Identifying & Eliminating Hornet and Wasp Nests in the Tri-Cities
The most common stinging insects around Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport—and how our local experts remove them safely.



In Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, warm seasons, wooded property lines, decks, sheds, and attic/eave voids create perfect nesting conditions for hornets and wasps. When nests are near doors, patios, play areas, or trash cans, stings become a real risk—especially for kids, pets, and anyone with allergies. Common stinging insects we treat locally:
Paper Wasps: Often build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, soffits, and railings.
Yellowjackets: Typically, the most aggressive; frequently nest in the ground (lawns, mulch beds) or inside wall voids.
Bald-Faced Hornets: Large aerial nests in trees, rooflines, and overhangs; highly defensive close to the nest.
European Hornets: Larger, loud flyers that may nest in hollow walls, attics, or tree cavities.
What we do differently: we don’t just knock down visible insects—we find the nest and treat the source, including hidden voids and re-entry points.
Our Proven, Effective Hornet & Wasp Removal Process in Tri-Cities & Nearby Areas
Our Proven, Effective Hornet & Wasp Removal Process in Tri-Cities & Nearby Areas
A strategic, multi-step approach designed for safe nest removal and lasting protection around your home or business.
Comprehensive Inspection
We inspect your property inside and out to identify the species, locate the nest (eaves, wall voids, ground burrows, trees), and map flight paths.
Customized Treatment Plan
No one-size-fits-all approach—ground nests, aerial nests, and void nests require different strategies. We tailor the plan to your layout and risk level.
Safe & Effective Application
We use professional, EPA-registered products and precise methods to neutralize nest activity while protecting your family, pets, and outdoor spaces.
Prevention & Moisture Recommendations
When appropriate, we remove nests and address common re-nesting conditions (gaps, void access, attractants).
Follow-Up & Ongoing Protection
If activity persists within the covered window, we’re available to follow up and make it right.
