You’ll have immediate peace of mind knowing that aggressive hornets can no longer threaten your family, pets, or guests. No more scanning the yard before letting kids play outside or canceling outdoor gatherings because of stinging insects.
Our complete removal process eliminates entire colonies—not just the hornets you can see. We target nests in the challenging locations that Webberville’s rural properties offer: mature tree cavities, barn eaves, and the wall voids of older homes that hornets love to infiltrate.
After removal, you get preventive treatments and structural sealing that stop future nesting attempts. This isn’t just solving today’s problem—it’s protecting your property investment and family safety for seasons to come.
We’ve been serving Webberville residents since 2005, with Roger bringing 26 years of pest control expertise to every job. We understand how Webberville’s rural setting—with its mature trees, outbuildings, and proximity to agricultural areas—creates unique challenges with stinging insects.
You’ll work with the same certified technician who learns your property’s specific risk factors and builds a relationship with your family. No rotating college students or unfamiliar faces showing up at your door.
As a local business, we’re invested in this community. We offer discounts to seniors, veterans, and first responders, and we’re one of under 100 companies nationwide offering specialized canine bed bug detection services.
We start with comprehensive property inspection to locate all nesting sites and identify specific species. European hornets nest differently than bald-faced hornets, and many homeowners discover they’re dealing with multiple colonies or mixed species requiring different treatment approaches.
Next, we apply professional-grade treatments using specialized equipment designed for Michigan’s challenging nest locations. Our extended-reach tools safely treat nests 25 feet high or hidden deep in wall cavities—areas that store-bought sprays can’t penetrate effectively.
Finally, we remove nest structures completely and seal entry points where hornets commonly establish colonies. We treat surrounding areas with residual barriers and provide detailed documentation of our findings, treatments applied, and prevention measures implemented.

Our hornet removal service addresses both European hornets and aggressive bald-faced hornets common to Michigan properties. We handle the complete spectrum: species identification, colony elimination, nest removal, and long-term prevention.
Webberville’s landscape creates ideal hornet habitat. The mature oak and maple trees provide nesting cavities, while agricultural areas nearby supply the protein sources hornets need for colony development. Peak activity runs from late summer through early fall when colonies reach maximum size and defensive aggression.
You get emergency response availability because hornet threats don’t follow business hours. We also offer comprehensive pest management programs that address seasonal pest pressures throughout the year, including the integrated approach that’s earned us recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor.
Hornet stings are significantly more dangerous than most stinging insects. Unlike honeybees that sting once and die, hornets can sting repeatedly, injecting larger venom doses with each attack.
European hornets, Michigan’s only true hornet species, are particularly concerning because they’re active at night and become highly aggressive when their nests are disturbed. Bald-faced hornets, while technically large yellowjackets, are even more defensive and will coordinate swarm attacks against perceived threats.
For individuals with allergic reactions, a single hornet sting can trigger anaphylaxis requiring immediate medical intervention. Even without allergies, multiple stings from a disturbed colony can cause serious medical complications, particularly dangerous for children, elderly individuals, or anyone with compromised immune systems.
Spring and early summer provide optimal removal conditions because colonies are smaller and less established. However, we provide removal services year-round since waiting isn’t an option when nests threaten family safety or property access.
Late summer through early fall presents maximum risk. Colonies reach peak populations with hundreds of aggressive workers, and hornets become increasingly defensive as they prepare for winter reproduction. This is when most homeowners discover nests and when professional removal becomes most critical.
Winter removal remains important for nests in heated spaces like attics or wall voids. Even apparently dormant nests should be eliminated to prevent reuse and remove attractant pheromones that can draw new colonies to previously successful nesting sites.
DIY hornet removal is extremely dangerous and typically ineffective. Store-bought aerosol treatments require dangerous proximity to nests, often triggering aggressive swarming responses that result in multiple stings and incomplete colony elimination.
Most homeowners drastically underestimate nest complexity. External nest structures often represent only a fraction of the total colony, with extensive tunneling into wall voids, attic spaces, or tree cavities. Partial treatments leave colonies intact and often increase defensive aggression.
Professional removal utilizes specialized protective equipment, extended-reach application systems, and treatments formulated to penetrate complete nest structures. We’re trained to identify escape routes, satellite nests, and the behavioral patterns that DIY attempts consistently miss.
Prevention begins with eliminating conditions that originally attracted hornets to your property. We seal common entry points including gaps in eaves, loose siding, utility penetrations, and the structural vulnerabilities that older rural homes often develop.
We apply residual insecticide treatments that create long-term barriers against future nesting attempts. Hornets demonstrate strong site fidelity, often returning to previously successful nesting locations, making targeted prevention treatments essential for long-term control.
Property modifications reduce overall attractiveness to hornets. This includes managing outdoor food sources, eliminating water sources from leaky fixtures, and removing vegetation that provides nesting materials. We provide specific recommendations tailored to your property’s unique risk factors and landscape features.
Michigan’s only true hornet species is the European hornet—larger, brownish-colored insects that often remain active at night. They typically establish nests in tree cavities, attics, or wall voids rather than the exposed locations preferred by other wasp species.
Bald-faced hornets, despite their common name, are actually large yellowjackets characterized by distinctive white facial markings. They construct the large, football-shaped paper nests commonly observed hanging from tree branches or building overhangs.
Paper wasps create smaller, umbrella-shaped nests with visible honeycomb patterns, usually positioned under eaves or in other protected areas. Ground-nesting yellowjackets typically establish colonies underground or within wall voids and, while smaller than hornets, often display more aggressive defensive behavior when protecting their colonies.
Yes, we provide emergency response for immediate hornet threats that cannot wait for standard scheduling. Emergency situations include nests discovered near children’s play areas, home entrances, or locations where people have already been stung.
Critical scenarios often involve nests in high-traffic areas where avoidance isn’t practical, or cases involving individuals with known allergies who have been exposed to stinging insects. We prioritize these calls and typically provide same-day response during business hours.
Our emergency service includes immediate threat assessment, temporary containment measures when necessary, and complete professional removal as soon as safety conditions allow. We understand that hornet emergencies create legitimate safety concerns requiring urgent professional intervention.
