Hornet control in Charleston

Hornets are large, social wasps known for their aggressive behavior and painful stings. They often build nests in trees, shrubs, and sometimes in attics.

The Problem

Hornets are members of the wasp family and are recognized for their size, which can range from 0.5 to 2 inches in length. They are typically black and yellow, with a robust body and a distinctive head. Hornets are social insects that live in colonies, which can contain hundreds to thousands of individuals. They are known for their aggressive defense of their nests, especially when provoked. Hornets primarily feed on other insects, making them beneficial for pest control, but their stings can be quite painful and may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Our Treatment Process

  • Thorough inspection to locate nests and assess the level of activity
  • Safe removal of hornet nests by trained professionals
  • Preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of future infestations
  • Ongoing monitoring to ensure hornets do not return

Our approach focuses on safe and effective removal while minimizing risks to homeowners.
