Yellow Jacket Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we locate every nest on your property. Our technician inspects ground holes, wall voids, eaves, and other common nesting areas yellow jackets prefer around Nicholson homes.

Next, we apply targeted treatments directly to active nests. We use professional-grade products that eliminate the entire colony, not just the workers you see flying around.

Finally, we treat potential nesting sites to prevent future infestations. Your technician explains what we found, what we treated, and gives you practical advice to keep yellow jackets away long-term.

Michigan’s peak yellow jacket season runs August through September when colonies reach maximum size. During this critical period, we provide same-day emergency response because we know how aggressive these pests become.

When are yellow jackets most dangerous in Nicholson, Michigan?

Yellow jackets are most aggressive from late August through September in Michigan. During this peak season, colonies reach their maximum size—sometimes up to 5,000 workers in a single nest. They become increasingly hostile as they protect their mature colonies and compete for dwindling food sources. This is when most stings occur because yellow jackets actively seek out sugary foods and become territorial around human activity. If you spot yellow jacket activity during this period, don’t wait. The longer you delay treatment, the larger and more aggressive the colony becomes.

How quickly can you respond to yellow jacket emergencies?

We provide same-day or next-day service for yellow jacket emergencies in Nicholson. When yellow jackets are actively threatening your family’s safety, we prioritize these calls. Our technicians are equipped to handle emergency situations safely, even when nests are located in challenging areas like wall voids or high eaves. We come prepared with the right equipment and protective gear. Once you call, we’ll give you immediate safety advice and schedule the earliest possible appointment. Most emergency calls are resolved within 24 hours.

What's the difference between yellow jackets and regular wasps?

Yellow jackets are actually a type of wasp, but they’re much more aggressive than paper wasps. Unlike bees, yellow jackets can sting repeatedly because their stingers aren’t barbed. Their stings are more painful and cause longer-lasting swelling than bee stings. Yellow jackets also nest differently—they prefer enclosed spaces like ground holes, wall voids, and structural gaps rather than exposed paper nests. Most importantly, yellow jackets are scavengers that actively seek human food, especially during late summer. This brings them into direct conflict with families trying to enjoy outdoor activities.

Do you guarantee your yellow jacket treatments?

Yes, we provide a 90-day guarantee on all yellow jacket nest treatments. If you see continued activity from the same nest location, we return at no additional charge. Our treatments are designed to eliminate entire colonies, not just visible workers. We use professional-grade products that reach deep into nests and eliminate queens, workers, and developing larvae. The guarantee covers the specific nests we treat during your service. If new nests appear in different locations, that would be considered a separate infestation requiring additional treatment.

Can yellow jackets damage my Nicholson home?

Yellow jackets can cause structural concerns when they nest inside wall voids or attic spaces. German yellow jackets, common in Michigan, often chew through drywall to expand their nests or find new entry points. When colonies grow large, the weight and moisture from nests can damage insulation and create staining on interior walls. Some homeowners discover yellow jackets have chewed through multiple wall cavities. The bigger risk is when they chew through interior walls and enter living spaces. This creates dangerous situations, especially for family members with allergies to stings.

What should I do if I find a yellow jacket nest?

Don’t attempt to treat yellow jacket nests yourself. These insects are extremely defensive of their colonies and will attack in large numbers if threatened. Stay away from the nest area and keep children and pets indoors until professional treatment is completed. Yellow jackets can sting repeatedly and their venom is more potent than bee stings. Call us immediately for safe, professional removal. Our technicians have the proper equipment and experience to eliminate nests without putting your family at risk.
