Wasp Nest Removal Process

How We Eliminate Wasp Nests Completely

First, we identify the exact wasp species and locate every nest on your property. Different wasps require different approaches, and missing even one small satellite nest means they’ll be back next week.

Next, we use professional-grade treatments that eliminate the entire colony – not just the wasps you can see. This includes the larvae inside the nest that would become next month’s problem. We treat the nest structure itself and the surrounding area where wasps land and take off.

Finally, we remove the physical nest and clean up the area completely. We also treat for the pheromone markers that tell other wasps “this is a good spot to build.” Without this step, you’ll likely see new nests in the same location next season.

Emergency Wasp Removal Service

What's Included in Every Service Call

Every wasp removal includes complete nest elimination, not just a quick spray-and-go. You get thorough treatment of the nest site, removal of the physical structure, and cleanup of any debris or dead wasps.

We handle the dangerous locations you can’t reach safely – inside wall voids, under high eaves, or in dense vegetation. Our equipment lets us treat nests without putting you or your family at risk from defensive wasps.

You also get prevention advice specific to your property. We’ll point out the conditions that attracted wasps in the first place and give you practical steps to make your home less appealing to them next season. Most wasp problems are preventable once you know what to look for.

How quickly can you remove a wasp nest from my Herwood property?

We offer same-day service for most wasp removal calls in Herwood, especially during peak season from July through September. Emergency situations – like nests near entryways or areas where children play – get priority scheduling. The actual removal process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on nest size and location. We can usually have your wasp problem resolved within hours of your call, not days or weeks like some larger companies that treat wasp removal as a low-priority service.
DIY wasp nest removal puts you at serious risk of multiple stings, especially if you’re dealing with yellow jackets or bald-faced hornets that become extremely aggressive when their nest is threatened. Most hardware store sprays require you to get within 10-15 feet of the nest, which is well within their attack range. Professional removal uses specialized equipment that can treat nests from a safe distance and protective gear that prevents stings. We also know how to identify and treat satellite nests that most homeowners miss, preventing the wasps from simply relocating nearby.
Herwood sees three main wasp species that cause problems for homeowners. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and deck railings – they’re less aggressive but still defend their territory. Yellow jackets nest in wall voids, ground cavities, and dense shrubs – these are the most aggressive and dangerous to remove. Bald-faced hornets create large, enclosed nests in trees and tall shrubs – their nests can house hundreds of wasps by late summer. Each species requires different removal techniques and safety precautions, which is why proper identification is crucial before treatment.
When we remove a wasp nest properly, those specific wasps won’t return because the entire colony is eliminated. However, wasps can build new nests in the same area if the conditions that attracted them initially are still present. That’s why we treat the nest site with residual products that prevent re-establishment and provide prevention recommendations specific to your property. Most wasp problems recur because the original nest wasn’t completely eliminated or because the pheromone trails that mark good nesting sites weren’t properly treated. Our process addresses both issues.
Wasp removal costs depend on factors like nest size, location difficulty, and species type. Most single nest removals range from moderate to higher pricing, but this includes complete elimination, cleanup, and prevention treatment – not just a quick spray. Emergency calls or nests in extremely difficult locations may cost more due to additional equipment and safety requirements. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. When you consider the cost of multiple DIY attempts, potential medical bills from stings, and the time spent dealing with the problem, professional removal usually saves money.
Early season removal (late spring to early summer) is ideal because nests are smaller and colonies haven’t reached full size. However, we remove wasp nests year-round as needed for safety reasons. Late summer nests are larger and more aggressive, but waiting until fall or winter means you’ll likely face the same problem next year since new queens will have already left to establish future colonies. If you discover a nest, it’s better to have it removed immediately rather than hoping it will go away on its own. Wasp colonies only grow larger and more defensive as the season progresses.
