Hear from Our Customers
You stop jumping every time you hear buzzing near your deck. Your kids can play outside without you scanning for wasps. Your outdoor barbecues don’t get interrupted by aggressive yellowjackets circling your food.
That’s what happens when wasp nests get removed properly the first time. No more wondering if that nest under your eaves is getting bigger every day. No more avoiding your own backyard because you’re worried about getting stung.
You get your outdoor spaces back. Your family can relax outside again, and you can focus on enjoying your property instead of constantly watching for stinging insects.
We’ve been protecting Williamston families from stinging insects since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every wasp removal job, and you get the same technician every time – not a different face every visit.
Our integrated pest management training and awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor back up what local customers already know. We show up when we say we will, eliminate the problem completely, and don’t disappear when you need follow-up service.
Williamston’s wooded neighborhoods and older homes create perfect conditions for paper wasps under eaves and yellowjackets in wall voids. We understand these local challenges and have the specialized equipment to handle nests safely, even in hard-to-reach locations.
First, we inspect your property thoroughly to locate all active nests and identify the wasp species. Different wasps require different approaches – yellowjackets in ground nests need different treatment than paper wasps hanging under your deck.
Next, we eliminate the colony using targeted treatments designed for each specific situation. We time treatments for maximum effectiveness when wasps are less active, reducing the risk of defensive swarming.
Finally, we remove the nest structure and apply preventative treatments to discourage future nesting in the same location. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what we did, and what to expect going forward. Most wasp problems are resolved in a single visit.

Your service includes elimination of all common Michigan wasp species – yellowjackets, paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and mud daubers. We handle nests in any location, from ground-level colonies to high eaves and wall voids.
Williamston’s late summer brings peak wasp activity when colonies reach maximum size. Our timing accounts for local seasonal patterns, treating nests before they become unmanageable. We know when yellowjackets become most aggressive and when paper wasps start expanding their territories.
Emergency response is available for urgent situations like nests near entryways or recent stinging incidents. Most emergency calls get same-day or next-day service depending on the situation. We prioritize safety concerns, especially when children or allergic family members are at risk.
Most wasp nest removal in Williamston costs between $200 and $600, depending on the nest location and wasp species. Simple paper wasp nests under eaves typically cost less than yellowjacket colonies hidden in wall voids or underground.
Factors affecting price include nest accessibility, wasp aggressiveness, and whether carpentry work is needed to reach hidden nests. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges and offer price matching for comparable services from reasonable competitors.
Emergency removals may cost slightly more, but we prioritize safety over profits. If you’re dealing with aggressive wasps near high-traffic areas or have family members with sting allergies, fast professional removal is worth the investment.
Early morning or late evening are the safest times for wasp nest removal when wasps are less active. However, the best time of year is late spring or early summer before colonies reach peak size.
By late summer, Michigan wasp colonies can house thousands of wasps, making removal more dangerous and expensive. Yellowjackets become particularly aggressive in fall as food sources dwindle and workers compete for resources.
If you discover a nest during peak season, don’t wait. Late summer nests pose the highest risk for defensive swarming and multiple stings. Professional removal becomes more critical as colonies grow larger and more territorial.
DIY wasp nest removal is extremely dangerous and rarely effective long-term. Store-bought sprays often agitate wasps without eliminating the entire colony, leading to defensive attacks and potential nest relocation.
Hidden nests in walls or underground are impossible to treat properly without professional equipment. Yellowjackets can attack in swarms when their nest is disturbed, and their stings can trigger severe allergic reactions even in people without known allergies.
Professional removal ensures complete colony elimination, prevents defensive swarming, and includes safety equipment that protects against multiple stings. The cost difference between professional and DIY methods isn’t worth the medical risks involved.
Williamston’s most common wasps include German yellowjackets that nest in wall voids, Eastern yellowjackets that build underground colonies, and paper wasps that hang nests under eaves and deck railings.
Bald-faced hornets create large aerial nests in trees and are less aggressive but have painful stings. Mud daubers build individual nests in protected areas and are generally docile unless directly handled.
Each species requires different removal approaches. Yellowjackets are the most dangerous due to their aggressive nature and ability to sting multiple times. Paper wasps are territorial but less likely to swarm unless their nest is directly threatened.
Wasps don’t reuse old nests, but they often build new nests in the same general area if conditions remain favorable. Queen wasps emerging from winter hibernation scout for protected locations similar to previous successful nesting sites.
Your property might attract wasps due to factors like sheltered eaves, available food sources, or proximity to water. Even after nest removal, these attractants can draw new colonies to establish nests nearby.
Preventative treatments help discourage future nesting by eliminating attractants and creating barriers in preferred nesting locations. Regular monitoring during spring and early summer can catch new nest-building activity before colonies become established.
Most wasp emergencies in Williamston get same-day or next-day response, depending on the time of call and severity of the situation. We prioritize cases involving nests near entryways, recent stinging incidents, or households with allergic family members.
Emergency situations include aggressive wasp activity around doors and windows, nests discovered in high-traffic areas, or multiple stings requiring immediate nest elimination. We understand that some wasp problems can’t wait for regular scheduling.
Our emergency response includes full safety equipment and specialized treatments for aggressive species like yellowjackets. We’re equipped to handle nests up to 25 feet high and can work in challenging locations like attics, wall voids, and dense vegetation.
