Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal
Before you call a chemical exterminator, know that Birds and Bees Vashon can do effective chemical-free removal. We get many calls from people unsure of whether they have a honeybees or wasp/hornet nest, and sometimes it's even a friendly impostor. Wasp/hornet removal fees start at $50; a service call is $25 if no nest is removed. In-wall infestations requiring cut-outs (abatement) can be bid; David is a licensed and bonded carpenter able to abate and repair, if desired.
Curious to learn what's behind that wall or under a deck? We utilize FLIR imaging to check for heat signatures in these situations so you can also "see" the nest location and size.
We offer one free follow-up visit within two weeks for the same nest, if needed, since our removal is chemical-free and wasps are tenacious opportunists. We are also happy to share tips and best practices with the homeowner on how to keep these critters from returning and rebuilding.
​
This removal service is available ONLY on Vashon Island, but we offer fee-based phone consults to off-island customers on best removal practices.
​
When contacting us, here's a checklist of what will help us:
-
Location of nest (home or yard, how high up, in wall, in ground, hanging from eave or tree/shrub)
-
Do you have a photo of the critter (or nest) to text or email?
-
Level of emergency (are they in your entry path? Are they stinging you or your pets?)
-
When did you first notice them?
