There are a couple types of hornet nest or hive removal services: outside & inside. Outside is any hive as shown below which is visible and simply hanging from a structure or tree. Inside means the hive is not visible it is inside a structure: wall, soffit box, attic or in the ground.
Outside Hornet and Wasp Nest Removal
Call us and we will ask you some specifics about the hornet hive such as size, height, location and provide you with a ballpark price range over the phone, sight unseen! Normally providing same day or next day service. You have two options with this service, either a pesticide treatment or complete physical removal.
The pesticide treatment uses a product that is resistant to weather applied in a manner as to eliminate the pest but also limit the exposure to any person or other animal. We care about the health of you and your family and take every precaution.
The complete removal service involves the removal of the hive, the Queen (Foundress), and as many of the stinging insects as possible. We take it all with us so there is no chance of the Queen vacating and redeveloping the hive elsewhere.
Inside “Hive Cut-Out”
This is more complicated. It is our Bee/Hornet Removal Teams job to find the least costly and time-consuming means to remove the hive. If we are talking about hives within a structure such as a wall or ceiling, oftentimes it is better to access the hive from the inside of the home or building. Drywall is a lot less expensive for you to repair after we are gone than siding or veneer.
Our job is to get the hive OUT. We patch up the hole we have created and leave it to you to find someone to do the repairs. We are NOT responsible for any damage to landscaping, construction material or decorating during the act of removing the hive. Again, I say we are as tender as possible when removing a hive but we do what it necessary in order to gain access to the hive and remove it.
WARNING: Please do NOT have or allow anyone to spray the entrance of a hive that is inside a wall or ceiling. This seldom gets to the Queen so the hive lives on. But what it does do it forces the hive deeper in the wall and the Queen starts producing pupa even faster thinking her hive is in jeopardy. Also yellowjackets can chew through drywall so if you spray them… they may breach the wall and now be inside your home or building.
Either way our FIRST preference is to remove the hive, when possible. Rather than spraying it and running like most companies do. We like taking the Queen, Hive, Pupae with us so we know the colony cannot live on. But sometimes it is either construction material or cost prohibitive, so when we do a pesticide application it typically is a deep hive penetrative treatment. We are in protective clothing so we can take our time to make sure we can get the pesticides deep into the hive to get to the Queen’s chamber.
