When hornets build nests around your Montrose home, your family loses access to their own property. Kids can’t play outside safely. Evening barbecues become indoor affairs. You’re essentially trapped while aggressive insects control your outdoor spaces.
Professional hornet removal changes that immediately. Within hours of treatment, you’ll step outside without scanning for threats. Your children can play in the yard again without fear. Weekend gatherings happen where they should – on your deck, in your garden, throughout the outdoor spaces you’ve worked to create.
Complete nest elimination delivers more than pest control. It gives your family their outdoor freedom back.
We’ve protected Montrose families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every hornet control job, understanding exactly how Michigan’s stinging insects behave around Genesee County homes.
We know Montrose’s unique challenges. The mature trees throughout the area provide ideal nesting sites for bald-faced hornets. Late summer brings peak activity when colonies reach maximum size and aggression. These aren’t abstract pest control concepts – they’re daily realities for families in our community.
You get the same experienced technician every visit. No rotating cast of part-time workers learning on your property. Just consistent expertise that builds on previous visits to deliver better results for your specific situation.
We start with thorough property inspection to locate every nest and identify species. This matters because bald-faced hornets build aerial nests requiring different approaches than underground yellowjacket colonies. Knowing exactly what we’re dealing with determines the safest, most effective removal strategy.
Treatment eliminates the entire colony using professional-grade products unavailable to consumers. Our technicians wear full protective gear and use specialized equipment to safely treat nests up to 25 feet high. We target both adult hornets and larvae – partial elimination just creates angry survivors.
Complete removal includes nest structure elimination and entry point sealing. We don’t spray and disappear like many companies. Every job includes monitoring to ensure no remaining activity and free callbacks if hornets return between scheduled visits.

August represents peak danger in Montrose as hornet colonies reach maximum aggression. Our emergency response includes specialized treatments for aerial nests hanging from eaves and underground yellowjacket colonies hidden in landscaping. We handle the risk so your family doesn’t face potentially life-threatening encounters.
Most hornet emergencies in Montrose receive same-day response when you call before 2 PM, next-day service for later calls. We prioritize stinging insect emergencies because of the immediate danger they pose to families, especially during Michigan’s peak hornet season.
Our local focus on Genesee County allows faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions. When you contact us, you speak directly with our team who can assess urgency and dispatch appropriate technicians immediately.
Emergency situations like nests near doorways, play areas, or inside wall voids get priority scheduling. We maintain equipment specifically for urgent hornet removal because some pest problems simply cannot wait when family safety is at stake.
European hornets are Michigan’s only true hornets, typically nesting in tree hollows, wall voids, or quiet attics around Montrose properties. They’re larger than most wasps with distinctive orange-brown coloring and are most active at dusk.
Bald-faced hornets, despite their name, are actually aggressive yellowjackets that build large aerial nests. These black and white insects are considered Michigan’s most aggressive stinging species and often nest in the mature trees common throughout Montrose neighborhoods.
Eastern yellowjackets frequently build underground colonies or nest in wall cavities, making them harder to locate but equally dangerous. All these species can sting repeatedly and become increasingly territorial during late summer when colonies peak in size and aggression.
Professional hornet removal eliminates entire colonies using commercial-grade treatments and specialized protective equipment unavailable to homeowners. DIY attempts often result in partial elimination that creates more aggressive survivors and increases sting risk.
Store-bought sprays rarely reach all colony members and frequently agitate hornets without killing them. Approaching nests without proper training and equipment often triggers defensive swarms that can overwhelm amateur removal attempts, especially during peak aggression periods.
Our technicians have extensive training in hornet behavior and nest elimination techniques. We use professional-grade treatments that ensure complete colony elimination and carry equipment necessary to safely handle nests in challenging locations like high eaves or wall voids.
Late summer, particularly August, brings peak hornet danger around Montrose homes. Colonies reach maximum size during this period, with some nests containing hundreds of aggressive insects defending their territory with minimal provocation.
Early summer hornets focus on colony building and are generally less aggressive unless directly threatened. By August, established colonies become highly territorial, attacking anyone who approaches nesting areas or even walks nearby.
This timing coincides with peak outdoor family activities – children playing in yards, homeowners completing summer projects, families enjoying evening barbecues. The combination of maximum hornet aggression and increased human activity creates the highest risk period for dangerous encounters.
Yes, we guarantee complete nest elimination and provide free callbacks if hornets return between scheduled visits. Our treatments target entire colonies, including larvae, to prevent survivors from rebuilding in treated areas.
Unlike companies that spray and leave, we monitor treated locations to ensure no remaining activity before considering jobs complete. If you observe hornet activity after our treatment, we return at no charge to resolve the situation completely.
This guarantee reflects 20 years of experience serving Montrose families and our commitment to delivering results rather than just treatments. When we eliminate a hornet nest, it stays eliminated – that’s the standard we’ve maintained throughout Genesee County.
You work with the same experienced technician every visit instead of different workers who don’t know your property. This consistency means better results because your technician understands your specific challenges and builds on previous treatments.
