You get complete peace of mind knowing every hornet and their nest is eliminated from your property. No more worrying about family members accidentally disturbing a hidden nest while doing yard work or children playing outside.
Your outdoor spaces become safe again. Barbecues, gardening, and simple activities like checking the mail happen without the constant threat of aggressive hornets defending their territory.
The problem stays solved because we don’t just spray the visible hornets. We eliminate entire colonies at their source and seal entry points so new hornets can’t establish nests in the same locations.
We’ve been Fowlerville’s trusted hornet removal specialist since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every hornet problem, which means he’s seen every type of nest situation Michigan properties face.
We’re the local family business that assigns the same technician to your property year after year. No strangers showing up who don’t understand your specific situation or property layout.
Fowlerville’s mature trees and residential properties create ideal nesting conditions for both European hornets and bald-faced hornets. We know exactly where these aggressive insects prefer to build, how they behave throughout the season, and what it takes to eliminate them completely without putting your family at risk.
First, we conduct a thorough property inspection to locate every active nest and identify the specific hornet species. European hornets often hide inside wall voids and attics where they’re hardest to detect, while bald-faced hornets build their football-shaped nests in trees and under eaves.
Next, we apply targeted treatments directly to nesting sites using specialized equipment that penetrates deep into colonies. Our combination of liquid and dust treatments ensures we reach every hornet at their source, including larvae that could cause future problems.
Finally, we remove the physical nest structure and seal entry points where hornets might try to rebuild. This prevents reoccupation and gives you long-term protection rather than just a temporary fix.

Our hornet removal service includes emergency response for immediate threats when nests pose active danger to family members. We also provide scheduled removal for preventive control and ongoing protection plans for properties with recurring issues.
Fowlerville’s location puts properties at risk for both European hornets that can build colonies with 400 workers by late summer, and bald-faced hornets that construct aerial nests up to 20 feet high. We’re equipped to handle both species safely regardless of nest location or height.
You receive senior, veteran, and first responder discounts because everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home. We also provide warranties on our work and follow-up inspections to ensure the problem stays solved.
Hornet nests pose serious safety risks because a single nest can house 100 to 700 aggressive insects capable of delivering hundreds of painful stings. Unlike bees that die after stinging once, hornets can sting repeatedly and release chemical signals that call other hornets to attack.
European hornets, the only true hornets in Michigan, often nest inside structures like attics and wall voids where they’re hardest to detect. Bald-faced hornets build aerial nests that can reach 20 feet high and defend them aggressively when threatened.
The danger increases significantly from spring through late summer as colonies grow from just a few dozen hornets to several hundred. Even small nests contain dozens of aggressive defenders that will swarm if disturbed.
Professional hornet removal in Fowlerville typically ranges from $300 to $700, depending on nest location, size, and accessibility. Ground-level nests cost less than those requiring specialized equipment to reach attics, wall voids, or high tree locations.
Early intervention reduces costs by 30-50% compared to waiting until nests reach maximum size in late summer. Small spring nests are much easier and less expensive to eliminate than large colonies with hundreds of workers.
The investment is minimal compared to potential medical bills from severe stinging incidents or emergency room visits for allergic reactions. We also provide senior, veteran, and first responder discounts to make professional removal more affordable for qualifying families.
DIY hornet removal puts you at serious risk of multiple stings and potential medical emergencies. Hornets defend nests aggressively, can sting repeatedly without dying, and release chemicals that signal other hornets to attack when they feel threatened.
Store-bought sprays rarely eliminate entire colonies and often make surviving hornets more aggressive. Partial treatment leads to continued problems and potentially more dangerous encounters as remaining hornets become defensive about their damaged nest.
Professional exterminators use specialized protective equipment, proven treatment methods, and have experience managing aggressive insect behavior. We can safely reach high nests and hidden locations that would be impossible or extremely dangerous for homeowners to access.
Early spring through early summer offers the best timing for hornet nest removal when colonies are smallest and least aggressive. Small nests with just a few dozen hornets are much easier and safer to eliminate than large late-summer colonies.
However, active nests should be removed immediately regardless of season because the danger to family members outweighs timing considerations. Hornets become more aggressive and territorial as colonies grow, making delayed removal increasingly hazardous.
We provide emergency response for immediate threats and can safely eliminate nests year-round using specialized equipment and protective gear. Waiting for “better timing” often means dealing with larger, more dangerous colonies that cost more to remove.
We conduct thorough property inspections using systematic approaches to locate both visible and hidden nests. European hornets often build inside wall voids, attics, and hollow trees where only trained professionals know to look for subtle signs of activity.
Our inspection process includes checking common nesting sites like eaves, soffits, tree cavities, and structural voids where hornets prefer to build. We also observe flight patterns and entry points that indicate nest locations not immediately visible.
Professional identification is crucial because European hornets and bald-faced hornets have different nesting habits and require different treatment approaches. We provide detailed reports with photos so you understand exactly what we found and how we’ll eliminate the problem.
Yes, we provide warranties on our hornet removal work and follow-up inspections to ensure the problem stays solved. Our treatment targets entire colonies at their source rather than just visible hornets, which prevents reoccupation and recurring problems.
We also seal entry points and potential nesting sites to provide long-term protection rather than temporary fixes. If hornets return to treated areas within the warranty period, we’ll return to address the issue at no additional cost.
Our 20 years of experience in Fowlerville means we understand local hornet behavior and seasonal patterns. We stand behind our work because we use proven methods that eliminate colonies completely rather than partial treatments that often fail.
