Wasp and hornet nest removal in Swarthmore
Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal in Swarthmore, PA
Wasp, hornet and yellow jacket nests under eaves, in trees or in the ground.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Deep eaves, porch ceilings and shutters on Swarthmore's older houses give paper wasps sheltered places to build. Bald-faced hornets hang their gray nests in trees and shrubs, and yellow jackets nest in the ground or inside walls.
We find the nest, see what is building it and take it down. Honey bees go to a beekeeper, and we will point you to one.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Wasps flying in and out of the same spot
- A paper nest under the eaves, the porch ceiling or a shutter
- A gray ball-shaped nest in a tree or a bush
- Yellow jackets going into a hole in the ground

Questions people ask
What to know about wasp & hornet nest removal.
Do you take honey bees?
Honey bees are moved by beekeepers. If that is what you have, we will tell you and point you to one.
Can I spray it myself?
We do not recommend it. Hornets and yellow jackets defend the nest, and spraying a nest inside a wall can drive them into the house.
Is a nest in a tree a problem?
Only if it is near a door, a path or where children play. Hornets defend the nest when people come close.
