Hornets at a Golf Course Club House!
Today we received a call from a golf course in Kent that had hornets flying around inside their club house, needless to say this is not a good situation. Our technicians were able to get there within hours of them calling, to assess, and take care of the situation. Upon arrival we found that they had made one of the most common mistakes when it comes to yellow jackets, they had caulked them into their nest, leaving the only exit into the clubhouse. Many people think if they can not get out, they will just die, but what happens is they find a way out, usually into the building, and you end up with a whole nest worth of yellow jackets inside. While there we also identified 2 additional nests that could lead to potential problems, and were able to take care of those as well. If you have hornets, wasps, or yellow jackets building a nest in your wall, do not do anything, call us at 216-348-3379, and we will take care of it for you.
Captured Yellow Jackets
Today we arrived at a house where the customer told us they had a large Hornet nest growing in the front pillar of their house in Solon, we found that it was a very big, very active Yellow Jacket nest. Our technicians were able to vacuum up a large number of the yellow jackets (see below) in order to freeze, then send off to a company that makes a vaccine for people that are allergic. We were then able to leave a residual for any that were not captured during the vacuuming, this nest was very large, and could have led to issues had it been let go. If you have any bee, hornet, or wasp issues just give us a call at 216-348-3379.
European Hornets
Today we went to a customers house in Aurora Ohio to find that she had a nest of European Hornets, these large hornets are commonly called Giant Hornets, and often confused with the Asian Giant Hornet. These hornets do get very large, and in nature will nest in a hollowed out section of a tree, making nesting in the wall of your house an ideal spot for them. They generally avoid conflict, but are defensive of their hive, and of food sources, so if they are nesting in your wall, or a tree nearby it, you may be seen as a threat to their nest. If you should find you have a nest of European Hornets, do not approach it, just give us a call at 216-348-3379.
Bald Face Hornets
Bald Faced Hornets are actually not a true hornet, they belong to the yellow jacket family, and are easily distinguishable due to their black bodies with white markings, which lead to their name. Their nests are easy to identify as they make the classic football shaped paper nest at someones house. Today we went to a house in Solon Ohio to take care of a yellow jackets nest, and during our inspection of the property we found a Bald Face Hornet nest forming on the back of the house. Not only were we able to identify and potential problem, we were able to take care of it before it became worse.

Due to their aggression it is not advisable to try to treat them on your own, so if you have a bald faced hornets nest, or any other pest issue just give us a call at 216-348-3379.
Giant Hornets in a Bathroom Vent
Today we got a call from a woman describing a bee or hornet that is larger than a horse fly, and had been getting in her house. We arrived at her house to find that she had a nest of Giant Hornets. We were able to vacuum out, and collect the ones pictured below from the nest in her house in Streetsboro, before leaving a residual chemical for any that were not in the nest. Giant hornets can be very intimidating due to their large size, however are not particularly aggressive unless they feel threatened. Their stinger is about a 1/4 inch in length, and packs a large amount of venom, making their stings very painful.
