Wasp & Hornet Removal

Yes. Nests within wall voids, soffits, eaves, and structural cavities require a different approach than exposed nests — species identification, colony size assessment, and access strategy all factor into the removal plan. Our specialists determine the safest and most effective removal method before any work begins. Structural entry points used by the colony are sealed following removal to prevent new colonies from establishing in the same location.

Species identification matters because each has different nesting behavior, colony size, aggression level, and optimal removal timing. Paper wasps build open-comb nests under horizontal surfaces. Bald-faced hornets create large enclosed gray nests in trees or on building exteriors. Yellow jackets nest underground or inside wall cavities and are the most aggressive when disturbed. Our specialists identify the species on-site before recommending any course of action.

Early season removal — before colonies reach peak size in July and August — is significantly simpler and lower risk than late-season removal. We address active nests throughout the season, but early identification and intervention is always preferable. A property vulnerability assessment in late spring can identify nesting sites before colonies establish, allowing for preventative exclusion work at structural entry points.
