If you’re dealing with buzzing nests around your home, you’re not alone. In South Haven, wasps, hornets, and bees become especially active during the warmer months, making it hard to enjoy your yard or even walk out the front door. That’s where professional wasp control, hornet control, and bee control come in. At Pest Pros of Michigan, we don’t just remove nests carefully—we find the cause and stop them.
Our wasp, hornet, and bee inspection starts with locating the nest and assessing whether the infestation is active. From there, we determine the most protective and most effective stinging insect removal strategy, especially if nests are high up or inside wall voids. Whether it’s a ground-nesting yellowjacket or an aggressive hornet colony in your soffit, we’re equipped to handle it. We also offer preventive solutions to help keep them from coming back.
If you’re spotting flying insects hovering around eaves, hiding in your siding, or making it impossible to use your backyard, give us a call. Thanks to our experience with Battle Creek pest control, our local techs know exactly what to look for and how to handle it.
Why Stinging Insects Are a Problem
Here are four ways stinging insects create problems for your home and family:
They don’t go away on their own
Stinging insects are territorial. Once they’ve set up shop near your home, they’re not just passing through. Nests only grow bigger over the summer and can come back next year.
They sting—sometimes repeatedly
Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting multiple times. And yellowjackets? They’re swift to sting when threatened at their nest. A disturbed colony can swarm quickly, posing a serious risk to pets and anyone allergic to stings.
They nest in tricky spots
These pests build nests in wall voids, under decks, around eaves, and even inside attic spaces. DIY removal can go south quickly, especially without proper gear. Some nests aren’t even visible until you see activity—or get stung.
They disrupt outdoor living
Whether you’re grilling, gardening, or watching the kids play, constant wasp or hornet activity makes it nearly impossible to relax outdoors. Just having them around can turn a peaceful backyard into a place you avoid, with the constant buzz and sting risk.
What Are the Signs of Stinging Insect Infestation?
Frequent buzzing or sightings in one area
If you keep seeing wasps or hornets flying to the same corner of your house or bush, there’s a good chance there’s a nest nearby. Their traffic patterns are often a giveaway.
Visible nests under eaves or in trees
Wasp nests often look like upside-down umbrellas, while hornet nests are larger and more enclosed. Seeing either is a clear sign you’ve got a problem—and it’s best not to poke around.
Insects are coming in and out of the wall gaps
If you notice stingers entering small holes in your siding or soffits, you could be dealing with a hidden infestation. These nests are often inside walls or ceilings and require a professional to address carefully.
Increased aggression late in summer
As fall approaches, food becomes scarce, and colonies grow larger. That’s when wasps and hornets get bolder, often hanging around trash cans, picnics, and porch lights.
South Haven Stinging Insect Control FAQs
What types of stinging insects do you treat in South Haven?
We handle wasp control, hornet removal, and bee nest inspections. Most calls are for yellowjackets in the ground, soffit-nesting hornets, or paper wasps under eaves. We don’t treat honey bees unless they pose a hazard risk.
Is it harmless to remove a wasp or hornet nest myself?
We don’t recommend it. These pests can swarm aggressively if disturbed. Our technicians wear protective suits and use specialized products like Waspfreeze or Bifen to treat and remove nests carefully.
Do you offer preventative treatments for wasps and hornets?
Yes. During any home pest treatment, we apply materials to common nesting sites like eaves and siding gaps. Preventative treatments are beneficial if you’ve had issues in past summers.
How quickly can you come out for an inspection?
In most cases, we offer same-week appointments for stinging insect inspections in South Haven. If the nest poses a high risk, we prioritize urgent removals.

Testimonials
“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
