You step outside without scanning for angry wasps diving at your head. Your kids play in the yard without you holding your breath every time they run near that corner where the nest used to be.
Summer barbecues happen without guests jumping up from the table when yellowjackets swarm the food. You mow the lawn without that constant worry about stepping on a ground nest and getting swarmed.
Your home becomes the safe haven it should be. No more postponing outdoor projects because aggressive hornets have claimed your deck. No more rushing inside when wasps start circling. Just the peace of mind that comes from knowing the problem is handled completely by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
We’ve been protecting Columbiaville families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every wasp removal job, and here’s what makes us different in your area.
You get the same certified technician every single visit. No rotating college students who don’t know your property or your concerns. Your technician learns exactly where wasps try to build on your specific property and what works to keep them away long-term.
We’re one of under 100 companies in the entire United States offering canine bed bug detection, plus we include flea and tick treatment free with mosquito programs. When other companies nickel and dime you, we find ways to give you more value because we’re invested in this community for the long haul.
First, we inspect your entire property to locate all nests – including the hidden ones in wall voids, underground, or tucked under eaves that you might not even know exist. Most wasp problems involve multiple nests, and missing even one means the problem continues.
Then we identify the exact species because yellowjackets require completely different treatment than paper wasps or bald-faced hornets. The wrong approach can make aggressive species even more dangerous.
We treat each nest with professional-grade materials designed specifically for that wasp type. This isn’t hardware store spray – we use targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including larvae, so they can’t rebuild.
After treatment, we remove the physical nest structure and apply preventive treatments to stop new colonies from establishing in the same locations. Your technician explains what we found, what we eliminated, and what you can do to avoid future problems.

Your service includes complete elimination of all wasp species common to Columbiaville – yellowjackets, paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and mud daubers. We handle both aerial nests hanging from structures and ground nests that can be nearly impossible to spot until someone steps on them.
Michigan’s late summer brings peak wasp aggression as colonies reach their maximum size of up to 5,000 individuals. This is when most stinging incidents occur, especially around food sources and high-traffic areas. Our timing focuses on this critical period when intervention prevents the most dangerous encounters.
We also address the conditions that attract wasps to your specific property. Columbiaville’s mix of suburban and rural areas creates ideal wasp habitat – wooded areas for nesting, water sources for breeding, and residential properties with food attractants. Your treatment plan accounts for these local factors that make some properties wasp magnets year after year.
Emergency service is available when nests pose immediate threats near doorways, play areas, or if someone in your household has known allergies to wasp stings. Most situations can be addressed within 24 hours, often the same day you call.
Professional wasp nest removal typically costs between $300-$700 for most residential situations in Columbiaville, depending on the number of nests, species involved, and accessibility. Yellowjacket removal tends to be more expensive because these aggressive wasps often build underground nests that require specialized treatment approaches.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees and offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates. Senior, veteran, and first responder discounts are available because we believe everyone deserves professional pest protection regardless of budget constraints.
The investment pays for itself when you consider the alternative – emergency medical bills from multiple stings, property damage from untreated infestations, and the ongoing stress of living with dangerous wasp populations near your home.
Yellowjackets are Michigan’s most aggressive wasp species, with black and yellow striped bodies and the ability to sting repeatedly. They often nest underground or in wall voids, making them difficult to locate until someone accidentally disturbs the colony. Their stings can cause blood poisoning due to bacteria on their stingers.
Paper wasps have longer legs and build umbrella-shaped nests typically attached to eaves, railings, or other structures. They’re less aggressive than yellowjackets but will defend their nests vigorously if threatened. Their nests are more visible and easier to spot during routine property inspections.
Bald-faced hornets are actually a type of yellowjacket despite their name. They’re larger, predominantly black with white markings, and build enclosed paper nests that can reach basketball size. These nests are usually aerial, hanging from trees or structures, and contain hundreds of aggressive defenders.
Early spring through early summer offers the safest and most cost-effective removal timing when nests are small and colonies haven’t reached peak aggression levels. However, most homeowners discover nests during late summer when wasp activity becomes impossible to ignore.
Late summer removal is more challenging because colonies contain thousands of wasps at their most defensive stage, but it’s also when removal becomes absolutely necessary. This is peak sting season when wasps become increasingly aggressive around food sources and high-traffic areas.
We handle removals year-round, but timing affects both cost and complexity. Early detection through professional property inspections can prevent small problems from becoming dangerous situations that require emergency intervention during peak wasp season.
DIY wasp nest removal is strongly discouraged, especially for aggressive species like yellowjackets or large colonies. Store-bought sprays rarely eliminate entire colonies and often make surviving wasps more aggressive and likely to attack.
Professional removal requires specialized equipment, protective gear, and knowledge of wasp behavior patterns. We know when wasps are least active, how to approach different nest types safely, and which treatments actually eliminate colonies rather than just scattering them to rebuild elsewhere.
The medical costs from multiple wasp stings, especially for anyone with allergies, far exceed professional removal costs. Emergency room visits for severe reactions can reach thousands of dollars, while professional removal provides guaranteed results with proper safety protocols that protect both you and your family.
Prevention starts with eliminating the conditions that attracted wasps initially – sealing entry points to wall voids, removing food sources like exposed garbage or pet food, and addressing moisture issues that create ideal nesting conditions.
We apply residual treatments to areas where nests were removed, creating barriers that discourage new colonies from establishing in those locations. These treatments remain effective for months, covering the critical spring period when queens scout for new nesting sites.
Property modifications also help – trimming vegetation away from structures, ensuring tight-fitting garbage can lids, and removing potential nesting materials like old wood or debris. Your technician provides specific recommendations based on your property’s unique wasp attractants and the species we’ve eliminated from your area.
Yes, we provide same-day or emergency wasp removal service when nests pose immediate safety threats – especially near doorways, play areas, or when household members have known allergies to wasp stings. Most emergency calls can be addressed within 24 hours, often much sooner.
We understand that some wasp situations can’t wait for regular scheduling. A yellowjacket nest near your front door or aggressive hornets dive-bombing your deck require immediate professional intervention to prevent dangerous encounters.
When you call, you’re speaking directly with our local team, not a call center. We can usually provide a realistic timeframe right on the phone and dispatch a technician quickly to assess the situation and begin treatment if conditions allow for safe removal.
