunnels are perfectly round small holes that are bored into soft wood that is unpainted and untreated. Due to the structural damage caused by carpenter bees, it is important to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Wasps & Hornets
Yellow jackets are a type of wasp that has a distinctive yellow coloring and aggressive behavior. Florida is home to two species: the eastern yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket.
Their presence can be beneficial because they prey on ants and other insects. However, colonies can grow extremely large and their stings can be dangerous, or even deadly, for some people.
Yellow jackets nest above and below ground and may be found near or in:
Sheds
Carports
Garages
Outdoor garbage cans
Bushes
Holes in the ground made by rodents
Hornets build their nests above ground and become aggressive when disturbed. While honeybees can sting only once, hornets can keep stinging.
This can become extremely dangerous when their nests are located in areas that are frequently occupied by people. Regardless of the species that has invaded your space, we offer cost-effective and reliable bee and wasp control in Auburndale.
Signs You May Have Wasp Or Hornets:
Notice The Beginning of A Nest - Was and hornet nests can be hard to identify before they are fully built. You might notice small little things that would be a sign of them creating their nest.

"I recommend you every chance I get"
First of all I have Vince and he was last at my home on February 21 and always does an excellent job. He seems very thorough and very professional. I know I don’t have watch him because he has integrity and pride in his job. I appreciate his hard work.
I also want to mention that Jeff does my mother‘s home in 4 Lakes golf club and her name is Karen Johnson. He came to my mom‘s home to do a service and rang the doorbell. He was talking to my mom for a little bit and after he left, I asked her who was at the door. She said “that’s Jeff my friend and he also does my yard and he’s from COUNTRY BOY. He always checks on me every time he’s here and he wants to know that I’m OK. He also sprays every inch of my yard and I don’t have to worry if it was done right” She said “I would never have anyone else do my yard because I love when Jeff comes to check on me.” I just thought I would mention this because it just made my heart so happy to know that somebody cares enough to check on my 88-year-old mother.
I appreciate your company so much and I’ve had you all coming to me for about four years at my current residence and then previously when I lived at 4 Lakes so it’s a total of eight years. You all are exemplary, professional and I appreciate everything that you do for our family. I recommend you every chance I get.
You are a caring company and you are honest. I can’t say that about every company these days.We appreciate you so much and I thank all of you for your service.
