You’ll reclaim your outdoor spaces without the constant fear of aggressive hornets threatening your family. No more cancelled barbecues, no more keeping kids inside, no more sprinting to your car because there’s a nest in your eaves.
Professional removal means the entire colony is eliminated properly – not just a partial spray job that leaves angry survivors rebuilding nearby. Bald-faced hornets are Michigan’s most aggressive stinging insect and can sting repeatedly, so complete elimination is critical.
Within 24 hours of our service, you can use your yard with confidence. Your children can play outside, you can mow without worry, and you can actually enjoy the property you’re paying for instead of avoiding sections because of dangerous nests.

Bald-faced hornets are the primary hornet species in Michigan, and we’ve been removing their nests from West Highland properties for nearly two decades. Our integrated pest management certification and awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor reflect the expertise local families depend on.
We locate every nest through thorough property inspection, identifying the exact hornet species and nest locations. In Michigan, bald-faced hornets typically nest in trees but can also be found on building overhangs, in low shrubbery, and in attics.
Treatment happens at optimal times when hornets are less active, typically late evening or nighttime, using professional-grade materials that penetrate the entire colony structure. We don’t just spray the outside and hope – we ensure complete elimination so survivors can’t rebuild.
After eliminating the colony, we remove nest structures and seal potential entry points. Mature nests can be bigger than a basketball with 300-500 workers by late summer, so complete removal prevents future infestations in the same location.

Complete nest elimination using professional protective equipment that keeps everyone safe during removal. We handle nests in dangerous locations – high tree branches, inside attics, wall voids – places that would put homeowners at serious risk of falls or multiple stings.
West Highland’s wooded properties attract bald-faced hornets, Michigan’s only black and white stinging insect, identifiable by distinctive markings on face, thorax, and abdomen. We identify each species and use the most effective elimination method.
