Our hornet nest removal eliminates the immediate danger and prevents new colonies from establishing in those same attractive spots around your Frankenmuth property. You can use your deck, patio, and yard the same day once treatment dries—usually within 30-45 minutes.
Within 24-48 hours, you’ll see a dramatic reduction in hornet activity. The aggressive buzzing around your doors and windows stops. Your family can enjoy your outdoor spaces again.
We’ve been serving Frankenmuth since 2005, back when the city was still growing its reputation as Michigan’s Little Bavaria. We understand how your local environment creates perfect hornet nesting conditions—the mature oak trees lining residential streets, the traditional German-style architecture with plenty of eaves and overhangs, the wooded areas that border many properties.
Roger brings 26 years of pest control experience to every hornet removal job. You get the same trained technician every visit, not a rotating cast of part-time college students who don’t know your property or understand hornet behavior.
We’ve earned integrated pest management certification and maintain a 4.7-star rating from over 363 local customers who trust us to handle their most dangerous pest problems safely and completely.
First, we inspect your property to locate all nests and identify the specific hornet species. Many Frankenmuth homeowners miss secondary nests tucked under deck railings or mistake beneficial insects for dangerous hornets. Proper identification determines the safest removal approach.
We schedule your hornet exterminator service for optimal timing—typically early morning or evening when most hornets are inside the nest and activity is lowest. This minimizes the risk of aggressive swarming behavior that can turn dangerous quickly.
We apply professional-grade treatments that penetrate the entire nest structure, eliminating the colony at its source. We use specialized dust and liquid applications not available to homeowners that ensure complete kill throughout the nest chambers. Then we safely remove the physical nest and treat surrounding areas to prevent reestablishment.
The whole hornet control process takes about 30-45 minutes. You can use your yard the same day once everything dries.

Your hornet removal service includes complete nest elimination, preventative treatment of potential nesting sites, and follow-up monitoring to ensure the problem doesn’t return to your Frankenmuth property.
Frankenmuth’s unique landscape creates numerous attractive nesting sites for hornets. The mix of mature trees, decorative landscaping around Bavarian-style homes, and proximity to the Cass River provides ideal conditions. We know exactly where to look—under the distinctive timber-framed eaves, in wall voids of older construction, around outdoor structures, and in the wooded areas that make this community so appealing.
Michigan hornets become particularly aggressive during late summer when colonies reach peak size, sometimes housing thousands of insects. Our timing and approach account for local behavior patterns and seasonal activity levels specific to our region.
You’ll also get our 90-day service guarantee on all hornet exterminator work, plus discounts available for seniors, veterans, and first responders in the Frankenmuth community.
We typically provide same-day or next-day hornet removal service in Frankenmuth, especially for urgent situations involving aggressive hornets near high-traffic areas like front doors, children’s play areas, or outdoor dining spaces.
Emergency calls get prioritized because hornet stings can be life-threatening for people with allergies, and hornets become increasingly aggressive as colonies grow throughout the summer. We understand that waiting isn’t an option when hornets are actively defending a nest near your family’s daily activities.
Most hornet nest removals are scheduled for early morning or evening hours when hornets are least active, making the process safer for everyone involved. If you call before 2 PM, we can often provide same-day service, weather permitting.
True hornets in Michigan are primarily European hornets—large, yellow-striped insects measuring up to 1.5 inches that build enclosed paper nests in tree cavities or wall voids. What most Frankenmuth residents call “hornets” are actually bald-faced hornets (technically wasps) or yellowjackets.
Bald-faced hornets build those distinctive gray, football-shaped nests you see hanging from trees, eaves, or porch overhangs around Frankenmuth properties. They’re aggressive defenders and can sting multiple times. Yellowjackets often nest underground or inside wall cavities and are more aggressive around food sources during late summer.
All three species require different hornet control approaches for safe, complete elimination. We identify the specific species before treatment to ensure we use the most effective method and avoid the common mistakes that make these insects more aggressive.
Yes, once our hornet exterminator treatment dries—which takes about 30-45 minutes—your pets and children can safely use the treated areas. We use EPA-registered products specifically approved for residential use around families, and our application methods minimize exposure.
During the actual hornet nest removal, we ask that people and pets stay inside as a precaution while we’re applying treatments. This isn’t because the products are dangerous when used properly, but because it’s industry best practice to avoid any exposure during the application process.
Many of our Frankenmuth customers have used our hornet removal service for years with dogs, cats, and young children without any issues. We’re happy to provide detailed safety data sheets if you want to review the technical specifications of our treatment products.
Hornet removal costs in the Frankenmuth area typically range from $85 to $838, depending on nest size, location accessibility, and the complexity of the removal. Most single-nest removals for standard locations fall in the $150-300 range.
Factors affecting your final cost include nest height requiring ladder work, wall void access that needs specialized equipment, multiple nests on your property, and the specific hornet species involved. Bald-faced hornet nests in high locations cost more than ground-level yellowjacket treatments.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges, and we offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. We’ll also match reasonable competitor pricing. The investment is worthwhile considering the safety risks and potential medical costs if someone in your family gets stung multiple times.
Properly executed hornet removal eliminates the current colony and significantly reduces the chance of reestablishment in the same location. However, new hornet queens can potentially start fresh colonies in future seasons, especially around Frankenmuth’s ideal nesting environment.
Our hornet control service includes treating surrounding areas where hornets might attempt to rebuild, plus we provide a 90-day guarantee on all removal work. If you see renewed hornet activity within that period, we return at no additional charge to address the problem.
Many customers opt for our seasonal monitoring program to catch any new hornet activity early, before colonies have time to establish and become aggressive. This preventative approach is especially valuable given how quickly hornet populations can explode during Michigan’s warm summer months.
We strongly advise against DIY hornet nest removal, especially for aerial nests or colonies established in wall voids. Hornets can sting multiple times and become extremely aggressive when their nest is threatened, often swarming in coordinated attacks that can overwhelm a person quickly.
Store-bought hornet sprays typically only kill surface insects, leaving the majority of the colony intact and highly agitated. This frequently leads to more aggressive behavior and increased stinging incidents over the following days. Many homeowners end up in emergency rooms after failed DIY attempts.
Professional hornet removal uses specialized protective equipment, professional-grade treatments that eliminate entire colonies, and proper timing to minimize risk. We understand hornet behavior patterns and know how to approach nests safely. The risk of serious injury, incomplete removal, or making the problem worse makes professional service the smart choice for hornet problems in Frankenmuth.
