You’ll stop worrying every time your kids play outside. No more rushing inside when you hear that distinctive buzzing sound near your deck or patio.
The European hornets common in Davison can build nests with hundreds of workers, and they’re active even at night when you least expect them. Once we eliminate the nest completely, you get your outdoor spaces back without the constant threat of aggressive stings.
Your family deserves to enjoy summer evenings and weekend barbecues without scanning the sky for hornets. That peace of mind is exactly what happens after professional removal.
We’ve been handling hornet problems in Davison since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and you get the same technician every visit – not a different face each time.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the entire United States offering specialized canine bed bug detection. That level of expertise extends to everything we do, including safe hornet nest removal.
Davison homeowners trust us because we understand Michigan’s unique pest pressures. We know that European hornets here become particularly active in late summer and that DIY attempts often make the situation more dangerous.
First, we locate every nest on your property – not just the obvious ones you can see. European hornets often build in wall voids, attics, and other hidden spaces that homeowners miss completely.
We treat the nest with specialized equipment designed for stinging insects. The timing matters – most treatments happen at dusk or early evening when the hornets are less active and more likely to be inside the nest.
After the hornets are eliminated, we remove the entire nest structure and seal any entry points they were using. We also check for additional nests because hornets sometimes establish multiple colonies on the same property. You get complete elimination, not just a temporary fix.

Our hornet removal service includes thorough property inspection, safe nest elimination, and prevention measures to stop future infestations. We handle both aerial nests and those built inside structures.
Davison’s location in Genesee County means dealing with European hornets that can measure up to 1.5 inches and build nests containing 200-400 workers by late summer. These hornets are particularly concerning because they’re active at night and can sting multiple times.
We also address the conditions that attract hornets to your property in the first place. This includes removing food sources, sealing entry points, and treating areas where they might attempt to rebuild. Emergency service is available for situations where hornets pose immediate danger to your family.
European hornets can sting multiple times and their colonies can contain 200-400 workers by late summer. Unlike most stinging insects, they’re also active at night, which catches many homeowners off guard.
The real danger comes from their defensive behavior when they feel threatened. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive swarming, and people with allergic reactions can face life-threatening situations. Even without allergies, multiple stings can cause serious medical issues.
This is why professional removal is essential rather than attempting DIY solutions that often escalate the situation.
Most emergency calls receive same-day or next-day service, depending on when you contact us. We prioritize stinging insect problems because of the immediate safety risks they pose to families.
The actual removal process typically takes 1-2 hours, but we also need time to locate all nests on your property and ensure complete elimination. Some situations require follow-up visits to confirm no remaining activity.
We carry specialized equipment specifically for treating aerial nests and ground-dwelling colonies safely, so we can handle whatever type of infestation you’re dealing with.
European hornets are the only true hornets in Michigan and are much larger than yellowjackets or wasps – up to 1.5 inches long. They have distinctive reddish-brown coloring on their thorax and front abdomen section.
The key behavioral difference is that hornets are active at night, unlike most other stinging insects. They also tend to build nests in protected locations like tree cavities, wall voids, and attics rather than the exposed paper nests you see with bald-faced hornets.
Their colonies are typically smaller than yellowjacket colonies but the individual hornets are much larger and more intimidating when encountered.
Properly executed hornet removal eliminates the entire colony and prevents return to that specific location. We remove all nest material and treat the area to discourage future nesting attempts.
However, new hornets can establish different nests elsewhere on your property the following season. This is why many Davison homeowners choose ongoing pest control programs that include preventive treatments during peak nesting season.
We also seal entry points and remove attractants that draw hornets to your property in the first place, significantly reducing the likelihood of new infestations.
Professional hornet removal is much safer than leaving active nests on your property or attempting DIY removal. We use targeted treatments that eliminate the hornets without creating unnecessary risks for your family.
We typically recommend keeping children and pets indoors during the treatment process and for a few hours afterward. This gives us room to work safely and ensures no one accidentally disturbs the area while hornets may still be returning to the treated nest.
Our technicians carry protective equipment and have the training to handle aggressive hornets without putting your family at risk.
Pricing depends on factors like nest location, size of the infestation, and accessibility of the treatment area. Ground-level nests are typically less expensive than those requiring ladder work or specialized access equipment.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We also offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates because choosing local, experienced service shouldn’t cost more than working with less qualified companies.
Many customers find that professional removal costs less than dealing with repeated DIY attempts, medical bills from stings, or property damage from aggressive hornets defending their territory.
