You step outside without scanning the trees first. Your kids play in the yard without dodging aggressive hornets. Evening barbecues happen without everyone clustering indoors when the buzzing starts.
That’s what professional hornet control delivers. Complete elimination of the threat, not temporary deterrence. You get your outdoor spaces back, and your family gets to use them safely.
The difference shows up fast. Within hours of treatment, that menacing nest threatening your family is gone. No more cutting yard work short because hornets are patrolling their territory. No more worrying about someone getting stung while enjoying your deck.
We’ve protected New Lothrop families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every hornet exterminator job, understanding exactly what works in Shiawassee County’s unique environment.
New Lothrop’s mature trees and wooded lots create perfect hornet nesting conditions. We know where European hornets build in wall voids, where bald-faced hornets attach their aerial colonies, and which properties face recurring infestations.
You work with the same experienced technician every visit. No rotating staff or part-time college students handling dangerous stinging insects. We’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because consistency and expertise matter when your family’s safety is at stake.
We start with thorough property inspection, locating every nest and identifying the exact hornet species. European hornets require different treatment than bald-faced hornets or aggressive yellowjacket colonies.
Treatment uses commercial-grade products unavailable to consumers, applied with specialized equipment designed for safe hornet control. We target the entire colony structure, not just surface insects, ensuring complete elimination rather than temporary knockdown.
Complete nest removal follows, plus preventative treatment of potential nesting sites. You’ll know exactly what we found, how we eliminated it, and what protection keeps your property hornet-free going forward. If activity returns before your next visit, we handle it at no charge.

Your hornet services cover all species threatening New Lothrop properties. European hornets nesting in attics and wall cavities. Bald-faced hornets building large aerial colonies in trees and eaves. Yellowjacket swarms that become dangerously aggressive in late summer.
New Lothrop’s wooded character creates ideal conditions for these stinging insects. Mature oaks and maples provide attachment points for aerial nests. Home eaves offer protected building sites. Foundation gaps become entry routes for hornets seeking indoor nesting locations.
Our equipment handles nests up to 25 feet high safely. Ground colonies receive targeted treatments penetrating the entire nest structure. Wall void infestations get injection applications that eliminate colonies without driving hornets into living spaces. Every removal includes preventative measures stopping future establishment.
Most hornet emergencies in New Lothrop receive same-day or next-day service, depending on when you contact us. Aggressive hornets near doorways, playgrounds, or outdoor living spaces get immediate priority scheduling.
You speak directly with our local team, not a distant call center. We provide realistic timeframes during your initial call and dispatch experienced technicians who understand the urgency of stinging insect threats.
Actual nest removal takes 1-2 hours, but results show immediately. Hornet activity around treated areas stops within hours. Complete colony elimination occurs within 24-48 hours, giving your family immediate relief from the danger.
New Lothrop faces three main stinging insects commonly called hornets. European hornets are Michigan’s only true hornet species – large, brown and yellow insects that often nest inside wall voids, attics, or hollow trees.
Bald-faced hornets are actually aggressive wasps with distinctive black and white markings. They construct large, gray, football-shaped nests hanging from tree branches or building eaves. These insects attack with minimal provocation and can sting repeatedly.
Yellowjackets round out the threat, becoming increasingly dangerous in late summer when colonies reach maximum size. They nest underground or in wall cavities, defending their territory aggressively as they search for food sources before winter arrives.
DIY hornet removal creates extreme danger and typically worsens the situation. Store-bought sprays kill only surface insects while agitating entire colonies. This triggers defensive swarming that puts you at serious risk of multiple, painful stings.
Hornets sting repeatedly without losing their stingers, and their venom becomes more concentrated during defensive attacks. Michigan reports thousands of annual hospitalizations from wasp and hornet encounters. Allergic individuals face potentially life-threatening reactions.
Professional removal uses specialized protective equipment, commercial-grade treatments, and proven techniques that eliminate entire colonies safely. We understand hornet behavior patterns and know exactly how to approach different nest types without triggering dangerous swarm responses.
Prevention begins with eliminating conditions attracting hornets to your property. We seal cracks around eaves, soffits, and potential nesting sites. Wood-chewing species like bald-faced hornets target weathered, unpainted surfaces for nest construction materials.
Spring treatments focus on areas where queen hornets scout for colony locations. These overwintered females emerge seeking protected sites to establish new nests. Preventative applications in prime locations discourage establishment before colonies develop.
Regular property inspections catch new nests while they remain small and manageable. Early-season colonies contain only queens and few workers, making removal much safer than confronting fully developed nests with hundreds of aggressive defenders protecting their territory.
Stay calm and immediately keep everyone away from the nest area. Never attempt to spray, knock down, or disturb the colony in any way. Hornets have excellent vision and will attack anything perceived as threatening their nest.
Note the location from a safe distance so you can guide our technician to the exact spot. Hornets remain most active during daylight hours, so avoid the entire area until professional removal is complete. If the nest blocks essential pathways, use alternate routes temporarily.
Contact us immediately for emergency removal service. Don’t wait hoping the problem resolves itself – hornet colonies expand rapidly throughout summer, becoming increasingly dangerous as they grow. Early professional intervention is always safer and more cost-effective.
We guarantee complete satisfaction with our hornet removal service. If you observe continued activity around treated nest sites, we return for re-treatment at no additional charge. Total colony elimination is the standard we’ve maintained throughout our 20-year history.
Our guarantee covers specific treated nests, though new hornets may establish different colonies elsewhere on your property. Many New Lothrop customers choose ongoing seasonal protection rather than reactive one-time treatments for comprehensive coverage.
We’ve built our reputation on lasting results. Most customers see immediate elimination of hornet threats and maintain excellent control throughout peak season. If our treatment doesn’t deliver the protection you expected, we make it right without question.
