Professional Hornet Nest Removal

Three Steps to Complete Elimination

We start with a thorough inspection of your entire property. Every potential nesting site gets checked – under eaves, in trees, around structures, and in ground locations where yellow jackets commonly build in the Bridgeport area.

Next comes targeted elimination using professional-grade treatments applied directly to nesting sites. Our specialized equipment ensures we reach even hard-to-access nests while maintaining safe distances from the aggressive insects.

Finally, we remove all nests and apply preventative treatments to stop reestablishment. You get warranty protection and follow-up service to ensure the hornets don’t return to the same locations.

Complete Hornet Removal Bridgeport MI

Full Property Protection from Stinging Insects

Our comprehensive hornet removal service eliminates all common Michigan species including bald-faced hornets, yellow jackets, and paper wasps. Each species requires different removal techniques, and our local experience ensures proper identification and treatment.

Bridgeport’s location creates perfect conditions for hornet activity. Properties near the Cass River provide water sources these insects need, while the mix of wooded and suburban areas offers ideal nesting sites. We know the local patterns and seasonal behaviors that affect hornet populations in Saginaw County.

Emergency response is available when hornets pose immediate threats. Whether they’re defending a nest near your front door or swarming in your yard, we eliminate the danger quickly and safely.

For emergency situations where hornets pose immediate danger, we typically respond the same day. Non-emergency hornet removal is usually scheduled within 24-48 hours of your call. The actual removal process takes 1-2 hours depending on nest size and location. However, you’ll need to avoid the treated area for about 24 hours while remaining hornets return to find their eliminated nest. We also schedule a follow-up visit within a week to remove any remaining nest material and ensure complete elimination. Our goal is resolving your hornet problem as quickly and safely as possible.
Hornets are significantly more aggressive than bees and can sting repeatedly without dying. When threatened, they attack in groups and will pursue you much farther than bees typically would. Their stings inject more venom than bee stings, causing greater pain and swelling. For people with allergies, hornet stings can trigger life-threatening anaphylactic reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Unlike solitary wasps, social hornets defend their colonies aggressively. A single disturbance near their nest can trigger attacks from dozens of hornets simultaneously, making DIY removal attempts extremely dangerous.
In Bridgeport, we commonly find bald-faced hornet nests 10-15 feet high in trees, under eaves, and in protected overhangs. These football-shaped nests are usually visible once you know where to look. Yellow jackets often nest underground in old rodent burrows or beneath structures like decks and sheds. They also build inside wall voids, attics, and other enclosed spaces around homes. Paper wasps prefer protected areas like under roof overhangs, in garage corners, and around outdoor light fixtures. Properties near the Cass River or wooded areas tend to have higher hornet activity due to available water sources and nesting materials.
Hornet activity begins in late spring when queens emerge from winter hiding and establish new colonies. Activity increases through summer, peaking in late August and September when colonies reach maximum size. This late summer period is when hornets become most aggressive, as they’re preparing for winter and defending reproductive members of the colony. Colonies can house up to 5,000 hornets by fall, making encounters extremely dangerous. Even after the first frost kills worker hornets, queens remain alive in nests through winter. Spring removal of old nests prevents these queens from rebuilding colonies in the same locations.
Proper professional removal eliminates the entire colony and prevents return to the same nesting site. We remove all nest material and apply treatments that deter future nesting in those locations. However, new hornet colonies can establish elsewhere on your property the following season. That’s why we recommend annual preventative treatments, especially for properties with ideal nesting conditions. Our service includes warranty coverage for the treated nests. If hornets return to the same location within the warranty period, we’ll retreat at no additional cost to ensure complete elimination.
Hornet removal costs vary based on nest size, location accessibility, and number of nests requiring treatment. Most single-nest removals range from $150-$400, with multiple nests or difficult access locations costing more. We provide upfront pricing before beginning work, so you know exactly what to expect. Our pricing includes complete nest elimination, follow-up service, and warranty coverage for the treated areas. We also offer price matching for reasonable competitor quotes and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Emergency service may include additional charges, but we discuss all costs before starting any work.
