Professional Hornet Removal Process

Here's Exactly How We Handle It

We start with a thorough property inspection to locate all nests and identify the specific hornet species you’re dealing with. Michigan has several types of stinging insects that are easily confused, so proper identification is crucial for effective treatment.

Next, we apply targeted treatments using specialized equipment that eliminates hornets at the source while keeping your family and pets safe. Our methods are designed to reach even hard-to-access nests in eaves, wall voids, or high tree branches.

Finally, we safely remove the nest structure and implement preventative measures to stop new colonies from forming in the same areas. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of what we found and what we did, plus a full year warranty on our work.

Everything Included in Your Service

Your hornet removal service includes complete nest elimination, not just spraying and hoping for the best. We use professional-grade treatments that store-bought products simply can’t match, especially for those large nests that can house hundreds of hornets.

In Grand Blanc’s climate, hornet activity typically peaks in late summer when colonies reach their largest size. That’s when they’re most aggressive and dangerous, particularly around food sources and high-traffic areas of your property.

We also seal potential entry points and remove attractants that draw hornets to your property in the first place. This comprehensive approach means you’re not just getting temporary relief – you’re getting long-term protection that keeps working even after we leave.

Hornet stings are significantly more dangerous than most other stinging insects for several reasons. Unlike bees that can only sting once, hornets can sting multiple times, injecting more venom with each attack.The venom itself is more potent and causes intense pain, swelling, and burning that can last for days. For people with allergies, hornet stings can trigger anaphylactic shock, which can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.What makes hornets particularly dangerous is their aggressive behavior when their nest is threatened. They can swarm in large numbers and will chase perceived threats much farther than bees or wasps typically do.
We strongly advise against DIY hornet nest removal, especially for the large nests common in Grand Blanc during late summer. Even small nests can house dozens of hornets, while mature nests can contain hundreds or even thousands.Store-bought sprays rarely reach deep enough into the nest structure to eliminate the entire colony. Worse, partially treating a nest often agitates the hornets and can cause them to become more aggressive or relocate to another part of your property.Professional removal requires specialized protective equipment, professional-grade treatments, and knowledge of hornet behavior patterns. The risk of multiple stings, property damage, or incomplete removal makes professional service the safer, more effective choice.
The ideal time for hornet nest removal is early in the season when colonies are still small, typically late spring to early summer. However, we can safely remove nests at any time during the active season.Late summer presents the biggest challenge because colonies reach their peak size and hornets become most aggressive as they prepare for winter. This is when most people notice the problem, but it’s also when removal requires the most expertise and caution.We handle removals year-round and adjust our approach based on the season and nest maturity. Evening treatments are often most effective because hornets are less active and more likely to be in the nest.
Prevention involves both eliminating attractants and blocking access to potential nesting sites. We seal cracks and crevices around your home’s exterior, particularly in eaves, soffits, and other sheltered areas where hornets prefer to build.We also identify and help you address food sources that draw hornets to your property, such as exposed garbage, fallen fruit, or sugary substances around outdoor eating areas. Hornets are attracted to protein sources as well, so proper food storage and cleanup are important.Our treatments include residual products that continue working for months, creating a barrier that deters new colonies from establishing. Combined with our year-long warranty, this comprehensive approach provides lasting protection.
The most important thing is to keep your distance and avoid disturbing the nest in any way. Hornets can detect vibrations and movement from several feet away, and they’ll aggressively defend their territory if they feel threatened.Don’t attempt to knock down the nest, spray it with water, or use any DIY removal methods. These approaches almost always result in multiple stings and rarely eliminate the entire colony. Even “inactive” nests can still house hornets that aren’t immediately visible.Call us immediately for professional assessment and removal. We can often provide same-day service for urgent situations, and we’ll walk you through safety precautions to keep your family protected until we arrive.
The cost depends on factors like nest size, location, and accessibility. Simple, accessible nests typically cost less than large nests in difficult locations like high eaves or wall voids that require specialized equipment.We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates. Our service includes complete elimination, nest removal, and a full year warranty – not just a quick spray and hope approach.When you consider the safety risks, potential medical costs from stings, and the likelihood that DIY attempts will fail, professional removal is typically the most cost-effective solution. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
