Wasp & Hornet Control

Wasp & hornet nest removal, done safely

A nest by the door is a sting waiting to happen. We knock it out fast, safely, and keep them from rebuilding in the same spot.

What you are dealing with

Not every stinging insect is the same

Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets each nest differently, and a store-bought can on a big nest is a good way to get stung. The safe fix is treating the whole nest at once, at the right time of day, in the right protective gear.

  • A nest under the eaves, soffit, deck, or porch roof
  • Steady traffic of wasps in and out of one spot
  • Yellow jackets coming out of a hole in the ground or a wall
  • Paper-like nests in trees, sheds, or on the playset
  • Stings or heavy activity where kids and pets play

How we treat it

How we take a nest down safely

A nest is not a spray-and-run job. We treat it the way that clears it without putting you, your family, or us at risk.

1

We find and identify the nest

Wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket, and where it is, decides how we treat it. We locate every active nest, not just the obvious one.

2

We treat at the safest time

We work when the colony is calm, in protective gear, so the nest is treated all at once instead of scattering angry wasps.

3

We remove or knock down the nest

Once it is clear, we take the nest down so it does not draw the next colony back to the same spot.

4

We protect the entry points

We treat the eaves, soffits, and gaps where they like to build so a new nest does not move right in.

Built for our summers

Late summer is wasp season here

From late summer into fall, wasps and yellow jackets get aggressive across the Metro-East, right when everyone is outside. We clear nests for homes and businesses in Edwardsville, Belleville, O’Fallon, and across southwestern Illinois, often the same day you call.

Do not risk a nest yourself

A big nest, a wall colony, or a ground nest is worth one call. Reach the Barnetts and we will take it down safely, often the same day.

Licensed and insured. A+ BBB. Guaranteed results at fair prices.

Good questions

Wasp and hornet questions, answered

How fast can you remove a wasp nest? +
Often the same day. A nest by a door or where kids play is a real sting risk, so call early at (618) 651-1360 and we will do our best to get out to you today.
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself? +
For a small, low nest, sometimes. For a large nest, a wall or ground colony, or anyone with a sting allergy in the home, it is not worth the risk. We have the gear and the timing to take it down safely.
Will the wasps come back after you remove the nest? +
We treat the entry points and the spots they like to build so a new colony does not move into the same place. If activity comes back, you call us and we take care of it.
Do you handle hornets and yellow jackets too? +
Yes. We treat wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets, including the ground-nesting and in-wall yellow jackets that are the hardest to reach safely.
