Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal in Media, PA
Wasp, hornet and yellow jacket nests on the house, the deck or in the ground.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Paper wasps hang open nests under eaves, railings and grill covers. Bald-faced hornets build a large gray ball in a tree or under an overhang. Yellow jackets nest in the ground or inside a wall, and they are the ones most likely to sting.
We find the nest, work out what is building it and take it down. If they turn out to be honey bees, we tell you and point you to a beekeeper.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Wasps flying in and out of one spot
- A gray paper nest under an eave, a railing or the deck
- Yellow jackets going into a hole in the lawn
- Insects going into a gap in the siding

Questions people ask
What to know about wasp & hornet nest removal.
Do you remove honey bees?
Honey bees are moved by beekeepers. If we find honey bees, we will tell you and point you to one.
Can I knock the nest down myself?
We do not recommend it. Hornets and yellow jackets defend the nest, and a ground nest can hold hundreds of insects.
Will they come back next year?
They do not reuse an old nest, but a sheltered spot can draw a new queen in spring. Closing the gap they used helps.
