Remove Wasp and Hornet Nests Quickly & Safely.

We find the nest, remove it safely, and make sure they don’t come back.

If you’re in Holden Sterling, or Shrewsbury and you’ve got wasps or hornets around your deck, soffits, or yard, don’t risk getting stung. Yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets can be aggressive, especially late summer when colonies are largest. We’ll locate the nest (even hidden ground nests and wall voids) and remove it safely.

Hornets love Worcester homes
How we approach wasps and hornets.

We see the same nesting spots again and again in Worcester County homes.

Soffits & Eaves

Protected overhangs are favorite spots for paper wasps and hornets. The shelter keeps rain off the nest, and they have clear flight paths to and from the entrance.

  • Up near the roof

Wall Voids

Gaps in siding, especially around vents and utility penetrations, let wasps build hidden nests inside your walls. You see wasps going in and out but can’t see the actual nest.

  • Seal Hiding spots

Ground Nests

Yellow jackets nest underground in old rodent burrows, landscape mulch, or dense ground cover. They’re often discovered when you’re mowing, weeding, or walking nearby.

  • Bee suit and removal

Allergic reactions can be life-threatening

If anyone in your household has a known bee or wasp allergy, don’t attempt DIY removal. Even people without known allergies can develop reactions, especially from multiple stings.

We come in a bees suit and deal with them for you.

Quick Gut Check

What are you noticing right now?

Multiple wasps in the same area means a nest is nearby. Watch where they fly. They’ll lead you straight to it, but don’t get too close

Note the flight pattern from a safe distance (10+ feet). If you see them going into a specific hole, vent, or under an overhang, that’s the nest location.

Don’t spray it yourself, especially if it’s large, in a wall void, or a ground nest. Disturbed wasps attack aggressively, and you could get stung multiple times.

Keep people and pets away from the area. Call us for same-day or next-day removal. We have protective equipment and the right products to handle it safely.

If you’re not allergic, ice the area and take an antihistamine (Benadryl). The pain and swelling should improve in a few hours.

If you have breathing difficulty, swelling beyond the sting site (throat, face), dizziness, or nausea, call 911 immediately. This could be an allergic reaction.

  • I couldn’t be happier with the termite service. He showed us his plan before doing anything and over delivered. He cut around the foundation and you wouldn’t even know it was done, he took the time to make sure it looked presentable after the service.

FAQ

Quick answers to the most popular questions.

Replace with your real policies, timelines, and warranty terms.

Q: How much does your wasp removal service cost?

We charge $175-$500 depending on where the nest is and how hard it is to reach.

Ground-level nests: $175-$250 (accessible, minimal ladder work)
High eaves or second story: $250-$400 (ladder work, harder to reach)
Wall voids or inside access needed: $300-$500 (requires finding the nest location first, then treating through the wall or from inside)
Multiple nests: +$100-150 per additional nest

Yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets sometimes cost more because they’re aggressive and require extra protective equipment.

We give you the exact price before we start. No surprises.

Q: How fast can you remove a wasp nest?

Same-day or next-day service for most situations in Worcester County.

If you call in the morning, we can usually get there the same afternoon. If you call late afternoon or evening, we schedule for the next morning.

Emergency situations (someone allergic, nest blocking a door you use daily) get priority. We’ll work with your schedule.

The actual removal takes 30-60 minutes depending on nest location.

Q: What happens during your wasp removal service?

Here’s the process step by step:

When we arrive:

  • We locate the nest and identify the species (yellow jacket, paper wasp, or hornet)
  • We suit up in full protective gear (you stay inside or at a safe distance)

Treatment:

  • We apply professional insecticide directly to the nest entrance
  • For wall voids, we may drill a small access hole to reach the nest
  • For ground nests, we treat all visible entrances

After treatment:

  • We monitor for 10-15 minutes to confirm the colony is eliminated
  • We remove the nest if it’s accessible (paper wasps, hornets)
  • We treat the area with residual product to kill stragglers returning to the site
  • We answer your questions and give you next-step recommendations

You can use the area again within a few hours once the treatment dries.

Q: Do you guarantee the wasps won’t come back?

Yes, with conditions. If wasps rebuild at the exact same spot this season, we re-treat at no charge.

Here’s what that means:

  • Same location = covered (the soffit we treated, the same ground hole)
  • New location = new service (different eave, different part of yard)

Wasps sometimes build new nests elsewhere on your property if you have other sheltered spots they like. Our optional preventative treatment (+$150) treats those other areas to reduce that risk.

The guarantee runs through the end of the current wasp season (typically through October).

Q: Can you remove nests in walls, underground, or high places?

Yes. Those are the most common calls we get.

Wall voids:
We locate the nest by watching wasp flight patterns, then treat through the exterior gap they’re using or drill a small access hole. We don’t need to open up your wall.

Ground nests:
We treat all entrances and monitor to make sure the whole colony is eliminated. Ground nests can have multiple exits, so we watch for activity at all of them.

High eaves and rooflines:
We have extension ladders and safety equipment. Most second-story nests are accessible.

Inside attics or crawlspaces:
If the nest is inside your home (not just in the walls), we can access it through your attic or crawlspace if you have safe entry.

The only nests we can’t reach are extremely high (third story+) or structurally unsafe locations. We’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case.

Q: What should I do while waiting for you to arrive?

Keep everyone away from the nest area and watch where the wasps are flying.

Do:

  • Mark the area so kids and pets stay clear
  • Note the flight pattern (where they’re going in and out)
  • Take a photo from a safe distance (helps us prepare)
  • Keep windows and doors closed if the nest is near your home

Don’t:

  • Spray the nest yourself (you’ll just make them angry)
  • Block the entrance (trapped wasps may chew into your home)
  • Mow or do yard work near the nest
  • Let kids play nearby

If someone gets stung and has an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling beyond the sting site, dizziness), call 911 first, then call us.

Q: Is your wasp treatment safe for pets and kids?

Yes, once it dries. We use EPA-registered products labeled for outdoor residential use.

During treatment:
Keep everyone inside or at least 50 feet away. We’re in full protective gear, but you’re not.

After treatment:
Wait 2-3 hours for the product to dry. Once dry, the treated area is safe for normal use.

Residual treatment:
The product we apply stays active for 2-4 weeks to kill any wasps that return to the site. It breaks down in sunlight and rain. Pets and kids can walk through treated areas normally once dry.

If your pet or child has a history of pesticide sensitivity, let us know. We can adjust the treatment location or provide extra drying time before you use the area.
