We offer same-day emergency hornet removal service throughout West Brighton and can typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call. The actual removal process usually takes 1-2 hours depending on nest size and location. We understand that hornets pose immediate danger, especially to families with children or individuals with allergies, so we prioritize rapid response.

Hornets are larger than wasps and yellow jackets, typically measuring 1-1.5 inches, and build large, enclosed paper nests often in trees or under eaves. Yellow jackets are smaller, more aggressive, and often nest in ground cavities or wall voids. All three can sting multiple times, but hornets deliver more venom per sting and are more defensive of their nests, making professional removal crucial for safety.

Yes, our hornet removal process is completely safe when performed by our licensed professionals. We use EPA-approved products applied with precision to target only the nest, and we establish safety perimeters to keep family members and pets away during treatment.
