The Problem
Why DIY nest removal is dangerous
Disturbing a nest without protection triggers an aggressive swarm
Wasps and hornets detect vibration and approaching threats. Knocking a nest down, spraying from a can, or getting too close triggers an immediate defensive swarm. A single person can receive dozens of stings in seconds — yellow jackets are especially aggressive.
Yellow jackets nest in the ground — hard to see until disturbed
Yellow jackets build ground nests in lawns, flower beds, and under landscaping. The entrance is often a small hole that looks like nothing. Ground nests are the most dangerous because they're easy to stumble into while mowing or working in the yard.
Stings can be life-threatening for those with allergies
Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting multiple times. For individuals with allergies, a single sting can trigger anaphylaxis. Even people without known allergies can have serious reactions to multiple stings from a disturbed colony.
The Solution
Green's stinging insect services
Wasps & yellow jackets — all SC species
Paper wasps under eaves and roof overhangs, yellow jackets both aerial and ground-nesting, mud daubers on siding and structures. Treatment eliminates the colony at the source, not just the visible exterior of the nest.
Hornets — bald-faced and European
Bald-faced hornets build large aerial nests in trees, shrubs, and on structures. European hornets nest in wall voids and tree cavities. Both species are aggressive defenders. Dedicated hornet removal service available — see the hornet page for details.
Carpenter bees — wood damage + stinging risk
Carpenter bees bore into wood siding, decks, fascia boards, and trim. Males are territorial and dive-bomb people; females can sting. Left untreated, boring damage compounds each season. Dedicated carpenter bee treatment service available.
Nest removal after treatment
After the colony is eliminated, nest removal prevents the location from being reused the following season. Abandoned nests attract new colonies when left in place.
