Stinging Insects We Remove From Grafton Properties

Wasp Nest Removal

Paper wasps love the eaves, porch ceilings, deck railings, and mailboxes of Grafton homes. Their open, umbrella-shaped nests grow all summer, and by August a single nest can hold dozens of defensive workers. We remove the nest, treat the area, and show you how to keep new queens from rebuilding next spring. Explore our bee, hornet & wasp removal service →

Hornet Removal

Bald-faced hornets build large, gray, football-shaped nests in trees, shrubs, and under roof overhangs — and they defend them aggressively. These nests should never be knocked down or sprayed by hand. Our technicians use professional equipment to eliminate the colony safely, even for nests high off the ground.

Yellow Jacket Control

Yellow jackets are the most dangerous stinging insect we encounter in Grafton because their nests are often hidden — in the ground near gardens and swing sets, inside wall voids, or under deck boards. If you see wasps streaming in and out of a hole in the ground or a gap in your siding, keep your distance and call us. Sealing the hole yourself can drive the colony into your living space.

Honey Bee & Carpenter Bee Solutions

Honey bees are pollinators, and we treat them with care — when we confirm a true honey bee colony, we’ll walk you through your options, including relocation with local beekeepers whenever practical. Carpenter bees are another story: these solitary bees bore perfectly round holes into fascia boards, decks, and fences, and woodpeckers often make the damage worse. We treat the galleries and help you protect the wood.

Grafton Bee, Hornet & Wasp Removal FAQs

Yes — Grafton is our hometown. Prevent Pest Control is headquartered at 39900 Alexis Dr, Grafton, OH 44044, so when you call us about a wasp or hornet nest, you’re calling a local Grafton business, not a distant national chain. Get directions here.

Because our headquarters is right here in Grafton, we can often respond faster than anywhere else in our service area. We offer same-day appointments when possible and 24/7 emergency service at 440-610-5345 for dangerous situations, such as a nest near a doorway, a child’s play area, or when someone in the home has a sting allergy.

We handle paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, yellow jackets, mud daubers, carpenter bees, and honey bee situations on Grafton properties. Our technicians identify the species first, because the right removal method depends on whether you have a visible aerial nest, a hidden wall-void colony, or ground-nesting yellow jackets.

We strongly advise against it. Wasps and hornets defend their nests aggressively, and a disturbed colony can deliver dozens of stings in seconds — a serious medical risk for anyone, and life-threatening for people with allergies. Our technicians use protective equipment and professional products to remove nests safely.

Yes. We use EPA-approved, family and pet-friendly products, and our technicians will tell you exactly where treatment was applied and how long to keep children and pets away from the area, which is usually a short time.

Pricing depends on the type of insect, the size and location of the nest, and how accessible it is — a paper wasp nest under an eave is different from yellow jackets inside a wall void. We provide free quotes over the phone for every Grafton homeowner and business. Call or text 440-322-0887 for an estimate.

Honey bees are valuable pollinators, and we treat them differently than wasps and hornets. When we find a true honey bee colony, we discuss your options, which may include coordinating with local beekeepers for relocation whenever it’s practical, before considering any treatment.

Our service includes removing the nest, treating the area to eliminate remaining insects, and giving you prevention guidance so new queens are less likely to rebuild in the same spot. Follow-up visits during the guarantee period are included at no extra charge if activity returns.

Yes. Many Grafton families choose our quarterly service, which keeps stinging insects, ants, spiders, rodents, and other seasonal pests under control year-round. We also offer seasonal and one-time options, and we never require long-term annual contracts.

Call or text 440-322-0887 during business hours, use our 24/7 emergency line at 440-610-5345, or request service online. Since we’re based right in Grafton, a technician is never far away.
