Bee and Wasp Control Services in Jacksonville
May Exterminating has helped families in Jacksonville and the surrounding Coastal Plain navigate the challenges of sharing their properties with stinging insects. We recognize that for many homeowners, the presence of bees and wasps transforms a peaceful backyard into a zone of anxiety.
Onslow County supports a diverse population of stinging pests, from the solitary Carpenter Bee drilling into your eaves to the aggressive Yellow Jacket concealing its nest in our sandy soil. We approach bee and wasp control with a focus on safety and structural preservation
May Exterminating functions as your local partners in managing these risks. Our licensed Jacksonville bee and wasp control technicians arrive equipped with the protective gear and specialized tools necessary to handle hives and nests safely. We offer same-day service availability because we know that discovering a hornet nest near a doorway or stepping on a ground hive requires immediate attention.

Targeted Solutions for Coastal Stinging Insects
We tailor our exterminating protocols to the specific behavior and nesting habits of the insect, as treating a paper wasp nest requires a different approach than managing a colony of ground-dwelling bees.
- Yellow Jacket Ground Defense: We identify and treat the underground nests often hidden within the sandy soil of Onslow County. Our approach neutralizes the aggressive colony at its source to prevent them from rebuilding near your home.
- Carpenter Bee Structural Protection: Our team treats the active galleries these bees drill into your decks and eaves to stop further wood excavation. We also focus on preventing secondary damage caused by woodpeckers seeking the larvae inside these tunnels.
- Hornet and Wasp Nest Removal: We safely remove the paper nests constructed by Bald-Faced Hornets and Paper Wasps from your rooflines and porches. Our technicians utilize specialized equipment to manage these defensive pests without putting your family at risk.
- Cicada Killer Management: We address the large ground burrows created by these solitary wasps that often disrupt the appearance of lawns and patios. Our treatment discourages them from turning your yard into a nesting ground, restoring the look of your landscape.
Reclaiming Your Outdoors from Stinging Pests
We view stinging insect control as a matter of quality of life. In Eastern North Carolina, outdoor living is a significant part of our culture, from grilling on the patio to playing in the yard. The presence of stinging insects forces families indoors and creates constant worry for parents and pet owners. We address this by inspecting not just the obvious nests, but the hidden harborage areas. We check soffits, attic vents, and dense shrubbery where colonies often remain concealed until they reach a dangerous size. Our goal involves creating a perimeter of safety around your home.
Safety remains our primary operational value during these services. We ask that family members and pets remain indoors during the treatment process to avoid any contact with agitated insects. Our technicians wear full protective suits, allowing them to get close to the nest for precise application of control materials. This targeted approach minimizes the use of products while maximizing effectiveness.
We also take care to differentiate between aggressive pests and beneficial pollinators. While we treat structural threats, we generally refer customers to local beekeepers for the removal of Honeybee swarms, as we prioritize the preservation of these essential agricultural partners whenever possible.
Trust Built on Decades of Local Service
May Exterminating has served the Jacksonville community since 1963, building a reputation for reliability and honest work. We treat every customer like a member of our own family, which means we never recommend a service you do not need. We understand the specific anxieties associated with stinging insects—the fear of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and the pain of a sting.
We respond to these concerns with empathy and efficiency. Our team undergoes regular training to stay current on the safest products and removal techniques available in the industry.
We also understand the transient nature of our military community. Whether you are in a long-term family home or a temporary rental, we offer flexible service options without locking you into confusing, long-term contracts.
We believe that our work should speak for itself. If you notice continued activity after our treatment, we return to address and correct the issue. We aim to earn your trust through consistent results and professional conduct.
