Hornet Nest Removal you can count on

Bald-faced hornets build large grey paper nests in trees, shrubs and under eaves, and defend them aggressively. We remove hornet nests safely so your family can use the yard again.

Signs you need help

Our process

  1. Inspect

    We find where the pests are, how they got in and how big the problem is.

  2. Treat

    Targeted, safe treatment aimed at the source, not just what you can see.

  3. Prevent

    We seal entry points and show you how to keep them from coming back.

  4. Guarantee

    Every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Why hornets are different

Hornets defend their nest from further away than most wasps. Don't try to knock a nest down yourself.

If anyone in the home is allergic, keep them indoors and call us right away.

Cost

Most hornet nest removals are one visit, quoted upfront.
