You’ll actually want to use your backyard again. No more cancelled barbecues because yellow jackets decided your deck was their territory. No more watching kids through the window instead of letting them play outside.
Your outdoor spaces become yours again. Morning coffee on the patio without scanning for movement. Evening dinners without the constant buzz and worry. Garden work without protective gear and constant vigilance.
The relief hits immediately after treatment, but the real benefit shows up over time. Fewer emergency room visits. Fewer ruined gatherings. More time enjoying what you’ve worked to create instead of defending it from aggressive stinging insects.
We’ve protected Frankenmuth families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every yellow jacket problem, understanding exactly how these aggressive insects behave in our Michigan climate.
We’re not the company that sends whoever’s available. Your technician stays with you year after year, learning your property’s unique challenges. No explaining the same problem to different people every season.
Frankenmuth’s outdoor culture means yellow jacket problems hit harder here. Between Oktoberfest gatherings and backyard chicken dinners, aggressive stinging insects can ruin what makes this community special. We’ve seen it all and know how to handle Michigan’s peak yellow jacket season without disrupting your summer plans.
We start by locating every nest on your property. Yellow jackets hide in wall voids, underground burrows, eaves, and other spots most people miss. Our technician inspects your entire property, not just the obvious problem areas.
Treatment happens when it’s most effective and safest for your family. We use professional-grade products and protective equipment that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. No half-measures that leave survivors to rebuild.
Nest removal follows once the colony is eliminated. We handle the cleanup and disposal, then identify potential future nesting sites. You get specific recommendations for preventing new colonies from establishing on your property next season.
Follow-up ensures complete elimination. If activity continues, we return at no additional cost. Most yellow jacket problems resolve completely after our initial treatment, but we guarantee results until your property is clear.

Our yellow jacket extermination covers ground nests, wall void colonies, and aerial nests up to 25 feet high. We handle the dangerous species common in Frankenmuth: German yellow jackets that build inside structures and Eastern yellow jackets that create underground colonies in lawns and garden areas.
August and September bring peak aggression in Michigan yellow jackets. Colonies reach maximum size and become extremely defensive. This timing coincides with Frankenmuth’s outdoor festival season, creating perfect conditions for dangerous encounters. Our treatments are specifically timed for Michigan’s yellow jacket lifecycle.
Treatment includes identification of contributing factors. Open garbage, fallen fruit, and outdoor food sources attract yellow jackets to residential properties. We provide specific recommendations for reducing future attraction while handling current infestations completely. Your service includes both immediate elimination and long-term prevention strategies.
Most yellow jacket colonies are eliminated within 24-48 hours of treatment. We prioritize emergency calls during Michigan’s peak season (August-September) because delayed treatment often leads to larger colonies and increased aggression.
Same-day service is available for dangerous situations like nests inside homes or near high-traffic areas. Our technician carries professional-grade equipment and protective gear, allowing immediate treatment of even large, aggressive colonies. You don’t need to wait days while the problem gets worse.
Follow-up visits confirm complete elimination, but most customers see immediate results. Dead yellow jackets around the nest site within hours, followed by complete cessation of activity within 48 hours. We guarantee results and return if any activity continues.
Our treatments target yellow jackets specifically while protecting your family and pets. We use professional products that break down quickly in the environment but remain lethal to yellow jackets long enough to eliminate entire colonies including queens.
Treatment timing minimizes exposure risk. Most applications happen when children and pets are indoors, with specific instructions for safe re-entry. Our technician explains exactly when treated areas are safe for normal use, typically within hours of application.
Twenty years of experience means we know which products work effectively without creating unnecessary risks. We don’t use broad-spectrum treatments that harm beneficial insects or create lingering residues. Your family’s safety guides every treatment decision we make.
August and September represent peak danger season for Michigan yellow jackets. Colonies reach maximum size with thousands of individuals, and food sources become scarce. This combination creates extremely aggressive behavior as workers compete for diminishing resources.
Yellow jackets shift from hunting insects to scavenging human food during late summer. Outdoor gatherings, garbage cans, and fallen fruit attract them to residential areas. Once they establish feeding patterns around homes, encounters become inevitable and increasingly dangerous.
Colony protection instincts intensify as new queens prepare for winter. Workers become hypervigilant about perceived threats to their nest. Simple yard work, outdoor dining, or children playing can trigger mass attacks from colonies that seemed manageable earlier in the season. Professional removal becomes essential once this behavioral shift occurs.
Wall void nests require specialized treatment techniques that most companies can’t handle safely. We use professional equipment to treat colonies inside structures without damaging your home or forcing yellow jackets into living spaces.
Never seal wall openings before eliminating the colony completely. This forces yellow jackets to chew through drywall and enter your home, creating dangerous indoor encounters. Our process eliminates the entire colony first, then addresses entry points and structural repairs.
Treatment includes identification of how yellow jackets accessed wall voids and prevention of future infestations. Small gaps around pipes, loose siding, or damaged soffits provide entry points. We handle both current elimination and long-term prevention to protect your property investment.
Yellow jacket removal costs vary based on nest location, colony size, and accessibility. Ground nests typically cost less than wall void colonies or high aerial nests requiring specialized equipment. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Our price matching policy ensures competitive rates against reasonable competitor quotes. Twenty years of local experience means efficient treatments that solve problems completely the first time. This often costs less than multiple treatments from companies that don’t understand yellow jacket behavior.
Emergency service during peak season may include additional charges for same-day response. However, immediate treatment often prevents property damage and reduces overall costs. Delayed treatment allows colonies to grow larger and become more expensive to eliminate safely.
We guarantee complete yellow jacket elimination or return at no additional cost. Most colonies are eliminated completely with initial treatment, but occasionally survivors require follow-up applications. Our guarantee covers both scenarios.
Twenty-six years of experience with Michigan yellow jackets means we understand their behavior patterns and lifecycle timing. This knowledge allows targeted treatments that eliminate entire colonies including queens. Without the queen, surviving workers cannot rebuild the colony.
Guarantee coverage includes identification and treatment of secondary nests on the same property. Yellow jackets sometimes establish multiple colonies, especially on larger properties with abundant food sources. Our service includes complete property inspection and treatment of all active nests discovered during our visit.
