We’ve protected Swartz Creek families from dangerous stinging insects since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every yellow jacket problem. We’re not some big corporate chain sending different technicians every time.
We’re your neighbors who understand that Michigan’s late summer yellow jacket season can turn your backyard into a no-go zone. We know exactly how aggressive these colonies get in August and September when they’re defending nests with up to 5,000 wasps.
In Swartz Creek’s suburban neighborhoods, we’ve seen yellow jackets nest everywhere from abandoned rodent burrows in lawns to wall voids behind siding. Each location requires a different approach, and we know them all.
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.
First, we locate the nest by tracking flight patterns and identifying entry points. We understand Michigan’s yellow jacket behavior patterns and know exactly when and how to approach different nest types safely.
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. You also get prevention advice specific to your property – we’ll point out potential nesting sites and food sources that draw yellow jackets to your yard.

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. 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.

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.
We absolutely don’t recommend it. 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. Professional removal prevents costly property damage and potential medical bills from stings. We have the protective equipment, professional-grade treatments, and experience to eliminate nests safely.
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. That’s why we provide a one-year guarantee against return to the same location and give you prevention advice specific to your property to reduce the chances of future nesting.
Yellow jackets are attracted to sugary foods, protein sources, and suitable nesting sites. In late summer, they desperately seek sweet beverages, fruit, garbage, and food at outdoor gatherings as their natural food sources decline.
For nesting, they often use abandoned rodent burrows in lawns, wall voids, spaces behind siding, and gaps around structures. We’ll point out potential nesting sites and food sources during our service to help prevent future problems on your specific property.
