Insecticide Application for Bees and Wasps

How Does The Application Work?

Our residual insecticide treatment focuses on indirectly killing the entire colony — not just the workers you see. Here’s how the process works:

Inspection and Identification:

• We begin with a thorough inspection to locate the entry points — these are usually small gaps in siding, vents, roof eaves, or even cracks in foundations.

• While the nest itself might be hidden inside a wall, underground, or in an attic, we identify the spots where bees or wasps are flying in and out.

Application of Residual Insecticide:

• We apply a specialized insecticide spray or dust directly into the entry points.

• Spray treatment: Leaves a thin coating of residual insecticide on surfaces, which clings to the insects' bodies when they pass through.

• Dust treatment: Penetrates deeper into cracks and crevices, ideal for nests hidden inside walls or underground.

Poisoning the Colony:

• As bees or wasps return to the nest, they unknowingly carry the insecticide on their bodies.

• The poison spreads to other colony members, including the queen, ensuring a complete kill over time.

Monitoring and Follow-Up:

• Over the next few days, you’ll notice a gradual decline in insect activity as the colony collapses.

• If necessary, we schedule a follow-up visit to reapply the treatment or seal entry points once the colony is eliminated.

This method is highly effective because it doesn’t just kill the workers — it destroys the nest from the inside out.

Why Choose This Method?

Residual insecticide treatment is the best choice for eliminating hidden bee and wasp nests. Here’s why many homeowners and businesses prefer this method:

✅ Targets Hidden Nests: Perfect for nests inside walls, roof voids, or underground where physical nest removal isn’t possible.

✅ Kills the Queen: By poisoning worker bees and wasps, the insecticide spreads throughout the colony, ensuring the queen is eliminated — stopping the reproduction cycle.

✅ Long-Lasting Effects: Residual sprays and dust remain active for weeks, preventing new colonies from forming in the same spot.

✅ Minimal Disturbance: This method doesn’t require invasive work — no need to tear down walls or dig up your yard.

✅ Safe and Effective: Our treatments are applied by trained professionals using industry-approved products — effective against bees and wasps but safe for your family and pets once dry.

If you’re dealing with wasps flying in and out of small holes or hearing buzzing inside your walls, this is the treatment you need.

What to Expect?

When you book a residual insecticide application with Technica Pest Solutions, here’s what the process looks like:

Consultation: We gather details about the infestation and schedule a visit.

On-Site Inspection: Our technician identifies entry points and assesses the severity of the issue.

Treatment Application: We apply insecticide spray or dust directly into the entry points — with minimal disruption to your property.

Post-Treatment Guidance: We explain what to expect in the coming days, including a gradual decrease in bee or wasp activity.

Follow-Up (Optional): If needed, we schedule a follow-up visit to confirm the colony is completely eradicated and seal off entry points.

You may notice:

• Increased activity for the first 24-48 hours as bees or wasps react to the treatment.

• Steady decline in activity over 3-7 days as the poison spreads through the colony.

• Full elimination within 7-14 days, depending on the size of the nest.

We also advise against sealing entry points immediately — doing so too soon can trap wasps inside, causing them to find new ways into your home.

Typical Cost

The cost of our residual insecticide treatment depends on a few key factors:

• Location of the nest (inside walls, rooflines, or underground)

• Number of entry points requiring treatment

• Size of the colony

On average, prices start at $150.

We provide a clear, upfront quote during the inspection — with no hidden fees. For more severe infestations or hard-to-reach nests, we’ll discuss any additional costs before proceeding.

Is Nest Removal Right for You?

This method is ideal if:
✔️ The nest is hidden — behind walls, under floors, in attics, or underground.
✔️ You’ve noticed constant activity at entry points but can’t see the nest itself.
✔️ You want a non-invasive solution without damaging your property.
✔️ You prefer long-lasting protection to prevent new colonies from forming.
✔️ There’s no safe way to access the nest physically for removal.

It may not be suitable if:
❌ The nest is fully exposed and easily accessible — in which case, physical nest removal may be faster.
