Hear from Our Customers
You walk outside without scanning for wasps first. Your kids play in the yard without you holding your breath. Outdoor barbecues happen without uninvited stinging guests crashing the party.
We eliminate the entire colony—not just the visible nest. That means removing larvae that would create next year’s problem and sealing the entry points wasps use to rebuild.
No more lying awake wondering if that nest is getting bigger overnight. No more dangerous trips to the hardware store for wasp spray that barely works and puts you at serious risk.
Roger started First Choice Pest Control in 2005, right here in Shiawassee County. Twenty-six years of Michigan wasp experience means he knows exactly how yellow jackets behave in our humid summers and where hornets love to build around Morrice homes.
You get the same technician every time—not rotating college students who treat your wasp problem like a summer job. Roger builds relationships with families and learns your property’s unique challenges.
We earn Angie’s List recognition and Home Advisor awards by doing what bigger companies won’t: showing up the same day and treating every Morrice family like neighbors, not account numbers.
We start with a thorough property inspection because wasps hide nests in places you’d never think to look. Under deck railings, inside wall voids, buried in your landscaping—they’re clever about staying out of sight until the colony gets massive.
Next comes targeted elimination using calibrated equipment that reaches every corner of the nest. No guesswork, no hoping the spray penetrated deep enough. We use power dusters and specialized treatments that eliminate wasps at the source while keeping your family safe.
The final step separates us from spray-and-pray competitors: complete nest removal and entry point sealing. We physically remove the structure and larvae, then seal cracks and gaps that would invite next year’s queens to rebuild in the same spots.

Morrice summers bring aggressive wasp activity that peaks in late August and September. That’s when colonies house thousands of yellow jackets and hornets that become increasingly territorial and dangerous.
We respond the same day because wasp emergencies don’t wait for convenient scheduling. When you discover a massive nest near your front door or aggressive yellow jackets swarming your kids’ play area, next Tuesday isn’t soon enough.
Our Morrice wasp control service covers paper wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, and mud daubers throughout Shiawassee County. We handle underground nests, wall colonies, and high aerial nests that require specialized equipment and Michigan-specific expertise.
Wasp nest removal in Morrice ranges from $100 for small, accessible paper wasp nests to $700 for large yellow jacket colonies in difficult locations. Most homeowners pay between $300-500 for complete nest elimination.
Underground yellow jacket nests and wall colonies cost more because they require specialized equipment and more extensive sealing work. Hornets building large aerial nests also fall into the higher price range due to safety equipment needs.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work and match reasonable competitor quotes. Emergency same-day service doesn’t carry surcharges because we believe Morrice families shouldn’t pay extra for urgent safety situations.
DIY wasp removal sends dozens of people to Michigan emergency rooms every summer. Wasps can sting repeatedly, and disturbing their nest triggers aggressive swarming behavior that can overwhelm even healthy adults.
Yellow jackets are particularly dangerous because they’ll chase you significant distances and can sting through regular clothing. Many Morrice homeowners end up with 20+ stings trying to knock down nests with hardware store sprays.
Professional removal uses full protective suits, specialized application equipment, and proper timing to eliminate colonies safely. We handle the life-threatening risk so you can focus on enjoying your property without fear.
Call immediately when you discover any wasp nest near high-traffic areas of your Morrice property. Don’t wait for the “right time” or hope cold weather will solve the problem naturally.
Early morning and evening removals are safer because wasps are less active, but emergency situations require immediate action regardless of timing. Aggressive yellow jackets near doorways or children’s play areas can’t wait for optimal conditions.
Michigan wasps remain active well into October, and queens survive winter to establish new colonies next spring. Waiting until next year means dealing with multiple nests instead of preventing the problem now.
We eliminate all wasp species common to Morrice and Shiawassee County: paper wasps, yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, and mud daubers. Each species requires different removal approaches based on nesting habits and aggression levels.
Paper wasps build open umbrella-shaped nests and are relatively docile. Yellow jackets nest underground or in wall voids and become extremely aggressive when disturbed. Hornets create large gray paper nests and deliver particularly painful stings.
Twenty-six years of Michigan experience means we identify species correctly on sight and use appropriate elimination methods. We don’t rely on one-size-fits-all approaches that might miss larvae or fail to prevent future colonies.
Proper wasp nest removal prevents colonies from re-establishing in the same location. We remove the entire nest structure, eliminate all larvae, and seal entry points that queens use to access nesting sites.
You’ll see individual wasps returning to the nest site for 24-48 hours after removal—this is completely normal. These are foraging wasps returning to a colony that no longer exists. They’ll abandon the area once they realize the nest is gone.
Without professional sealing, new queens will rebuild in the same spots next spring because they’re attracted to pheromone traces and ideal nesting conditions. Our preventive sealing forces future colonies to establish elsewhere, away from your family.
Yes, we respond the same day throughout Morrice and Shiawassee County for urgent wasp situations. Discovering aggressive yellow jackets near your front door or hornets swarming your outdoor living space requires immediate professional intervention.
While competitors schedule wasp removal a week out, we understand that dangerous nests threaten your family’s safety right now. Kids can’t play outside, guests can’t visit, and you’re essentially trapped inside your own home.
Same-day emergency service includes complete nest elimination, larvae removal, and preventive sealing—the same comprehensive process we use for scheduled appointments. Your family’s safety takes priority over convenient scheduling.
