“Large nest appeared under our front eave — couldn’t be happier with the service.”
— Eagle Harbor homeowner, Doctors Lake
That Nest Is Bigger Than It Looks
Fast-acting pest control is critical because wasp colonies grow fast in North Florida’s heat — a small nest today can hold hundreds of insects by week’s end.
✓
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times. They don’t lose their stinger or die after a single puncture.
✓
Accidental disturbance triggers a swarm immediately — a lawnmower, a ladder, a slammed door.
✓
Yellow jackets nest underground and give almost no warning. You may not see the entrance until it’s too late.
✓
Store-bought sprays rarely reach the queen. The colony rebuilds and comes back more aggressive.
✓
For anyone with a venom allergy, a single sting is a medical emergency.
If you’ve spotted a nest or noticed wasps returning to the same spot, call now.
Professional Wasp & Hornet Removal in Jacksonville
We specialize in complete wasp nest removal for all stinging insect species found throughout North Florida.
Paper Wasps
The most common stinging insect in North Florida. Paper wasps build upside-down, open umbrella-like honeycomb nests under eaves, soffits, porch ceilings, deck railings, shutters, and fence posts. While less aggressive when left alone, they will sting repeatedly if their nest is disturbed during routine outdoor chores like opening a door, power washing, or trimming hedges.
Bald-Faced Hornets
Technically a species of aerial yellow jacket, bald-faced hornets build large, teardrop-shaped gray paper nests in tree limbs, thick hedges, or high roof eaves. Extremely protective of their colony, they fiercely defend their space and will chase threats across long distances. DIY removal of these large aerial nests carries a high risk of severe stinging.
Yellow Jackets
Highly aggressive and dangerous, yellow jackets are a top concern for North Florida homeowners in late summer and fall. They frequently nest underground in old rodent burrows, inside exterior wall voids, or near landscape beds. Because they swarm and sting en masse when stepped on or disturbed by lawnmowers, professional ground and void treatment is essential.
Mud Daubers
From solitary mud daubers building organ-pipe mud tubes in garages and lanais to vibrant red paper wasps nesting around metal structures and fence railings, North Florida sees a wide range of nest types. While mud daubers rarely sting, their abandoned nests attract spiders and secondary pests, making complete removal necessary.
Bug-Man has found nests in every corner of Jacksonville properties for over 50 years.
Where We Remove Wasp Nests in Jacksonville
Providing pest control in Jacksonville for over 50 years means Bug-Man has found nests in places most homeowners never think to check:
✓
Under roof eaves and soffits — the most common location for paper wasps
✓
Inside mailboxes and around mailbox posts
✓
On or near playsets and swing sets
✓
Under patio furniture — table undersides, chair frames, umbrella poles
✓
Along lanai and screen enclosure frames — especially at corner joints
✓
In garden sheds — rafters, behind stored equipment, inside walls
✓
On fence posts and gate hardware
✓
In shrubs, hedges, and low tree branches
✓
Underground in the lawn or near landscape beds — a favorite burrowing spot for the cicada killer wasp.
✓
Inside wall voids — accessible through weep holes or exterior gaps
If wasps are returning to the same spot, there is almost certainly an active nest nearby. Call Bug-Man and we will find it.

Led by an owner with a Master’s degree in Entomology from the University of Florida, we are the go-to wasp exterminators Jacksonville trusts. We don’t just spray the surface; we understand how different species behave in North Florida’s heat. From targeted wasp control to safely eliminating the colony and removing the nest structure, we make sure they don’t return.
We Are Licensed, Insured, and Fast
Every Bug-Man technician is licensed by the State of Florida and fully insured. We offer same-day service when the schedule allows.
How Bug-Man Removes Wasp Nests
Inspect — As part of our comprehensive pest control services, we locate the nest, assess the colony size, and check for secondary activity nearby.
Identify — We confirm the species. Paper wasp, yellow jacket, hornet, and mud dauber each require a different approach.
Treat — Our Jacksonville wasp technicians apply professional-grade products that reach the core of the colony, not just the nest surface.
Remove — Once the colony is eliminated, we remove the nest structure where safely accessible.
Verify — We do a secondary check to confirm no remaining live activity.
Prevent — We provide advice on reducing re-nesting and offer optional mosquito, fire ant, lawn insect, or termite protection.
Safe Wasp Removal in Jacksonville for Families and Pets
Our wasp treatment and removal methods focus on targeted applications rather than unnecessary broad yard spraying. We treat specific areas like eaves, soffits, rooflines, screen enclosures, and other likely nesting spots with residual products. Once dry, these treated areas are completely safe for normal outdoor activities — kids playing in the yard, dogs running around, and normal household use. Your technician will confirm the re-entry time and any specific instructions before leaving.

Jacksonville Wasp Removal FAQs
Common questions about removing wasps and wasp nests in Jacksonville.
How much does wasp nest removal cost in Jacksonville?
It depends on the nest size, species, and location. Bug-Man gives you a straight quote before starting — call 904-289-7171 for a fast estimate over the phone.
Can I remove a wasp nest myself?
For any established nest, ground nest, or nest near where children or pets are active, professional removal is the right call. A disturbed colony does not always respond predictably.
Do you remove yellow jacket ground nests?
Yes. Ground nest removal requires the right product applied correctly at the entrance to eliminate the colony below. We handle this regularly and do not recommend homeowners attempt it on their own.
How quickly can Bug-Man come out?
We offer same-day service throughout Jacksonville when the schedule allows. Call 904-289-7171 and we’ll do our best to get out that day. If you have a known allergy or children and pets near the nest, mention it when you call and we will prioritize accordingly.
Will the wasps come back after removal?
The eliminated colony is gone. However, next season a new queen may scout the same location if conditions haven’t changed. We advise every customer on what attracted wasps to that spot and how to reduce re-nesting.
Do you remove all types of wasp and hornet nests?
Yes — paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, yellow jackets including ground nests, and mud daubers. We handle nests on structures, in trees, inside screen enclosures, in sheds, on fences, and underground.
What if I can't see a nest but wasps keep returning to the same spot?
Repeated activity in one location almost always points to an active nest — sometimes inside a wall void, a soffit gap, or underground. Bug-Man’s Jacksonville technicians are trained to locate nests that are not immediately visible.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Bug-Man Pest Control is fully licensed by the State of Florida and carries complete liability insurance. Our technicians are trained professionals — you know who is coming to your home.
Ready to Take Your Yard Back?
You should not have to avoid your mailbox, delay mowing, or keep the kids off the patio because of a wasp nest. Trust our local pest control services to handle it. One call. We come out. The nest is gone.
Connect with our team—we’ll get a technician scheduled fast. Reliable, same-day pest control services are available for all urgent wasp issues.
