Our signature service
Stinging insects — bees, yellow jackets, hornets and bumblebees.
Nest work is what Dayton calls Bugs Or Us for. Species identified on site, the nest located (not just the entry hole), the void treated, and the entry point pointed out to you so it isn't reused.
Bees
May–Sep peak
Bees around a Dayton home can be honey bees in a wall void, carpenter bees drilling eaves and decks, or bumble bees nesting low in mulch and crawl spaces or wall voids. Correct identification matters — the treatment for each is different, and so is whether the colony should be relocated instead of treated.

Yellow Jackets
Jul–Oct peak
Yellow jackets are the most common emergency call we take in the Miami Valley, and the most dangerous to treat wrong. Colonies build inside wall voids, siding, soffits and old rodent burrows in the yard, then peak in aggression from late July through the first hard frost.

Bald-Faced Hornets
Jul–Oct peak
The gray, top-shaped paper nest in a tree, gutter line or porch corner belongs to bald-faced hornets. They defend the nest aggressively for several feet in every direction and will sting repeatedly — this is not a ladder-and-can-of-spray job.

Bumblebees
May–Sep peak
Bumblebees nest under sidewalks, in mulch beds, under sheds and decks, in old rodent burrows and in insulation along crawl spaces. They are valuable pollinators, but at the nest they are extremely dangerous, so any colony people will encounter has to be exterminated.

How it works
Inspect, treat, protect — on your schedule.
- 01
Inspect
For active infestations, a licensed technician walks the property, identifies the species — no guessing, no template treatment.
- 02
Treat
We use an agricultural-style 100-gallon power sprayer to treat your entire exterior perimeter and foundation line — not just the spots a smaller backpack sprayer can reach. It's the same class of equipment commercial applicators rely on for full-coverage barrier protection, so fewer gaps get missed.
- 03
Protect
Monthly or Quarterly service keeps the barrier current through Ohio's pest seasons — and we return at no charge if necessary.
