Hornet Control in Orange County

Hornets are among the most aggressive stinging insects in Orange County. Bald-faced hornets, a common local species, construct large, paper-like nests high in trees, shrubs, and sometimes on buildings. Colonies grow quickly during the summer, and hornets will fiercely defend their nests if disturbed. Unlike bees, hornets can sting repeatedly, and swarms may attack when threatened, making them especially dangerous near homes, playgrounds, or outdoor gathering areas. Their stings are painful and can be life-threatening for individuals with allergies. DIY sprays or attempts to knock down nests often provoke swarms, creating a serious risk for homeowners. Professional removal is the only safe way to address a hornet infestation.

We begin with a thorough inspection to locate hornet nests and evaluate risk areas. Our licensed technicians wear protective gear and use specialized treatments designed to eliminate colonies quickly and safely. Once the hornets are neutralized, we carefully remove the nest to prevent future activity in the same location. For high-risk areas, we apply eco-conscious deterrents and recommend structural or landscaping adjustments to reduce nesting opportunities. By combining targeted treatments with preventive strategies, we deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting hornet control.
