Wasps and bees can create major problems in homes. These insects often build entire colonies on a residential property. Additionally, bees and wasps could also create hives and nests that are attached to a home’s structures such as the gutters, eaves, door frames, windows frames and railings.

Without a nest, these insects tend to fly away in search of a better place to settle down. Additionally, it may also be important to catch and trap the queens of wasps and bees.
