Bald-Faced Hornet Nest Removal in Dayton, OH
The gray, football-shaped paper nest in a tree, gutter line or porch corner belongs to bald-faced hornets. They defend the nest aggressively for several feet in every direction and will sting repeatedly — this is not a ladder-and-can-of-spray job.

Advice on the nesting sites that keep attracting them
Bald-Faced Hornets questions Dayton homeowners ask
- How fast can you get out for bald-faced hornets?
- Most Miami Valley calls are scheduled within the same week, and stinging-insect emergencies are often handled same or next day. Ken schedules the visit himself when you call.
- Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
- Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied by a licensed applicator (ODA #12706), placed where pests travel rather than where your family does. We will tell you exactly how long to stay off treated surfaces.
- Do I have to sign a contract?
- No. One-time service, quarterly and monthly programs are all available, and nothing auto-locks you in. Quarterly customers get free re-treats between visits.
