Wasps and hornets are a real problem in Oakland, especially when the weather warms up from spring through fall. Oakland's mild climate and moderate seasons mean these stinging insects have a long season to build nests and cause trouble around your home. Wasps and hornets can be aggressive if disturbed, and having them near your family is genuinely stressful. Here in Oakland, you'll want to take action quickly if you spot a nest.
