Bee & Wasp Control in Bluffdale
Safe, Local Help for Stinging Insects in the Greater Salt Lake City Area
Standard Pest Control is a local, family-owned pest control company focused on removing pest infestations and preventing them from returning to restore your peace of mind. Bees and wasps like to build nests under eaves, in rooflines, and around outdoor gathering areas. These pests can cause painful stings, property damage, and considerable stress, especially for those who may be allergic. We use products labeled safe for use on and around your property, and we design every treatment with kids and pets in mind.
When you contact us about a bee or wasp problem, we respond within 24 hours so you are not left waiting days while the nest keeps growing. We also offer free inspections, so you can understand what is going on and what it will take to treat it before you commit to anything. As a family business, our name is on every job we do, and we work hard to keep that name tied to reliable service and a strong local reputation.

What To Do When You Find a Bee or Wasp Nest
Finding a nest can be unsettling, especially if you have young children, pets, or employees coming and going. Taking a few simple steps right away can help keep everyone safe while you arrange professional help.
First, keep a safe distance from the nest and guide kids and pets away from the area. Do not poke, spray, or knock down the nest, even if it looks small. Disturbing a colony can make the insects defensive and increase the risk of stings. If the nest is near a path you use often, try to reroute foot traffic until a technician has inspected it.
From a safe distance, you can observe where the bees or wasps are going in and out, which can help us understand how they are using the structure. If it is safe to do so, you can also take a clear photo and text it to us for free bug identification. Our team can often tell from a photo whether you are dealing with bees, wasps, or another insect, and we explain what that typically means for removal options.
The most important step is to contact our professionals as soon as you notice a nest. Colonies tend to grow over time and can move deeper into walls, rooflines, or other protected areas if they are left alone. We offer a free inspection so you know what you are dealing with and what it will take to address it. There is no obligation to move forward until you are comfortable with the plan.
How Our Bee & Wasp Control Process Works
When you call or message Standard Pest Control about a nest, we want you to know exactly what will happen next. A clear process helps reduce some of the stress in an already tense situation and lets you plan for our visit with confidence.
Talk With Our Team
We start with a conversation about what you are seeing. Our team will ask simple questions about where the activity is, how long you have noticed it, and whether anyone in the household or workplace has allergies to stings. If you are comfortable sending a photo, we use that to help identify what type of stinging insect we are likely dealing with.
Free On-Site Inspection
Next, we schedule a free inspection. When our technician arrives, they walk the property with you and look for nests, entry points, and conditions that might be attracting bees or wasps. This often includes examining eaves, rooflines, decks, play structures, fences, and areas around exterior lights or trash enclosures. We explain what we find as we go, in straightforward terms, so you understand where the problem is coming from.
Safe, Targeted Treatment
Once we have identified the insect type and the nest location, we recommend a treatment approach tailored to your property. Our bee and wasp control services use products that are effective against colonies and are labeled for use around homes and businesses. We pay close attention to areas where kids and pets spend time, such as patios and yards, and we provide simple steps to follow after treatment, like keeping certain zones clear for a short time.
Ongoing Comfort & Support
In addition to treating the active nest, we also look at ways to reduce the chances of future nests forming in the same spots. That might include pointing out gaps where insects are getting into voids or explaining which features tend to attract them. Our satisfaction guarantee supports you after the visit, and if you have questions or concerns, we work with you to address them so you feel comfortable using your space again.
Bee & Wasp Activity in the Greater Salt Lake City Area
Living along the Wasatch Front means enjoying plenty of sunny days and time outside, and that same climate can be attractive to bees and wasps. Around Bluffdale, we often see nests appear where buildings and landscaping create sheltered, warm spots with easy access to food and water.
On homes, nests frequently turn up under roof eaves, in soffits, behind siding, or attached to decks and play structures. We also see activity around attic vents and in gaps where utilities go into the house. In commercial settings, wasps often choose awnings, entry canopies, light fixtures, or sheltered corners near loading areas and dumpsters.
Just as earwigs like to slip inside through small cracks and crevices in search of dry, warm places, bees and wasps look for protected spaces where they can build and expand a colony. Newer construction in and around town can have small settling gaps, and established neighborhoods may have aging trim or siding that creates inviting cavities. Our team works in these conditions every day, so we are familiar with the patterns we tend to see from property to property.
What Sets Our Local Team Apart?
Many people who contact us have worked with larger national pest control companies in the past and felt like just another account. As a family business, we look at every visit as part of a long-term relationship, not a one-time transaction. Our goal is to be the team you think of whenever something with wings or stingers makes your property feel less comfortable.
We put a lot of focus on communication. Our technicians take the time to show you what we see and explain what each treatment will do, using everyday language rather than technical terms. That way, you know why we are treating certain areas, what results you can expect, and how to make the most of the service by following the simple suggestions we provide.
Customers regularly tell us in reviews that they notice the difference in how we work. They talk about punctual arrivals, thorough sprays that leave fewer bugs around the house, and technicians who answer questions in a friendly, neighborly way. Those consistent themes are a big part of why people say they are glad they switched from big-name companies to a local team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Fast Can Your Team Come Out If I Find a Nest?
We work hard to respond quickly when you discover a nest. When you reach out to us, our team responds within 24 hours to discuss what you are seeing and to schedule a free inspection. Exact appointment times can depend on the time of day you call, and how full our schedule is, and urgent situations are prioritized whenever possible. During that first conversation, we also walk you through any simple steps you can take to stay safe until we arrive. Our aim is to make sure you never feel like you are facing a stinging insect problem on your own for long.
What Happens During a Free Inspection?
During a free inspection, our technician focuses on understanding what is happening on your property and clearly explaining it. We start by asking you to show us where you have seen activity, then we look for nests, entry points, and other conditions that could be encouraging bees or wasps to stay. As we move around the property, we describe what we notice in simple terms and answer your questions. After the inspection, we outline recommended treatment options, what they include, and any prevention tips that apply. You can review that information and decide how you want to move forward, without any obligation.
