You step outside without scanning for angry wasps first. Your kids play in the backyard without you holding your breath every time they run near the deck. The barbecue happens without everyone eating inside because of stinging insects.
That’s what happens when wasp nest removal gets done right the first time. No more canceled outdoor plans. No more rushing inside when you hear that familiar buzzing sound. No more wondering if someone’s going to get stung just trying to get the mail.
Your outdoor spaces become yours again. You use that patio you built. The kids actually want to play outside. And you’re not constantly looking over your shoulder for wasps that might be building their next nest somewhere you haven’t spotted yet.
We’ve been handling wasp nest removal in Clio, MI since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on keeping the same technician with customers year after year.
We’re not some national chain that rotates college students through your property. You get experienced professionals who understand Michigan’s unique wasp challenges and know exactly which species cause problems in Clio and when they’re most active.
Our integrated pest management training and awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor aren’t just wall decorations. They represent our commitment to doing this work right, using science-backed methods that actually solve the problem instead of just temporarily reducing wasp activity.
First, your assigned technician conducts a thorough inspection of your property. We locate all wasp nests, identify the species you’re dealing with, and assess the safest removal approach. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we’re looking for active nests, potential nesting sites, and entry points.
Next, we eliminate the wasps using targeted treatments designed for the specific species on your property. Different wasps require different approaches. Yellow jackets need different handling than paper wasps or hornets. We use professional-grade products that reach the entire colony, not just the wasps you can see.
Then we safely remove the nest structure and treat the area to prevent re-establishment. We also seal potential entry points and remove conditions that attract wasps in the first place. Your technician explains exactly what we’re doing and why, so you understand the process every step of the way.

Your wasp nest removal service includes elimination of all active nests on your property, treatment of potential nesting areas, and follow-up visits if wasps return within the coverage period. We handle everything from paper wasp nests under eaves to aggressive yellow jacket colonies in wall voids.
Clio’s location means dealing with multiple wasp species throughout the season. European hornets often nest in tree hollows and wall cavities. Paper wasps build their umbrella-shaped nests under deck railings and porch ceilings. Yellow jackets create hidden underground colonies that can house thousands of aggressive wasps by late summer.
We also provide prevention services that stop new colonies from establishing. This includes sealing entry points, removing attractants, and applying residual treatments to areas where wasps commonly attempt to build. Our approach addresses both immediate threats and long-term prevention, so you’re not dealing with the same problems every year.
Most wasp nest removal jobs in Clio get same-day or next-day service, depending on the situation and time of call. If you’re dealing with aggressive species like yellow jackets or hornets that pose immediate danger, those get priority scheduling.
Emergency wasp situations don’t wait for convenient times. When wasps are swarming near your front door or kids’ play area, you need fast response from professionals who understand the urgency.
The actual removal process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on nest location and wasp species. Ground nests and wall voids require more time than exposed nests under eaves or in trees. Your technician will give you a realistic timeframe during the initial assessment.
Wasps can sting multiple times and will attack in swarms when they feel threatened. Unlike bees that sting once and die, wasps can keep stinging and release pheromones that signal other colony members to join the attack.
DIY removal attempts often fail because homeowners can’t reach the entire colony or don’t have proper protective equipment. Spraying visible nests with store-bought products usually just angers the wasps without eliminating the queen and developing larvae inside the nest structure.
Yellow jackets are particularly dangerous because they’re extremely aggressive and often build hidden nests in wall cavities or underground. Disturbing these colonies without proper training and equipment can result in dozens of painful stings and potential hospitalization for people with allergies.
Yes, we handle all wasp species common to the Clio area, including paper wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and mud daubers. Each species requires different removal techniques because they build different types of nests in different locations.
Paper wasps create open, umbrella-shaped nests that are usually visible under eaves or deck railings. Hornets build large, enclosed nests in trees or wall cavities. Yellow jackets often nest underground or inside wall voids, making them harder to locate and more dangerous to remove.
Our technicians are trained to identify species quickly and use the most effective removal method for each situation. We also understand seasonal patterns—when different species are most active, when colonies reach peak size, and when removal is safest and most effective.
Properly executed wasp nest removal eliminates the entire colony, including the queen and developing larvae. However, new colonies can establish in the same area if conditions remain attractive to wasps.
We treat potential nesting sites and seal entry points to prevent re-establishment. This includes removing food sources, eliminating moisture problems, and applying residual treatments to areas where wasps commonly attempt to build.
If wasps do return within our coverage period, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. Our goal is complete elimination, not just temporary reduction in wasp activity. Most customers don’t see wasp problems return when removal is done correctly with proper follow-up prevention.
Wasp nest removal costs depend on nest location, species, and complexity of the job. Simple nests that are easily accessible cost less than hidden colonies in wall voids or high locations that require specialized equipment.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what the service costs before we start work. We also offer price matching for comparable services from licensed competitors.
Most Clio residents find our pricing very reasonable, especially when you factor in our same-technician guarantee, follow-up coverage, and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Emergency wasp removal is an investment in your family’s safety and peace of mind.
Professional wasp removal protects you from dangerous stings while ensuring complete colony elimination. We have proper protective equipment, professional-grade products, and experience dealing with aggressive wasp species that can seriously injure untrained homeowners.
Store-bought wasp sprays often just anger the colony without reaching the queen and developing larvae inside the nest. This leads to surviving wasps rebuilding or relocating to other areas of your property. Professional treatments eliminate the entire colony structure.
We also identify and address conditions that attract wasps in the first place. This includes sealing entry points, removing food sources, and treating potential nesting sites. DIY approaches typically focus only on visible nests without preventing future infestations.
