You’ll finally be able to use your yard again without fear. No more canceling backyard barbecues or keeping kids inside because of aggressive hornets circling your home.
Your family can walk to the car, work in the garden, or simply enjoy being outside without constantly looking over their shoulders. We don’t just spray and hope – we eliminate the entire colony and seal entry points so they can’t come back.
The peace of mind you’ll have knowing those dangerous nests are completely gone is worth everything. You’ll sleep better knowing your family is safe from potentially life-threatening stings.
We’ve been keeping Morrice families safe since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every hornet removal job – he’s seen every type of nest situation you can imagine.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a company that sends different technicians every time. You get the same experienced professional who knows your property and understands exactly what it takes to keep hornets away for good.
In a tight-knit community like Morrice where everyone knows everyone, your reputation matters. That’s why we’ve built our business on doing the job right the first time, treating every home like it’s our own.
First, we locate every nest on your property – not just the obvious ones. We check under eaves, in wall voids, around decks, and anywhere hornets like to build. You’d be surprised how many nests homeowners miss.
Next comes the elimination. We use professional-grade equipment that reaches nests safely, even the ones 25 feet up in trees or tucked inside wall cavities. Our liquid and dust treatments penetrate the entire colony, eliminating every hornet including the queen.
Finally, we seal the entry points. Hornets are creatures of habit – they’ll try to rebuild in the same spots if given the chance. We close off those access points so new colonies can’t establish themselves on your property.

Every hornet removal includes a complete property inspection, not just treatment of the obvious nests. We examine every potential nesting site around your home because hornets are sneaky about where they build.
You’ll receive same-day or next-day service when you have an active threat. Hornets don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. Emergency calls get priority because we understand how dangerous these situations can become.
In Morrice’s rural setting, properties often have multiple outbuildings, wood piles, and mature trees – all prime hornet real estate. We treat your entire property as one unit, checking barns, sheds, and fence lines where hornets commonly establish secondary nests that most companies miss.
Hornet stings are significantly more dangerous than regular bee stings. A single hornet can sting multiple times, injecting more venom with each attack. For people with allergies, even one sting can trigger anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal without immediate medical treatment.
Call for emergency removal immediately if you see hornets swarming around your home, if anyone in your family is allergic to stings, or if you’ve discovered a nest near high-traffic areas like doorways or children’s play areas. Don’t wait – hornets become more aggressive as their colonies grow larger throughout the summer.
Even if no one in your family has known allergies, hornet stings can cause severe reactions in people who’ve never been stung before. The risk isn’t worth taking when professional removal can eliminate the threat completely within hours.
True hornets in Michigan are typically European hornets – large, yellow and black insects about 2-3 inches long with wider heads than wasps. What most people call “hornets” are actually bald-faced hornets, which are technically yellowjackets but build the large, gray, football-shaped nests you see hanging from trees.
Both are more aggressive than regular wasps and pack a more powerful sting. Hornets build paper-like nests from chewed wood fibers, while yellowjackets often nest underground or in wall voids. The key difference for homeowners is that hornets defend their nests more aggressively and their stings are more painful.
Regardless of the exact species, if you’re dealing with large, aggressive stinging insects around your Morrice property, they need professional removal. Trying to identify them yourself means getting close enough to put yourself in danger.
Store-bought sprays rarely eliminate entire colonies and often make the situation more dangerous. If you miss any part of the nest or don’t penetrate deep enough, you’ll have angry, aggressive hornets swarming around your property with nowhere specific to go.
Most retail products don’t have the reach needed for high nests or the penetrating power to get through the papery nest material to the colony inside. You end up with a partially destroyed nest and hornets looking for revenge.
Professional equipment allows us to treat nests from safe distances and deliver treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including larvae and the queen. We also have protective gear and the experience to handle situations when hornets become aggressive during treatment.
Prevention starts with eliminating what attracts hornets to your property in the first place. We seal cracks and gaps in siding, eaves, and around windows where hornets typically start new nests. These insects are creatures of habit – they’ll return to the same general areas if given access.
We also remove food sources that draw hornets. This includes cleaning up fallen fruit from trees, securing garbage cans, and addressing other insect problems that hornets prey on. In rural Morrice, this often means dealing with underlying pest issues around barns and outbuildings.
Our follow-up service includes monitoring for new activity and retreating if necessary. Hornet queens that survive winter will try to establish new colonies in spring, so we watch for early warning signs and address them before nests become established.
Late summer through early fall is when hornet colonies reach peak size and become most aggressive. August and September are particularly dangerous because colonies can contain hundreds or even thousands of hornets, all defending their nest.
Spring is actually the best time for prevention and early treatment. New queens are just starting to build nests, so colonies are small and easier to eliminate. If you see hornets around your property in April or May, that’s the time to call before the situation becomes dangerous.
However, don’t wait if you discover an active nest regardless of season. Even smaller spring colonies can be dangerous, especially around children or anyone with allergies. We provide emergency removal year-round because hornet threats don’t follow convenient schedules.
Cost depends on several factors: nest location, size of the colony, and accessibility. Ground-level nests are typically less expensive than ones requiring ladder work or specialized equipment to reach high locations in trees or under roof lines.
Most hornet removal jobs in the Morrice area range from reasonable service call fees to more involved treatments for multiple nests or difficult access situations. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and we offer price matching against legitimate competitor quotes.
Remember that professional removal includes follow-up service and prevention measures that DIY approaches can’t match. When you factor in the safety risks and the likelihood of needing multiple treatments with store-bought products, professional service is often more cost-effective than attempting it yourself.
