Hornet Nest Removal & Exterminators
The hornet is not an insect to be taken lightly. Hornet nests can grow to the size of a basketball and hold well over 100 extremely aggressive workers resulting in dangerous conditions when it comes to hornet nest removal. If left uncontrolled, hornets may cause a visible degree of property damage. These summer bugs are known to strip off tree bark to create their nests and access sap. Over time, this harms any vegetation in your yard.

Do You Need Hornets Removal Services?
Hornets have a key role in the ecosystem, helping control other insect populations, but they're a hazard once they start building nests around your property. Something as minor as residue in your trashcan can attract hornets, who go after sweet, sugary foods. Outdoor features like fencing and shrubs also look like good spots for a nest – and a dependable source of materials. Starting in spring, hornets begin constructing their paper nests on branches and under eaves, scavenging your property for scraps. Outdoor nests may have an "envelope" covering the front; if the nest is sheltered by an eave – the "envelope" will be absent or smaller in size.
They don't disappear once winter arrives, rather waiting underneath tree bark, in a rotten log, in small crevices or underneath your siding.
We always recommend an expert opinion when it comes to hornet removal. Hornets are extremely aggressive and will attack if you get too close to their territory, which puts people with allergies in serious danger. To remove this hazard from your property, we provide professional hornet pest control services which include:
- Educating you about hornet habits and why hornet nest removal is a must. The materials may later turn into a haven for other pests, leading to another infestation down the road.
- Removing the hornets after finding all nests on your property.
- Providing information for preventing future hornet infestations, including where to place and how to trim bushes and trees.
Eliminate 'Em is a family owned and operated business with hornet removal specialists who are experienced in handling all hornet problems.
