Looking for hornet removal this December? We offer expert solutions to safely eliminate nests and protect your home from stinging insects all winter.
About us
We understand that discovering hornets on your property creates immediate concern for your family’s safety. Our team at PCI Pest Control specializes in complete hornet removal, from accessible nests in eaves and shrubs to challenging locations like wall voids and attics.
What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to stinging insect control. We don’t just knock down the nest and leave.
Our technicians arrive in full protective gear and assess each situation with care. We apply targeted treatments using professional-grade products, remove neutralized nests when possible, and apply residual barriers to prevent returning foragers from rebuilding.
Whether you’re dealing with an in-ground yellowjacket colony or hornets tucked deep in your crawlspace, we have the equipment and experience to handle it safely. We also offer ongoing protection through our All Seasons plans, which include coverage for wasps, hornets, and other common Pacific Northwest pests between your regular service visits.
Our goal is simple: eliminate the threat, protect your home, and give you peace of mind. Most hornet activity is neutralized during our service visit, though some foragers may return for up to 72 hours as the treatment takes full effect.

Our Process
Our Process: Safe, Fast, Effective Hornet Removal
01
We arrive in full protective gear and conduct a thorough property assessment to locate all hornet nests and activity zones. For example, we inspect eaves, shrubs, structure corners, wall voids, attics, crawlspaces, and in-ground areas where hornets often build nests during fall as they prepare colonies for winter.
02
We apply a targeted knockdown treatment using professional-grade dust or aerosol directly to the hornet nest while wearing full protective gear. In November, as Pacific Northwest temperatures drop and hornets become more aggressive while defending their dying colonies, we work fast to neutralize the nest and apply a residual barrier treatment around the area to eliminate returning foragers over the next 48 to 72 hours.
03
We return within 48 to 72 hours to remove the neutralized nest and conduct a thorough inspection of the surrounding area for any remaining hornet activity. During this November follow-up, we check for late-season stragglers that may have been away from the colony during initial treatment, verify the residual barrier is holding strong against Pacific Northwest rain, and ensure no secondary nests exist nearby that could pose a threat as temperatures continue to drop.

FAQs
We charge between $220 and $325 for hornet removal, depending on several factors.
The final cost depends on the nest location, accessibility, and whether it requires specialized equipment or multiple treatments.
Larger homes with multiple nests or hard-to-reach areas like wall voids and attics typically cost more than straightforward exterior removals.
During fall, hornets become more aggressive as colonies reach peak size, which can make removal more complex and time-intensive.

Our guarantee covers the specific treatment area and ensures the nest is neutralized. For example, if we treat a hornet nest in your eaves or under your deck this November and activity persists beyond the expected 72-hour period for returning foragers, we’ll come back to make it right.

We provide a quick Pest Control Evaluation for $50 that includes a 20-30 minute assessment with photos and on-site pricing, or you can schedule our comprehensive Peace of Mind Inspection for $150 if you need a detailed property walkthrough.
For example, if you have a hornet nest in your eaves or an in-ground yellowjacket colony near your foundation, we’ll assess the location and provide clear pricing before any treatment begins.
Yes, our hornet removal treatments are safe for both children and pets. We use EPA-registered products that are family-friendly once they dry, which takes about 60 minutes after application.
During the fall months when hornets are most active, we take extra precautions to protect your loved ones. For example, we ask that children and pets stay inside during the treatment process and avoid the treated area for 2-3 days while any remaining foragers dissipate.
Our technicians apply targeted treatments to nests and entry points rather than broad applications throughout your property. This focused approach minimizes exposure while maximizing effectiveness.
We’re happy to discuss any specific concerns about your children or pets before we begin service.
