Your family enjoys outdoor activities again while our preventative approach keeps new colonies from establishing. The same experienced technician handles your property year after year, learning exactly what works best for your specific situation.
We’ve been protecting Lake Victoria families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience dealing with Michigan’s most dangerous stinging insects.
We’re the family-owned company that treats every customer like family – not a number on a service route. Your technician stays with you year after year, understanding your property’s unique challenges and adjusting treatments based on what works.
Lake Victoria’s wooded areas and lakefront properties create perfect conditions for bald-faced hornets and aggressive yellowjackets. We know exactly where they nest, how they behave, and what it takes to eliminate them safely without putting your family at risk.
First, we locate every nest on your property – including the hidden underground yellowjacket colonies that most companies miss. Our experienced eye spots nests in trees, under eaves, in wall voids, and buried in your lawn where you could accidentally step on them.
Next, we eliminate the entire colony using professional-grade treatments that reach every hornet in the nest. We don’t just spray the outside and hope for the best – we ensure complete elimination of adults, larvae, and the queen.
Finally, we remove the nest structure and treat the area to prevent reestablishment. Your technician explains what attracted them initially and provides specific recommendations to keep hornets from choosing your property again.

Your hornet removal includes complete nest elimination, not just a spray-and-hope approach. We handle bald-faced hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps with the specialized equipment and protective gear needed for safe removal.
Lake Victoria’s proximity to wooded areas means you’re dealing with some of Michigan’s most aggressive hornets. Bald-faced hornets build basketball-sized nests and sting repeatedly when threatened. Underground yellowjacket colonies can house thousands of insects that swarm when disturbed.
Our service includes follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination, preventative recommendations specific to your property, and the same technician who learns your unique situation. You get fair pricing with our price-matching policy and no binding contracts that trap you in unwanted service agreements.
Lake Victoria deals with bald-faced hornets and yellowjackets – Michigan’s most aggressive stinging insects. Bald-faced hornets have smooth, venom-filled stingers and will attack with minimal provocation, stinging repeatedly.
They’re actually yellowjackets despite the name, and they’re considered the most painful sting you’ll encounter in Michigan. Their nests can house 300-500 workers by late summer, and the entire colony will defend aggressively when threatened.
Underground yellowjacket nests pose an additional danger because they’re invisible until you accidentally step on them. These colonies can contain thousands of insects that swarm immediately, creating a life-threatening situation for anyone with allergies.
Early morning or late evening when hornets are least active provides the safest removal window. However, professional removal shouldn’t wait for perfect timing when you’re dealing with aggressive colonies near your home.
Peak hornet activity runs from June through mid-August in Michigan. Nests are smaller and easier to eliminate in spring, but established colonies require professional equipment and experience regardless of timing.
Waiting often makes the problem worse as colonies grow rapidly through summer. A small nest in May becomes a basketball-sized threat by August with hundreds of aggressive defenders protecting it.
Professional hornet removal typically ranges from $300-$475 for standard nests, depending on location, size, and accessibility. Multiple nests or difficult locations like inside walls or high trees increase the cost.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees and offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates. The cost includes complete nest elimination, follow-up service, and preventative recommendations.
DIY attempts often fail and create more dangerous situations when partially treated colonies become extremely aggressive. Professional removal eliminates the safety risks and ensures complete elimination the first time.
Properly executed professional removal eliminates the entire colony, preventing return to that specific nest location. However, new colonies can establish if conditions remain favorable.
Our treatment includes removing the nest structure and treating the area to discourage reestablishment. We also identify and address the factors that attracted hornets initially – food sources, shelter options, and entry points.
Your technician provides specific recommendations for your property based on years of experience with Lake Victoria’s unique conditions. Many customers choose our seasonal programs to prevent new infestations before they become established.
Yes, we handle hornets that have nested inside wall voids, attics, and other structural areas. These situations require specialized approach and equipment to eliminate the colony without causing unnecessary property damage.
Wall-dwelling colonies are particularly dangerous because hornets may emerge inside your home while defending their nest. We locate entry points, eliminate the colony, and remove accessible nest material to prevent odor and secondary pest issues.
These removals often require follow-up treatments to catch any returning foragers and ensure complete elimination. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption while ensuring your family’s safety throughout the process.
Yes, we stand behind our hornet removal work with service guarantees. If hornets return to the treated nest location within the warranty period, we return at no additional charge to resolve the issue.
Our 26 years of experience means we know what works for complete elimination. We don’t just spray and leave – we ensure the entire colony is eliminated and the nest structure is properly addressed.
The same technician handles your follow-up needs, so there’s no explaining your situation to different people each time. We’re a family-owned business that builds long-term relationships based on reliable results and honest service.
