Stinging Insects in the Fresno Area
California is home to several stinging insect species that nest on structures, in the ground, and in wall voids. Yellow jackets frequently nest underground or in wall cavities, making them especially dangerous to remove without professional equipment.
Yellow jackets become highly aggressive in late summer as colony populations peak. DIY removal attempts frequently result in multiple stings and an unresolved problem.

- Visible nest under eaves, in trees, or on structures
- Increased wasp activity near a specific area
