Why Upper West Side Has a Hornets Problem
The tree-lined streets and proximity to both Riverside and Central Parks make the Upper West Side particularly attractive to hornets seeking nesting sites. The neighborhood's mix of classic pre-war buildings, brownstones, and modern residences requires specialized pest control approaches that respect architectural integrity while ensuring complete hornet elimination.
Why Choose Us for Hornet Removal in Upper West Side
Bald-faced hornets and European hornets are aggressive defenders of their nests and can sting multiple times — professional removal with proper protective equipment is essential. We treat the nest entrance and interior with a fast-acting knockdown product to neutralize the colony, wait for activity to cease, then physically remove the paper nest to prevent scavengers and future re-use of the structure. For hornets nesting inside wall voids or attic spaces, we use dust injection into the void to reach the nest without requiring opening the structure. Our 30-day guarantee means if hornet activity is observed in the treated area within a month, we return to assess and re-treat.

How do I know if I have hornets versus wasps or bees in my Upper West Side property?▾
Hornets are larger than typical wasps, often reaching 1.5 inches in length, with thick bodies and distinctive white or yellow markings. Their nests are usually gray, papery, and football-shaped, often found in trees, eaves, or attics. If you're unsure, our technicians provide free identification during the inspection—never attempt to approach a nest yourself, as hornets are aggressive when threatened.
