You shouldn’t have to scan your deck for wasps before letting the kids outside. You shouldn’t have to abandon backyard barbecues because hornets keep dive-bombing your guests. When wasp nests get handled right, your outdoor spaces become yours again.
Professional wasp nest removal means complete elimination of the colony, not temporary fixes that leave you wondering if they’ll come back. Your family gets immediate relief from the constant threat of stings, especially critical if anyone has allergies.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. No more jumping every time you hear buzzing near the house. No more avoiding your own property because of aggressive wasps defending their territory.
We’ve been protecting Goodrich families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every wasp removal job, and here’s what makes the difference: you get the same technician every visit.
No rotating cast of part-time college students. No explaining your wasp problem to strangers every time. Your technician learns your property, knows where wasps like to build, and stays ahead of problems before they become dangerous situations.
We’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because this approach works. Goodrich residents deal with seasonal wasp pressures that peak in late summer when colonies reach maximum size. Your technician understands these local patterns and has the tools to handle everything from paper wasps under eaves to aggressive yellowjacket ground nests.
First, we locate every nest on your property. Wasps build in tricky spots like wall voids, underground cavities, and high eaves that most homeowners can’t safely reach. Our inspection identifies not just the obvious nests, but satellite colonies that keep the problem going.
Next, we eliminate the entire colony using targeted treatments that reach every wasp, including the queen. Surface sprays don’t work because they only kill foraging workers while leaving the nest intact. We use specialized equipment to treat nests in hard-to-reach areas without damaging your property.
Finally, we remove the physical nest structure and treat surrounding areas to prevent recolonization. Many companies spray and leave, but empty nests attract new colonies. We handle complete removal and apply residual treatments that discourage future nesting in the same locations.

Emergency response within 24-48 hours for urgent wasp situations. When you discover an active nest near high-traffic areas or someone gets stung, we prioritize these calls because delays increase danger.
Complete species identification and customized treatment. Goodrich properties deal with paper wasps, yellowjackets, bald-faced hornets, and cicada killers. Each species requires different approaches because their nesting habits and aggression levels vary significantly.
Safe removal methods that protect your family and pets. We use integrated pest management techniques, specialized protective equipment, and targeted applications that eliminate wasps without broad-spectrum spraying around your home. Most treatments allow normal use of treated areas within hours.
Your service includes follow-up monitoring and free callbacks if wasps return to treated areas. Real wasp control isn’t one-and-done. We ensure complete elimination and stand behind our work with guarantees that matter.
Most wasp emergencies in Goodrich get addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations like nests near doorways or play areas. Response time depends on the specific location and species involved.
Aggressive species like bald-faced hornets or large yellowjacket colonies get priority scheduling because they pose immediate danger to your family. We keep our service area focused on Genesee County specifically so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions.
When you call, you’re talking directly to our local team, not a call center. We assess your situation and give you a realistic timeframe, plus specific appointment windows. No generic “sometime this week” responses.
DIY wasp nest removal is extremely dangerous and not recommended. Nests contain far more wasps than most people realize – colonies can house thousands of individuals by late summer, and they coordinate attacks when threatened.
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times and don’t die after stinging. They also release pheromones that alert other colony members to attack, often resulting in multiple painful stings. Professional removal requires specialized protective equipment, proper identification of species and nest location, and targeted treatment methods.
Many DIY attempts make the situation worse by agitating the colony without eliminating it. Partial treatments leave angry survivors that become more aggressive. Professional exterminators have the training, equipment, and experience to handle complete elimination safely.
Goodrich residents typically encounter paper wasps, yellowjackets, bald-faced hornets, and cicada killers. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs. They’re less aggressive but will defend nests if disturbed.
Yellowjackets are the most problematic, building large colonies underground or in wall voids. They become extremely aggressive in late summer and can sting repeatedly. Bald-faced hornets create large aerial nests and attack with little provocation.
Each species requires different removal approaches because their nesting habits, colony sizes, and aggression levels vary significantly. Professional identification ensures the right treatment method for complete elimination without unnecessary risk to your family.
Wasp activity in Michigan peaks from late June through early fall, with maximum aggression occurring in August and September when colonies reach full size. Queen wasps emerge from winter hibernation in late spring and quietly begin building nests.
By late summer, colonies contain thousands of workers and become increasingly aggressive as they compete for food sources. This coincides with outdoor activities when most stings occur. Fall brings desperate foraging behavior as colonies prepare for winter, making wasps more likely to invade outdoor gatherings.
Understanding seasonal patterns helps with prevention and timing of professional treatments. Early season nest removal prevents colonies from reaching dangerous sizes, while late season treatments require more aggressive approaches due to larger populations.
Yes, we guarantee complete elimination of treated wasp nests and provide free callbacks if wasps return to the same nesting sites. Real wasp control requires more than just killing visible insects – we eliminate entire colonies including queens and larvae.
Our guarantee covers the specific nests we treat, not new colonies that might establish elsewhere on your property. We use residual treatments that prevent recolonization of treated areas and remove physical nest structures that could attract new colonies.
If wasps return to treated locations within our guarantee period, we come back at no charge because the job isn’t complete until your property stays wasp-free. This commitment reflects our confidence in proper elimination methods and professional-grade treatments.
Wasp nest removal costs depend on factors like nest location, species involved, colony size, and accessibility. Ground-level nests under decks cost less than aerial nests requiring specialized equipment or nests inside wall voids requiring structural access.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges after assessing your specific situation. Most residential wasp removal falls within predictable ranges, and we explain exactly what’s included in your service before starting work.
We also offer price matching for comparable services from licensed competitors. You shouldn’t have to choose between professional safety and fair pricing. Our goal is complete elimination at rates that make sense for your budget and situation.
