Hornet Nest Removal Process

Safe, Complete Nest Elimination

We start with a thorough property inspection to locate all hornet nests, including hidden ones in eaves, attics, or tree hollows. Our technician identifies the hornet species and assesses the colony size to determine the safest removal approach.

Next, we apply targeted treatments directly to the nest using professional-grade materials that eliminate the entire colony. We use specialized equipment to reach difficult locations safely, protecting both our technician and your property during the process.

After the hornets are eliminated, we remove the nest structure and seal entry points to prevent future infestations. We also treat surrounding areas where hornets might attempt to rebuild, giving you long-term protection.

Our local expertise means we know exactly where hornets prefer to nest on Michigan properties and which species pose the greatest risk to your family. We also provide seasonal guidance to help you spot early warning signs before colonies become established.

Hornet stings are significantly more dangerous than most people realize. Unlike bees, hornets can sting multiple times without losing their stinger, and they inject venom with each sting.In Michigan, thousands of people require medical attention annually for hornet stings, and approximately 1,500 Americans die each year from allergic reactions to stinging insects. Even if you’ve never had an allergic reaction before, you can develop sensitivity over time.European hornets, the most common true hornet in Michigan, deliver particularly painful stings and become aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you see hornets around your property, professional removal is the safest option to protect your family.
Professional hornet removal in Cohoctah Center typically ranges from $300 to $600, depending on nest size, location, and accessibility. Basic outdoor nests below the roofline cost less, while nests in attics, walls, or high tree locations require more time and specialized equipment.The investment is worthwhile when you consider the safety risks and potential medical costs of hornet stings. DIY removal often fails to eliminate the entire colony, leading to repeated infestations and higher long-term costs.We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, plus discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.
Michigan hornet activity peaks from late July through September, when colonies reach maximum size and become most aggressive. Queen hornets start new colonies in spring, but you typically won’t notice significant activity until mid-summer.By fall, colonies can house hundreds or even thousands of hornets, making removal more dangerous and expensive. Late summer is when most hornet stings occur because the insects become territorial and aggressive around their nests.The best time for removal is early summer when colonies are smaller and less established. However, we safely remove hornet nests year-round and can handle even large, mature colonies that pose immediate threats to your family.
The most obvious sign is seeing multiple hornets flying around your property, especially near eaves, trees, or outbuildings. You might also notice a paper-like nest that’s gray or brown in color, often football-shaped and hanging from branches or building overhangs.Listen for buzzing sounds coming from walls, attics, or hollow trees. European hornets are active at dusk and attracted to lights, so you might see them around outdoor fixtures in the evening.If you find a nest, don’t approach it or attempt removal yourself. Hornets become extremely aggressive when their colony is threatened and will attack in large numbers. Call professional hornet removal immediately to assess the situation safely.
Proper professional removal eliminates the existing colony and prevents hornets from returning to the same location. We remove the entire nest structure and treat surrounding areas with residual products that deter future nesting attempts.However, new hornet queens can establish different colonies elsewhere on your property the following season. This is why we recommend annual inspections and preventive treatments, especially if your property has ideal nesting conditions like mature trees or outbuildings.Our service includes follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination and guidance on reducing factors that attract hornets. Most customers see long-term success with professional removal combined with basic prevention measures.
DIY hornet removal is extremely dangerous and rarely successful. Hornets can sting multiple times and will swarm to defend their colony when threatened. Even protective clothing may not prevent stings, and hornet venom can cause severe allergic reactions.Store-bought sprays often fail to eliminate the entire colony, leading to repeated attacks and partial nest removal that allows hornets to rebuild. Professional removal requires specialized equipment, protective gear, and knowledge of hornet behavior to ensure complete elimination.The medical costs from multiple hornet stings, plus the expense of repeated DIY attempts, usually exceed the cost of professional removal. Our technicians have the training and equipment to remove nests safely while protecting your family and property.
