Montgomery’s Experts in Safe Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Removal

Stinging insects are more than annoying—they can pose real dangers to families, pets, and anyone spending time outdoors. In Montgomery’s warm climate, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and other stinging insects build nests in eaves, attics, porches, play areas, trees, and even underground. When disturbed, they can become aggressive, making DIY removal dangerous and often ineffective.

At Harbor Pest Control, we specialize in fast, safe, and professional stinging insect removal. Whether you’ve spotted a paper wasp nest under the eaves, noticed hornets around a tree line, or discovered yellow jackets emerging from the ground, our team is ready to eliminate the threat and help prevent insects from returning.

How We Handle Stinging Insects

Focused on Safety First—For You and Your Home

Stinging insects are unpredictable, especially when nests are disturbed. That’s why our process prioritizes safety and uses protective gear, specialized tools, and targeted treatments to handle nests the right way—without putting your family at risk.

Immediate Risk Reduction

The moment we arrive, we assess the nesting area, flight patterns, and species behavior to determine the safest way to neutralize the threat. Species we commonly treat in Montgomery include:

  • Paper wasps
  • Yellow jackets
  • Bald-faced hornets
  • Mud daubers
  • Ground-nesting stinging insects

Each species requires a different removal strategy, and our technicians are trained to determine the correct approach instantly.

Customized Treatment for Each
Nest Type

Different nests call for different solutions:

Above-Ground Nests (Eaves, Soffits, Woodwork, Attics)

We use targeted treatments that knock down stinging insects quickly while minimizing chemical exposure to surrounding areas. In some cases, we remove the nest entirely once activity stops to discourage rebuilding.

Ground Nests

Yellow jackets commonly build underground nests that can be extremely aggressive. We use precise applications that penetrate the nest and eliminate the colony without risking unsafe excavation.

Tree & Bush Nests

For hornets or wasps nesting in trees or shrubs, we use a combination of distance tools and specialized treatments to avoid provoking swarms.

Hard-to-Reach Areas

Stinging insects often build nests high on second stories, in attic gables, or in hidden wall voids. We have the tools and products needed to safely access and treat these challenging locations.

Preventing Future Nesting

Once the immediate threat is gone, we help you prevent new nests by:

  • Identifying structural conditions that attract stinging insects
  • Suggesting repairs or sealing of small exterior gaps
  • Reducing sheltered areas where wasps like to build new nests
  • Offering ongoing seasonal protection during peak months

Montgomery’s climate allows stinging insects to remain active for long portions of the year—so prevention is key.

Our Stinging Insect Service Guarantee

If you’re on a recurring pest protection plan and stinging insects return to the same area between visits, we’ll come back and treat it again at no additional charge.

Your safety comes first. Every time.

Stinging Insect Control FAQs — Montgomery, AL

What types of stinging insects are common in Montgomery?

Paper wasps, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and hornets are most common. Yellow jackets often nest in the ground, while wasps and hornets prefer elevated or sheltered structures.

Can I remove a wasp or hornet nest myself?

It’s risky. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive swarming and painful stings. Professional removal ensures your safety and eliminates the colony effectively.

Are your stinging insect treatments safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use targeted applications that avoid unnecessary exposure. Once treated areas are dry, they are safe to access.

Why do stinging insects keep building nests on my home?

Montgomery homes often provide ideal shelter—eaves, porch ceilings, soffits, and protected corners are perfect nesting spots. Seasonal treatment can help break the cycle.

Do stinging insects return to old nests?

Most species don’t reuse old nests, but they often build new nests in the same areas. Removing old nests and treating hotspots helps prevent this.

When is stinging insect activity worst in Montgomery?

Activity peaks from late spring through fall, but warm winters can extend the season. Yellow jackets often become more aggressive in late summer.
