The result? You can enjoy your outdoor spaces again without constantly looking over your shoulder for buzzing threats.
We’ve protected Owosso families from dangerous wasp infestations for over 20 years. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary serving this community.
Unlike companies that send different technicians each time, you get the same experienced professional who knows your property. We don’t use part-time college students – just trained experts with integrated pest management certifications.
Our Angie’s List and Home Advisor awards reflect what Owosso residents already know: we deliver results that last, backed by price matching and special discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
First, we conduct a thorough property inspection to locate all nests, including hidden ground nests and wall voids that homeowners typically miss. We identify the specific wasp species because yellow jackets, paper wasps, and hornets require different treatment approaches.
Next, we apply targeted treatments during optimal times when wasps are less active. For ground nests, we use specialized dust treatments. Aerial nests get foam or aerosol applications that eliminate the colony quickly.
Finally, we remove the empty nest structure and treat surrounding areas to prevent re-establishment. We seal entry points and provide prevention recommendations so you won’t deal with the same problem next year.

Michigan hosts over a dozen native yellowjacket species, plus aggressive paper wasps and bald-faced hornets. In Owosso’s climate, queen wasps start building nests in spring, and colonies can reach 5,000 members by fall – that’s when they become most dangerous.
Ground-nesting yellow jackets are particularly problematic here because they’re often discovered painfully while residents are mowing lawns or doing yard work. Our service covers all major Michigan wasp species, with specialized equipment and techniques for each type.
Every wasp removal includes complete nest elimination, not just a quick spray treatment. We handle the dangerous work of accessing nests in eaves, attics, wall voids, and underground burrows that are common in Owosso’s residential properties.
Early morning or late evening are optimal times for wasp removal when workers are less active and most are in the nest. Spring removal is ideal when colonies are small, but we safely handle nests year-round.
In Michigan, wasp activity peaks in late summer and early fall when colonies reach maximum size. This is when they become most aggressive and dangerous, but also when most people discover nests. Never attempt removal during peak daytime hours when wasps are most active.
Professional timing and safety equipment are essential – wasps can swarm and attack in large numbers when their nest is threatened.
DIY wasp nest removal is extremely dangerous and often ineffective. Wasps can sting multiple times and attack in swarms when their nest is threatened. Many Owosso residents end up in emergency rooms from attempting DIY removal.
Store-bought sprays rarely reach the entire colony, especially for ground nests or those in wall voids. Most homeowners can’t properly identify nest locations or wasp species, leading to incomplete treatment.
Underground nests are particularly tricky because the entrance hole may be small while the actual colony extends deep into the ground with thousands of wasps. We have specialized equipment, protective gear, and training to handle aggressive species safely.
Professional wasp nest removal typically costs between $300-$700 depending on the nest size, location, and wasp species. Several factors come into play when assessing the total cost, including nest accessibility, height above ground, and whether it’s positioned within walls or under floorboards.
Simple nests that are close to the ground and not too big don’t cost much to remove. Some of the more involved cases, like nests within walls or high above the ground, can add expense to the removal process.
We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates and provide special discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders in the Owosso area.
German yellow jackets and Eastern yellow jackets are particularly aggressive in our area, especially during late summer when they’re preparing for winter. Paper wasps under deck railings and bald-faced hornets in trees are also common and require specialized equipment and techniques.
Michigan’s peak wasp season runs from July through early fall, and we understand the seasonal patterns that affect when and where these pests are most active in Shiawassee County. Each species has different nesting habits and behaviors, which influences how they should be managed or removed.
Yellow jackets often nest underground or in wall voids, while paper wasps build exposed nests under eaves and overhangs. Hornets typically create large aerial nests in trees or high structures.
Prevention starts with eliminating food sources like uncovered garbage, pet food, and sugary drinks that attract foraging wasps. We seal entry points around your property and apply deterrent treatments to discourage nest-building in prime locations.
After removal, we treat surrounding areas with residual insecticides that continue working for months. This not only controls any remaining wasps but also prevents these stinging insects from constructing nests in the future.
We also provide recommendations for ongoing prevention, such as removing old nest structures before spring and trimming overgrown shrubs near your home that can provide nesting sites. Regular property inspections during early spring can catch new colonies when they’re small and easier to eliminate.
If you discover a wasp nest, avoid disturbing it entirely and keep your distance. Even if the nest appears empty, there could still be lingering stinging insects inside. Never attempt to knock it down or spray it yourself – this often leads to painful stings and incomplete removal.
Contact us immediately for professional assessment and removal. We can safely eliminate nests in any location, whether they’re high in trees, underground, or hidden in wall voids. Our team has the proper protective equipment and experience to handle aggressive species without putting you at risk.
While waiting for our arrival, warn family members and visitors to avoid the area. Keep pets indoors if possible, and don’t attempt any yard work near the nest location.
