The problem
A Nest by the Front Door Isn't Worth the Risk
Our long, hot season keeps wasps, hornets and yellow jackets active for much of the year, and heavy rain pushes them toward sheltered spots on your home. Once a nest settles near an entryway, porch or play set, someone's going to get stung.
We identify what you're dealing with first, then treat the nest the safest way and help keep new ones from taking its place.
Signs it's time to call
- A nest under the eaves, porch or railing
- Insects flying in and out of a gap in siding
- A hole in the ground with steady traffic
- Round holes drilled in fascia or decks
- Bees clustering on or inside a wall

Our process
How We Handle a Nest Safely
Full property inspection
We find active nests and likely nesting spots around the home.
Proper identification
Wasp, hornet, yellow jacket or bee, because each one needs a different approach.
Targeted nest treatment
A plan built around where the nest is and how close it is to people and pets.
Prevention
Recommendations and ongoing protection to stop them from coming back.
Nest removal is included as proactive service on Freedom Membership plans. One-time treatments are priced by the insect and nest location. Bigger project? Financing through Wisetack lets qualified customers pay over time.
What's the difference between wasps, hornets and yellow jackets?
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and porch ceilings. Hornets build large enclosed nests and defend them hard. Yellow jackets often nest underground or in wall voids and can swarm when disturbed.
Should I remove a nest myself?
We don't recommend it. Misidentifying the insect or disturbing a nest can set off an attack, and DIY sprays often miss the colony.
Do you remove honey bees?
Yes. We offer honey bee control when bees set up in or on your home.
What about carpenter bees?
Carpenter bees drill perfectly round holes in fascia, decks and eaves. We treat them along with other wood-damaging insects through our termite and wood-destroying insect services.
Are stinging insects covered in my plan?
Every Freedom Membership includes proactive web and nest removal during service, and on-demand visits between services.
Where do stinging insects usually nest?
Soffits and roof overhangs, fascia and trim, wall voids behind siding, decks, porches, railings and small gaps around exterior vents.
