You can mow your lawn without fear. Your kids play outside without you scanning for wasps every few minutes. Weekend barbecues happen without aggressive yellow jackets crashing the party.
That’s what happens when professionals handle your wasp problem correctly. No more tiptoeing around your own property or avoiding certain areas of your yard because there might be a nest nearby.
The wasps are gone, the nests are removed, and residual treatments keep new colonies from moving in. You get your outdoor space back, and your family gets peace of mind that lasts through the entire season.
Roger has been eliminating Michigan’s most aggressive stinging insects for 26 years. That’s more experience dealing with yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, and paper wasps than most companies have been in business.
We’ve served Millington and surrounding communities since 2005. We’re the family-owned company that assigns the same certified technician to your property every visit – no rotating college students who don’t know your situation.
Millington’s rural setting creates perfect conditions for ground-nesting yellow jackets and tree-dwelling hornets. We understand exactly which species you’re dealing with and how they behave in this area, which makes all the difference in getting rid of them permanently.
First, we locate every nest on your property. This includes the obvious ones you can see and the hidden ones in wall voids, underground burrows, or high in trees that you might have missed.
Next, we treat each nest with specialized insecticides that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. We use residual treatments that continue killing emerging wasps for months, preventing survivors from rebuilding.
After the wasps are eliminated, we safely remove the physical nest structure. For ground nests, we treat the soil to discourage future nesting. For aerial nests, we ensure complete removal so other insects don’t move into abandoned structures.
Finally, we apply preventative treatments around your property’s vulnerable areas – eaves, overhangs, and other spots where new colonies typically establish. This creates a protective barrier that keeps wasps away long-term.

Your wasp nest removal service includes identification and elimination of all wasp species common to Millington – yellow jackets, paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, and mud daubers. We handle both ground nests and aerial nests up to 25 feet high.
Every treatment comes with a one-year warranty. If wasps return to the same area, so do we at no additional charge. You also get the same certified technician for every visit, someone who knows your property and what works best for your specific situation.
Millington’s agricultural surroundings and wooded areas create ideal conditions for multiple wasp species. Yellow jackets often nest in abandoned rodent burrows in fields, while paper wasps prefer building under eaves and overhangs. Bald-faced hornets construct large nests in trees, sometimes reaching basketball size by late summer. We’re equipped to handle all of these situations safely and effectively.
We provide same-day service for urgent wasp situations in Millington. Most nest removals are completed within 24 hours of your call.
For immediate threats – like nests near doorways or play areas – we prioritize emergency response. Ground nests discovered while mowing and aerial nests near high-traffic areas get immediate attention because delayed treatment increases sting risk.
The actual removal process typically takes 30-60 minutes per nest, depending on location and colony size. However, we allow time for thorough property inspection to locate additional nests you might not have noticed.
Millington properties typically deal with three main species: eastern yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets. Each requires different removal approaches.
Eastern yellow jackets build underground colonies in abandoned rodent burrows or natural soil depressions. These are the wasps that swarm when you’re mowing and accidentally step near their entrance. Colonies can house over 5,000 individuals by late summer.
Paper wasps construct umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, overhangs, and protected structures. They’re less aggressive than yellow jackets but will defend their nests vigorously if disturbed. Bald-faced hornets create large, enclosed nests in trees and shrubs, often reaching basketball size.
DIY wasp nest removal is dangerous, especially in Millington where multiple aggressive species are common. Yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets respond to threats with coordinated swarm attacks.
Store-bought sprays rarely reach the nest’s core, often just agitating the colony without eliminating it. This makes subsequent removal attempts even more dangerous. Ground nests are particularly risky because you can’t see the full extent of the colony.
Professional removal uses specialized equipment and protective gear that homeowners don’t have access to. We also understand wasp behavior patterns – the best times to approach nests, how different species react to disturbance, and which treatments eliminate entire colonies rather than just visible workers.
Prevention involves both immediate treatment and long-term property modifications. We apply residual insecticides that continue killing wasps for six months or more in protected areas.
We seal potential nesting sites around your property – cracks in foundations, gaps under eaves, and openings in siding where wasps typically establish new colonies. For ground-nesting species, we treat soil in areas where rodent burrows provide ready-made nest sites.
Property maintenance also helps significantly. Keeping garbage cans sealed, removing fallen fruit, and trimming overgrown vegetation reduces food sources that attract wasps. We provide specific recommendations based on your property’s layout and the species most common in your area.
Wasp sting allergies make professional removal absolutely critical. We prioritize calls from households with allergic family members and provide same-day emergency service when needed.
Our technicians carry EpiPens and are trained in emergency response procedures. We also coordinate with local emergency services when treating properties where severe allergic reactions are a concern.
During treatment, we establish safe zones where allergic individuals can remain while work is completed. All family members and pets stay indoors until we’ve confirmed the area is secure. We also provide detailed post-treatment instructions about what to expect as remaining wasps die off.
Wasp nest removal costs vary based on nest location, species, and colony size. Ground nests typically cost less than aerial nests requiring specialized equipment for high removals.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Multiple nests on the same property often qualify for package pricing. We also offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
Every service includes a one-year warranty, so you’re not paying again if wasps return to treated areas. This warranty coverage often makes professional removal more cost-effective than repeated DIY attempts that don’t eliminate the entire colony.
