You get immediate relief from the constant threat of painful stings around your home. Your family can safely enjoy outdoor spaces again without fear of aggressive hornets defending their territory.
No more sleepless nights worrying about hornets building massive colonies near your children’s play areas. You’ll have peace of mind knowing the entire nest structure has been professionally eliminated, not just temporarily disrupted.
The hornets won’t return to the same location because we remove the nest completely and treat the area to prevent re-establishment. Your Otisville property becomes a place where you can relax, not constantly scan for flying threats.
We’ve been serving Otisville and surrounding Genesee County communities since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience dealing with Michigan’s most aggressive stinging insects.
We understand Otisville’s rural setting means hornets often establish large colonies in tree lines, outbuildings, and under home eaves. Our family-owned approach means you get the same experienced technician who knows your property and takes personal responsibility for results.
Unlike larger companies that rotate staff, we build relationships with Otisville homeowners. We’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor while maintaining the personalized service that only a local, family-owned business can provide.
We start with a thorough property inspection to locate all hornet activity, not just the obvious nest you’ve spotted. Many Otisville properties have multiple nesting sites that homeowners miss, especially in wooded areas or outbuildings common in our rural community.
Next, we use professional-grade protective equipment and specialized treatments designed to eliminate the entire colony. We don’t just spray and leave – we ensure complete nest elimination and remove the structure to prevent other insects from moving in.
Finally, we treat the area to discourage future nesting and provide you with specific recommendations for your Otisville property. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and have direct access to the same technician if any issues arise.

Your hornet removal service includes complete nest elimination, not just temporary disruption. We handle Michigan’s most common species including bald-faced hornets, European hornets, and aggressive yellowjackets that residents often mistake for true hornets.
Otisville’s mix of rural properties and established neighborhoods creates ideal hornet habitat. We address the specific challenges your property faces, whether that’s hornets in barn eaves, tree-mounted nests, or colonies that have established in home siding.
You receive same-day service when possible, because we understand hornet emergencies can’t wait. Our service includes follow-up monitoring to ensure complete elimination and guidance on preventing future infestations specific to your Otisville location.
We typically provide same-day service for hornet emergencies in Otisville when you call before 2 PM. Emergency situations involving hornets near children’s play areas or main entrances get priority scheduling.
Our rapid response time matters because hornet colonies grow quickly during Michigan’s warm months. A small nest can become a major threat within days, especially with species like bald-faced hornets that can reach 400 individuals per colony.
We understand Otisville residents often work long commutes, so we schedule around your availability. Most hornet removals take 1-2 hours depending on nest location and size, and we handle everything from initial treatment to complete nest removal in a single visit when possible.
The most common “hornet” in Otisville is actually the bald-faced hornet, which is technically a yellowjacket but behaves like a true hornet. These aggressive insects build large gray paper nests in trees, under eaves, and in other protected areas around your property.
European hornets are the only true hornets in Michigan and prefer nesting inside structures like hollow trees, wall voids, or quiet attics. They’re larger than bald-faced hornets and remain active at night, which can be particularly concerning for Otisville families.
Both species become extremely aggressive when defending their nests and can sting repeatedly. The rural setting of many Otisville properties provides ideal habitat for large colonies, making professional removal essential rather than attempting DIY solutions that often make the problem worse.
Professional hornet removal is significantly safer than attempting removal yourself, but we do require pets and children to remain indoors during treatment. Our treatments target the hornets specifically and break down quickly in the environment.
We use protective equipment and specialized application methods that minimize exposure to your family while ensuring complete nest elimination. The biggest safety risk comes from disturbing hornets without proper protection, which can result in multiple stings and potential allergic reactions.
After treatment completion, your property is safe for normal family activities within a few hours. We provide specific guidance about when it’s safe to resume outdoor activities and what to watch for during the elimination process.
Hornet removal costs in Otisville typically range from $150-400 depending on nest location, size, and accessibility. Ground-level nests under eaves cost less than colonies established high in trees or inside wall voids that require specialized equipment.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees before beginning any work. Multiple nests on the same property receive discounted pricing, which is common in Otisville’s rural setting where hornets often establish several colonies on larger properties.
We offer price matching against reasonable competitor quotes and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Our pricing includes complete nest removal and follow-up monitoring to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
Hornets don’t reuse old nests, but they may build new colonies in the same general area if conditions remain favorable. This is why complete nest removal and area treatment are essential parts of our Otisville hornet control service.
The location that attracted the original colony – protected from weather, near food sources, undisturbed space – will continue attracting hornets unless we address those factors. We treat the immediate area and provide recommendations for making your property less attractive to future colonies.
New hornet colonies typically establish 50-100 yards from previous nest sites, so treating just the immediate nest location isn’t sufficient. Our comprehensive approach addresses the broader area around your Otisville property to prevent re-establishment nearby.
Stay away from the nest area and keep children and pets indoors until professional removal can be completed. Hornets become extremely aggressive when they perceive threats to their colony, and disturbing the nest can result in swarm attacks.
Don’t attempt to spray the nest with store-bought products or knock it down yourself. These approaches typically anger the colony without eliminating it, creating a more dangerous situation. Many Otisville residents have been stung multiple times trying DIY removal methods.
Call us immediately for same-day service when possible. Document the nest location from a safe distance if you can, but don’t get closer than 20 feet. The sooner we can eliminate the colony, the safer your property becomes and the less chance the hornets have to establish additional nests nearby.
