Bee Hive Removal 

If our pest control specialist determines a colony of honey bees is set up on your property, we’ll ask you to work with a local beekeeper to safely remove the hive, as we do not treat honey bees. If the beehive poses a customer safety issue, Miller Pest & Termite will attempt to remove the nest and deliver it to a local beekeeper ourselves.

Scott and Kent came out to access a rodent issue in my back yard. They are very knowledgeable about the type of rodent and how to get rid of the problem. They were also very very professional and the customer service was the best I've seen in a very long time. I definitely will recommend them hands down! What an excellent job! Keep up the good work you two!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Stinging Insect Control FAQs

When are yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets active?

Stinging insects are active at the worst time of year. When the weather is nice, you want to spend time outdoors. Not only that, as the summer goes on, colonies will reach peak numbers, and when their natural food sources are depleted, workers will start foraging for food. Late summer and early fall are when Midwest property owners should pay even closer attention to stinging insects on their properties.

How can I prevent wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets?

While a professional is your best and most effective option for stinging insect control, there are a few steps you can take to make your home safer against these dangerous pests.

To help make your home and yard less attractive to stinging insects, you can:

  • Keep a tight-fitting lid or lock on all trash cans and compost bins around your home
  • Clean up any leftover food or drinks after eating outside
  • Keep trees, bushes, and shrubs off the exterior of your home
  • Place tight-fitting caps on all chimneys—this helps keep rodents, wildlife, and other pests out as well
What are common nesting sites for wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets?

Common nesting sites include, but are not limited to:

  • Attics
  • Hollow tree trunks
  • Underground in abandoned rodent burrows
  • Inside HVACs
  • Behind window shutters
  • Treetops
  • Under the edge of roofs
  • Beneath decks and patios
  • On playground equipment, swings and toys
