The kids can play in the yard without you holding your breath every time they run near the garden. Outdoor gatherings become about the company and conversation, not constant swatting and worry about someone getting stung.
When we’re done, you get your property back. The aggressive yellow jackets that turned your peaceful Burt home into a no-go zone are eliminated at the source, not just temporarily scattered.
We’ve been serving Burt residents since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on pest control experience to every yellow jacket removal job in our community.
We’re the company that assigns you the same technician every visit. No rotating college students who don’t know your property. Your technician learns your home’s specific challenges and builds solutions that actually work for your situation.
Our 4.7-star rating from over 363 customers reflects what happens when you prioritize results over quick profits. We’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because we do what we say we’ll do.
First, we locate the nest. Yellow jackets in Burt often build underground colonies or hide in wall voids, deck spaces, and dense shrubs around properties. We track their flight patterns to find the source, not just where you’re seeing activity.
Next, we eliminate the entire colony using professional-grade treatments that reach every yellow jacket in the nest. We don’t just spray what’s visible and hope for the best. Our approach targets the queen and workers simultaneously to prevent the colony from rebuilding.
Finally, we remove the nest structure and seal entry points to prevent future infestations. We also treat surrounding areas where new queens might attempt to establish colonies next season. You get complete elimination, not temporary relief.

Your yellow jacket removal includes complete nest elimination, not just surface treatment. We use specialized equipment to reach aerial nests and underground colonies safely, with protective gear that keeps our technicians and your family safe during the process.
Michigan’s yellow jacket season peaks in August and September when colonies reach maximum size and aggression levels. Burt’s rural setting with wooded areas and older properties creates ideal nesting conditions in wall voids, under decks, and around foundations.
We provide same-day or next-day emergency service for active yellow jacket problems because we understand the immediate danger these aggressive insects pose to your family. Most Burt properties can be treated within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations involving children or anyone with sting allergies.
Yellow jacket removal in Burt typically ranges from $150-400 depending on nest location, size, and accessibility. Underground nests are usually less expensive to treat than those hidden in wall voids or high aerial locations.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If you find a reasonable competitor’s rate that beats ours, we’ll match it. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders because the people who’ve served our community deserve protection they can afford.
The cost includes complete nest elimination, not just temporary knockdown of visible yellow jackets. Most treatments come with a warranty period, so if activity returns from the same nest location, we’ll re-treat at no charge.
Yellow jackets are extremely dangerous, especially during late summer when their colonies reach peak size and aggression. Unlike honeybees that sting once and die, yellow jackets can sting repeatedly and will attack in large numbers when their nest is threatened.
In Michigan, yellow jackets become most aggressive in August and September as they switch from hunting insects to seeking sugary foods. This is when most stinging incidents occur around Burt properties, often when people unknowingly step on underground nests or disturb hidden colonies.
Yellow jacket stings send thousands of people to emergency rooms annually. For anyone with sting allergies, an encounter with an aggressive colony can be life-threatening. Even people without known allergies can experience serious reactions when stung multiple times by an angry swarm.
Most yellow jacket emergencies in Burt can be addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often the same day for urgent situations. We prioritize stinging insect calls because of the immediate danger they pose to your family’s safety.
Our response time depends on the specific situation and time you contact us. Active nests near children’s play areas or main entry points get priority treatment, as do any situations involving people with known sting allergies.
We keep our service area focused on communities like Burt so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions. When you call, we’ll assess your situation and give you a realistic timeframe, not generic “sometime this week” responses.
Yellow jackets in Burt commonly nest underground in old rodent burrows, beneath deck steps, or in wall voids where they can build their paper nests in protected spaces. They also establish colonies in dense shrubs, woodpiles, and gaps around foundations or utility penetrations.
Eastern yellow jackets, common in our area, prefer ground nests in lawns or garden beds where they’re easily stepped on accidentally. German yellow jackets often nest in wall cavities, attics, or other structural voids where they’re harder to detect until the colony grows large.
The key warning sign is consistent yellow jacket traffic in and out of the same area. If you’re seeing multiple yellow jackets repeatedly entering and leaving a specific spot on your property, there’s likely an active nest that needs professional removal before someone gets hurt.
DIY yellow jacket removal is extremely dangerous and often makes the situation worse. Yellow jackets become highly aggressive when their nest is disturbed, and colonies can contain hundreds to thousands of individuals ready to defend their home with painful, repeated stings.
Professional removal requires specialized protective equipment, commercial-grade treatments, and knowledge of yellow jacket behavior patterns. We have the tools to reach hidden nests safely and the experience to eliminate entire colonies, not just scatter them temporarily.
Most DIY attempts result in partial treatment that agitates the colony without eliminating it completely. This often leads to increased aggression and yellow jackets relocating to other areas of your property. Professional treatment ensures complete elimination and prevents the problem from recurring.
Yes, we stand behind our yellow jacket removal work with a service warranty. If you see continued activity from the same nest location after our treatment, we’ll return and re-treat at no additional charge during the warranty period.
Our guarantee covers the specific nest we treated, not new colonies that might establish elsewhere on your property. Yellow jackets don’t reuse old nests, but new queens may return to the same general area the following season to start fresh colonies.
We keep detailed records of every treatment location and method used, so if you experience any issues with a treated nest, we can quickly identify the problem and provide effective follow-up service. Our goal is complete elimination, not temporary relief.
