You shouldn’t have to worry about painful stings every time you step outside. Or rush kids indoors because aggressive wasps have claimed your deck, playground, or garden.
Professional wasp removal eliminates entire colonies – queens, workers, and developing larvae. Not just the wasps buzzing around that you can see. Complete elimination means no survivors rebuilding in the same spot weeks later.
Your Lake Victoria property becomes safe again. Kids can play outside without fear. You can enjoy your deck, tend your garden, and use your outdoor spaces the way they’re meant to be used.
Roger’s been handling Michigan’s worst wasp problems since 1999. Twenty-six years of hands-on experience removing nests from every possible location – underground yellowjacket colonies, aerial hornet nests, paper wasp clusters under eaves.
We’ve served Lake Victoria families since 2005, back when the area was still developing. We know which properties tend to attract carpenter ants because of the wooded lots. Where moisture issues create perfect conditions for various pest species. How the proximity to water affects seasonal pest patterns.
You get the same technician visit after visit. Someone who remembers your property’s trouble spots and your family’s concerns. Not a different stranger every time who has to start from scratch.
First, we locate every nest on your property. Wasps often build multiple colonies, and missing even one means the problem continues. We identify species because yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets require different approaches.
Treatment uses commercial-grade products that penetrate deep into nest structures. We target the entire colony – not just foraging workers, but queens and developing larvae inside the nest. Professional equipment lets us reach nests in dangerous locations safely.
We remove physical nest structures after treatment and monitor for survivor activity. Most importantly, we identify what attracted wasps initially – moisture sources, food attractions, entry points – and help you address those conditions.

Lake Victoria’s wooded environment creates perfect habitat for Michigan’s most aggressive wasp species. Paper wasps build under deck railings, eaves, and outdoor furniture. Less aggressive individually, but they defend nests aggressively and can sting multiple times.
Underground yellowjacket colonies are the real danger. These nests can house thousands of wasps by August, creating serious hazards for anyone mowing lawns or doing yard work. They’re extremely territorial and attack in swarms when disturbed.
Bald-faced hornets construct large aerial nests in trees and shrubs around Lake Victoria properties. Despite being called hornets, they’re actually large yellowjackets – and they’re among the most aggressive stinging insects in Michigan. Our wasp control services handle all species using appropriate methods for each type and location.
Emergency wasp removal typically happens same-day if you call before noon, next-day for afternoon calls. We prioritize stinging insect emergencies because of the immediate danger, especially with aggressive species like bald-faced hornets or large yellowjacket colonies.
Our trucks carry specialized equipment for every situation – extension poles for high aerial nests, ground injection tools for underground yellowjacket colonies, protective suits rated for multiple stings. We don’t just spray from a distance and hope for the best.
If someone in your household has known allergies to wasp stings, or if the nest is near doorways, play areas, or other high-traffic locations, call immediately. These situations get priority scheduling because the risk of serious injury is too high to wait.
Paper wasps are the most visible, building their umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, deck railings, and outdoor furniture around Lake Victoria homes. They’re less aggressive than other species but still dangerous when their nests are threatened.
Eastern yellowjackets create the most dangerous situations. They build underground colonies that are nearly impossible to spot until someone gets too close. By late summer, these colonies can contain several thousand wasps that become extremely aggressive defending their territory.
Bald-faced hornets build large, basketball-sized nests in trees and tall shrubs. They’re actually a type of yellowjacket, but larger and more aggressive. These wasps will chase perceived threats for considerable distances and can sting multiple times. All three species are common in Lake Victoria’s wooded, lakefront environment.
DIY wasp removal often makes dangerous situations worse. Store-bought sprays only kill wasps that come into direct contact with the product. Queens and developing larvae inside nests survive, and the colony rebuilds within weeks – often more aggressively than before.
Worse, partially treated nests create highly agitated wasps that are more likely to attack. Many emergency room visits result from homeowners who tried DIY removal and got swarmed by defensive wasps.
Professional wasp control uses commercial-grade products not available to consumers, with concentrations and formulations that penetrate nest structures completely. We have protective equipment rated for multiple stings, specialized application tools for hard-to-reach locations, and the experience to eliminate entire colonies safely. The cost difference is minimal compared to potential medical bills from stings or having to call professionals after DIY attempts fail.
Early morning or late evening treatments are most effective because wasps are less active and more likely to be inside the nest. However, dangerous nests near high-traffic areas need immediate removal regardless of timing.
Spring and early summer removal is ideal because colonies are smaller and less defensive. Waiting until late summer means dealing with larger, more aggressive populations. However, we remove threatening nests year-round when family safety is at risk.
Weather affects wasp behavior significantly. Cool, overcast days make them sluggish and less likely to attack. Hot, sunny weather increases aggression levels. Our technicians monitor conditions and adjust timing and approach accordingly to ensure safe, complete elimination.
We guarantee complete elimination of the specific nest and colony we treat. If survivors attempt to rebuild in the same location, we return at no charge to retreat the area. Our treatments are designed to eliminate queens, workers, and developing larvae completely.
However, new wasps can move into your Lake Victoria property from neighboring areas throughout the season. Our guarantee covers the treated colony, not entirely new infestations that might develop elsewhere on your property later.
We provide specific recommendations for reducing conditions that attract wasps – sealing potential nesting sites, removing food sources, addressing moisture issues around your property. Following these suggestions significantly reduces the likelihood of future wasp problems and helps maintain the effectiveness of our treatment.
Keep everyone away from the nest area immediately. Don’t attempt to knock it down, spray it with water, or use store-bought wasp killers unless you have proper protective equipment and experience with aggressive stinging insects.
Note the nest location from a safe distance so you can direct our technicians to it, but avoid the area completely until we arrive. Use alternate entrances if the nest is near doorways. Keep children and pets indoors or away from that section of your property.
If anyone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, or if the nest is in a high-traffic area like near doorways, play equipment, or frequently used outdoor spaces, call for emergency service immediately. Otherwise, contact us as soon as possible to schedule removal before the colony grows larger and more defensive.
