Yellow Jacket Nest Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we locate the nest. Yellow jackets hide in ground holes, wall voids, under decks, and in eaves. We watch their flight patterns and find where they’re actually nesting—not just where you see them flying around.

Next, we eliminate the colony using professional-grade treatments that reach the queen. We don’t just spray the entrance and hope for the best. We target the entire nest structure to stop the problem at its source.

Finally, we treat surrounding areas to prevent new colonies from moving in. We also show you what attracts yellow jackets to your property and how to make your yard less appealing to them next season.

You’ll see results within 24-48 hours. Most nests are completely inactive within a few days.

We typically respond the same day or next day during yellow jacket season. The actual treatment takes 30-60 minutes depending on nest location and size.Most nests show significant reduction in activity within 24 hours. Complete elimination usually happens within 2-4 days as the treatment reaches all colony members including the queen.We don’t just spray and leave. We monitor the nest to ensure complete elimination and return if any activity persists within our guarantee period.
Michigan yellow jacket colonies peak in August and September with up to 5,000 members per nest. At this time, they’re desperately seeking sugary foods and protein to sustain the colony through fall.They become extremely protective of their nests and food sources. Unlike spring when colonies are small, late summer yellow jackets will aggressively defend their territory and can sting multiple times.This is also when they start showing up at outdoor gatherings, garbage cans, and anywhere they smell food. Their natural food sources are declining, making them more likely to interact with humans.
Absolutely not recommended. Yellow jackets release alarm pheromones when threatened that call the entire colony to attack. A single nest can swarm you with hundreds of aggressive wasps.Over-the-counter sprays often make the problem worse by angering the colony without eliminating the queen. Sealing nest entrances forces yellow jackets to find new exits, often into your living spaces.Professional removal uses specialized equipment, protective gear, and targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony safely. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to emergency room visits from multiple stings.
Ground nests are most common in our area, often in abandoned rodent burrows, under decks, or in landscape areas. You’ll notice yellow jackets flying directly in and out of holes in the ground.Wall voids are another frequent location—inside exterior walls, soffits, or attic spaces. These are particularly dangerous because yellow jackets can enter your living space if the nest is disturbed.Aerial nests hang from eaves, tree branches, or porch ceilings. These look like gray papery balls and are easier to spot but still require professional removal due to their size and the colony’s aggressive defense.
Most yellow jacket nest removals in Swartz Creek range from $200-$500 depending on nest location, size, and accessibility. Ground nests are typically less expensive than wall void or high aerial nests.We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Our service includes complete nest elimination, surrounding area treatment, and a one-year guarantee against return to the same location.We also offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. The investment in professional removal prevents costly property damage and potential medical bills from stings.
No, yellow jacket colonies in Michigan are annual. Cold weather kills the entire colony except for new queens who hibernate elsewhere and start fresh nests in spring.However, new colonies may choose similar locations if the conditions are right. Old rodent burrows, protected wall voids, and areas with food sources remain attractive to founding queens.Our service includes prevention recommendations to make your property less appealing to new colonies. We’ll identify and help you address potential nesting sites and attractants before next season begins.
