Hear from Our Customers
You get your yard back without the constant threat of painful stings. Your kids can play outside safely. Your weekend lawn mowing doesn’t turn into a dangerous game of chance with hidden ground nests.
No more tiptoeing around your own property or avoiding areas where wasps have claimed territory. You can host barbecues, work in your garden, and enjoy outdoor spaces without scanning for aggressive defenders ready to attack.
The real peace of mind comes from complete elimination—not just spraying visible nests and hoping for the best. When we’re done, the colony is gone, the nest is removed, and entry points are sealed so new colonies can’t move in.
Since 2005, we’ve been the family-owned company Howell residents trust when wasps turn dangerous. Roger brings 26 years of experience understanding how Michigan’s climate creates perfect wasp breeding conditions.
We’re not the company that sends different technicians every visit. You get the same experienced professional who learns your property’s trouble spots and prevents problems before they start.
Our 4.7-star rating from over 363 customers reflects something simple: we show up when promised and solve the problem completely the first time. Howell homeowners know they can count on us because we’ve been their neighbors for two decades.
We start by locating every nest on your property, including ground colonies that catch homeowners by surprise during yard work. Michigan’s seasonal patterns create predictable nesting sites—under eaves, in wall cavities, tree branches, and soil cavities near sidewalks.
Next, we eliminate the entire colony using targeted treatments that reach every wasp, including the queen. This isn’t about spraying visible areas and hoping the problem goes away. We ensure complete colony destruction so there’s no rebound in days or weeks.
Finally, we remove empty nests and seal entry points where new colonies might form. You get immediate safety plus prevention that lasts through Michigan’s long wasp season.

Your service includes complete colony elimination, physical nest removal, and preventive sealing—not the partial treatments that leave problems half-solved. We provide exact pricing upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Howell’s spring-to-fall wasp season creates unique challenges. Colonies that start with 10-20 wasps in May can house 5,000 aggressive defenders by September. Ground-nesting yellow jackets become especially dangerous during Michigan’s peak lawn care season when mower vibrations trigger mass attacks.
We understand local wasp behavior patterns. Bald-faced hornets prefer building 3-4 feet high in your trees. Paper wasps target your deck railings and gutters. Yellow jackets nest in mulch beds and soil cavities. Each species requires different elimination strategies, and we know exactly how to handle what Howell properties face.
Wasp nest removal typically costs $150-200 for accessible exterior nests, while complex wall cavity or multiple nest situations range $300-400. Location accessibility, nest size, and colony maturity affect final pricing.
We provide exact pricing upfront before beginning work—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Emergency service calls and multiple nest treatments may adjust costs, but you’ll know the complete investment before we start. Professional removal protects your family while actually saving money compared to emergency room visits for severe sting reactions, which can cost thousands.
Paper wasps are most common, building distinctive gray umbrella-shaped nests under your eaves, deck railings, and gutters. These aggressive insects become increasingly territorial as their colonies grow throughout Michigan’s warm season.
Yellow jackets create the most dangerous situations because they nest both above and below ground. Ground colonies are often discovered painfully during lawn mowing when equipment vibrations trigger defensive swarms. These colonies can house thousands of wasps by late summer. Bald-faced hornets build large football-shaped nests in trees and under structures 3-4 feet off the ground with colonies containing 100-400 wasps.
Spring and early summer provide the most effective results because colonies are smaller and less established. Colonies that start with 10-20 wasps in May can house 5,000 aggressive defenders by September.
Late summer becomes the most dangerous and expensive time for removal as colonies reach peak size and aggression. However, we handle wasp problems year-round because waiting often makes the situation worse. The sooner you address a wasp problem, the safer and more cost-effective the solution becomes.
DIY wasp removal puts you in immediate danger of being swarmed by aggressive insects. Improper yellow jacket nest removal can land someone in the hospital because that particular species tends to be aggressive and will attack humans without provocation.
Store-bought sprays and home remedies don’t permanently eliminate wasps and often make them more aggressive. Ground-nesting yellow jackets become especially dangerous when disturbed, and many homeowners don’t realize they’ve stepped on a colony until thousands of wasps erupt from the ground. Professional equipment and experience are essential for safe, complete elimination.
Wasps don’t reuse old nests, but they often choose the same favorable locations year after year if entry points aren’t sealed. New queens start fresh colonies each spring, and they’re attracted to the same protected areas that worked for previous colonies.
This is why complete service includes sealing entry points after nest removal. We identify and close the gaps, cracks, and cavities that attract new queens looking for nesting sites. Without proper sealing, you’re likely to face new wasp problems in the same spots season after season.
Most wasp nest removal can be completed in a single visit, typically within 1-2 hours depending on nest location and colony size. We prioritize urgent situations, especially when nests are near high-traffic areas or when someone in the household is allergic to stings.
Same-day service is often available for emergency situations. However, complete elimination sometimes requires a follow-up visit to ensure the colony is fully destroyed and to remove the physical nest structure. We’ll explain the timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect and when your property will be safe again.
