We’ve been serving Montrose, MI since 2005, and we understand the unique challenges rural properties face with stinging insects. Our owner Roger brings 26 years of experience to every job, and unlike other companies, we don’t send part-time college students to handle dangerous wasp situations.
We’re the local experts who know that Montrose’s wooded areas and rural setting create ideal conditions for paper wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. We’ve seen how these pests build nests in barns, sheds, under eaves, and in wall cavities throughout Genesee County.
As a family-owned business celebrating our 20th anniversary, we’ve built our reputation on personalized service and keeping the same technician with our customers year after year. We offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders because we believe in taking care of those who’ve served our community.
Our wasp removal process starts with a thorough property inspection. We locate all nests, including hidden ones in wall cavities, under eaves, or in ground locations that homeowners often miss. This step is crucial because incomplete removal often leads to recurring problems.
Next, we apply targeted treatments designed specifically for the wasp species we’re dealing with. Yellow jackets require different approaches than paper wasps or hornets. We use professional-grade products that eliminate wasps on contact and continue working for days to catch any returning insects.
After the wasps are eliminated, we safely remove the nests and seal potential entry points. This prevents future colonies from establishing in the same locations. For complex situations involving nests inside walls or high locations, we have the specialized equipment and experience to handle removal without damaging your property.

Our wasp nest removal service includes everything needed to eliminate current problems and prevent future infestations. We provide emergency response for dangerous situations, especially when nests are discovered near high-traffic areas or when someone in your family has sting allergies.
In Montrose’s rural environment, we commonly encounter multiple nest types on single properties. Paper wasps build their umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and in protected areas. Yellow jackets often nest underground or in wall cavities, making them particularly dangerous because they’re easily disturbed. Hornets create large aerial nests that can house thousands of aggressive insects.
We understand that Michigan’s climate creates specific challenges. Queen wasps emerge in spring and build colonies that reach peak size by late summer, sometimes housing up to 5,000 insects. Our service timing accounts for these seasonal patterns, and we offer preventative treatments to stop new colonies from establishing on your property.
We offer emergency wasp nest removal service and can typically respond within 24 hours for dangerous situations in Montrose. If you discover a nest near your front door, children’s play area, or have someone with sting allergies in your household, we prioritize these calls.
For standard situations, we usually schedule service within 2-3 days. However, timing depends on the season and nest activity level. Late summer nests are more aggressive and require immediate attention, while early season nests can often wait a few days without increased danger.
We always recommend calling immediately when you discover a nest rather than waiting. Wasp colonies grow rapidly, and what starts as a small problem can become a major infestation requiring more complex removal procedures.
Wasp nest removal costs in Montrose typically range from $200-$600, depending on several factors. Simple nests that are easily accessible and close to the ground cost less to remove. Complex situations involving nests inside walls, high locations, or multiple nests increase the price.
The wasp species also affects cost. Yellow jacket nests often require more expensive removal procedures because they’re aggressive and frequently build in difficult locations. Paper wasp nests are usually more straightforward to remove. Hornets fall somewhere in between but may require specialized equipment for high aerial nests.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we offer price matching for reasonable competitor quotes. We also provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Most importantly, we guarantee our work, so if wasps return to the same nest location, we’ll come back at no additional charge.
DIY wasp nest removal is extremely dangerous and we strongly advise against it. Wasps become highly aggressive when their nest is threatened, and they can sting multiple times unlike bees. Yellow jackets are particularly dangerous because they can attack in large numbers and will pursue threats away from the nest.
Many homeowners underestimate nest size and wasp numbers. What appears to be a small nest might house hundreds or even thousands of insects. Disturbing the nest without proper equipment and protective gear often results in multiple stings and sometimes requires emergency medical attention.
Professional removal is especially critical if anyone in your household has sting allergies. Even people without known allergies can develop severe reactions when stung multiple times. We have the proper protective equipment, professional-grade treatments, and experience to eliminate nests safely without putting your family at risk.
The best time for wasp nest removal is early morning or late evening when wasps are less active and most are inside the nest. However, the season also matters significantly. Early summer removal is generally easier because colonies are smaller and less aggressive.
Late summer and early fall present more challenges because colonies reach peak size and wasps become more defensive as they prepare for winter. However, this is also when most people discover nests because wasp activity increases as they search for food sources.
We don’t recommend waiting once you’ve discovered a nest, regardless of the season. Even early season nests grow rapidly, and delaying removal only makes the job more complex and expensive. Weather conditions also affect removal timing – we avoid treating nests during storms or high winds for safety reasons.
Yes, we guarantee our wasp nest removal service. If wasps return to the same nest location within 90 days of treatment, we’ll return to re-treat the area at no additional charge. This guarantee covers the specific nest we treated, not new nests that might be built in different locations on your property.
Our guarantee reflects our confidence in our treatment methods and materials. We use professional-grade products that continue killing wasps for days after application, and we physically remove nests to prevent reestablishment. We also seal entry points where possible to discourage future nesting.
The guarantee doesn’t cover new colonies that establish in different locations, but we do offer seasonal protection programs for customers who want ongoing prevention. These programs include regular inspections and preventative treatments to stop new nests from forming anywhere on your property.
Montrose’s rural environment supports several wasp species that commonly cause problems for homeowners. Yellow jackets are the most aggressive and dangerous, often building underground nests or inside wall cavities. They’re attracted to food sources and become particularly troublesome during late summer barbecues and outdoor activities.
Paper wasps build the distinctive umbrella-shaped nests you see under eaves, in sheds, and other protected areas. While less aggressive than yellow jackets, they’ll defend their nests vigorously if disturbed. Bald-faced hornets create large aerial nests in trees and can be extremely aggressive when threatened.
Each species requires different removal approaches. Yellow jackets need ground treatments or wall void applications. Paper wasps require direct nest treatment and removal. Hornets often need specialized equipment for high nest locations. Our experience with all these species ensures we use the right treatment method for safe, effective removal.
