Why Greenpoint Has a Hornets Problem
Greenpoint's leafy streets near McCarren Park and the converted warehouses along the waterfront provide ideal nesting spots for hornets, especially in eaves, attics, and building overhangs. The neighborhood's proximity to Newtown Creek and abundance of gardens around Franklin Street and Manhattan Avenue create attractive environments for these aggressive stinging insects during warmer months.
Why Choose Us for Hornet Removal in Greenpoint
Bald-faced hornets and European hornets are aggressive defenders of their nests and can sting multiple times — professional removal with proper protective equipment is essential. We treat the nest entrance and interior with a fast-acting knockdown product to neutralize the colony, wait for activity to cease, then physically remove the paper nest to prevent scavengers and future re-use of the structure. For hornets nesting inside wall voids or attic spaces, we use dust injection into the void to reach the nest without requiring opening the structure. Our 30-day guarantee means if hornet activity is observed in the treated area within a month, we return to assess and re-treat.

How quickly can you remove a hornet nest in Greenpoint?▾

We understand that hornets pose immediate danger, so we prioritize rapid response times for all Greenpoint residents, typically arriving within 2-4 hours of your call.
What's the difference between hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets?▾
Hornets are larger than wasps and yellow jackets, typically measuring 1-1.5 inches long with black and white or brown markings. They build large, enclosed paper nests often found in trees or building eaves. Hornets are more aggressive than most wasps and can sting multiple times. Yellow jackets are smaller, have bright yellow and black stripes, and often nest in ground cavities or wall voids.
Is hornet removal safe for my Greenpoint home and family?▾
Yes, our professional hornet removal is completely safe for your family and pets. We use EPA-approved products applied by licensed technicians who follow strict safety protocols. We establish safety perimeters during treatment, and most products break down quickly after application. We recommend keeping children and pets inside during the removal process and for 2-3 hours afterward as a precaution.
