About this service
Wasp and Hornet Removal Beaufort SC Done Right
Wasp and hornet removal Beaufort SC is the licensed removal of active wasp, yellow jacket, and hornet colonies from a structure, plus treatment of the nest site and the entry points so the colony does not return. It is not a can of spray from the hardware store. We suit up, identify the species, knock down the colony with the right product for that species, and remove the nest when it is safe to do so.
Beaufort's warm, humid climate keeps colonies active from March into November, and the paper wasp nests under porch ceilings and soffits are the calls we run most. A single bald-faced hornet nest can hold 400 workers by late summer, and yellow jackets nesting in a wall void will chew through drywall if you leave them. If you have been searching wasp and hornet removal in Beaufort SC near me, we are the local crew that answers.

What's included
What Our Wasp and Hornet Removal Includes
Every visit covers the inspection, species ID, treatment, nest removal, and site sealing for the colonies we find. We tell you upfront if something falls outside that scope, like a nest inside a wall that needs a small access cut, so there are no surprises.
✓
Full Property Inspection
We check eaves, soffits, porch ceilings, shutters, fence lines, ground holes, and outbuildings with an inspection flashlight. Most homes have more than one nest, and we find the ones you have not spotted yet.
✓
Species Identification
Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets each get a different product and approach. Misidentifying the species is why DIY sprays fail. We confirm what you have before we treat.
✓
Targeted Colony Treatment
We apply the correct dust, residual, or bait at labeled rates using a power sprayer or handheld insecticide sprayer. Wall-void and ground colonies get a dust the workers spread through the nest themselves.
✓
Nest Removal and Disposal
Once the colony is down, we scrape, bag, and remove the nest. We do not leave a dead nest on your soffit for another queen to reuse. Attachment points get treated after removal.
✓
Entry Point Sealing
Any gap the colony used to get behind siding, into a soffit, or under a porch ceiling gets sealed. This is the step that keeps wasp and hornet removal in Beaufort, South Carolina from being a yearly repeat.
✓
72-Hour Follow-Up
If activity continues past 72 hours, we come back at no charge. Stragglers for a day or two are normal as foragers return to a dead nest, and we explain that so you know what you are seeing.
How it works
How Our Wasp and Hornet Removal Works
01
Phone Triage
You call (843) 892-8051 and describe where the nest is and how big it looks. We ask about height, whether it is in a wall or the ground, and whether anyone in the home is allergic. That tells us what gear to load and whether it is a same-day or next-morning job.
02
On-Site Inspection
Our state-licensed applicator walks the property with an inspection flashlight, checking eaves, soffits, porch ceilings, shutters, fence lines, and any ground holes. We identify the species, because a paper wasp nest and a yellow jacket ground colony get treated differently. This takes 10 to 15 minutes.
03
Targeted Treatment
We apply the correct product for that species, usually a dust or a residual spray delivered with a power sprayer or handheld insecticide sprayer. Wall-void colonies get a dust that the workers track back into the nest. Exposed nests get a direct knockdown. We work in the cooler morning or evening hours when the colony is settled.
04
Nest Removal and Sealing
Once the colony is down, we scrape and bag the nest and treat the attachment point. Any gap the wasps used to get behind the siding or into the soffit gets sealed. That step is what stops the next queen from claiming the same spot next spring.
05
Walkthrough and Follow-Up
We walk the property with you, show you what we treated, and point out any spots to watch. Expect a few stragglers for 24 to 48 hours as foragers return; that is normal and not a failed treatment. If activity continues after 72 hours, we come back at no charge.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Power sprayers
Used for perimeter residuals and larger exterior surfaces where a pump sprayer would run out mid-job.
Insecticide sprayers
Handheld units for precise application on exposed nests, soffits, and entry points without overspray.
Inspection flashlights
Essential for finding nests in shaded eaves, crawlspaces, and wall voids where a phone light will not reach.
Extension poles and ladders
For nests at roofline height on two-story Beaufort homes where a step ladder will not get you close enough.
Dust applicators
Deliver insecticidal dust into wall voids and ground holes so the colony spreads the product internally.
Sealants and exclusion materials
Used to close the gaps behind siding, soffits, and porch ceilings that colonies use to get inside.
Personal protective equipment
Suits, veils, and gloves rated for stinging insects, worn on every colony treatment without exception.
Real results
Before and after.
Paper Wasp Nest on Porch Ceiling
Before
A homeowner in Port Royal had three paper wasp nests along the porch ceiling, and the family had stopped using the front door. Two kids and a dog meant every exit was a risk, and a DIY spray had only knocked down one nest.
After
We removed all three nests, treated the ceiling line with a residual, and sealed the gaps at the soffit. The porch was usable the next day, and no new nests appeared on that ceiling through the rest of the season.
Yellow Jacket Colony in a Wall Void
Before
A Habersham homeowner heard scratching in the dining room wall and saw yellow jackets inside for three days. The colony had entered through a gap behind the exterior siding, and the family was keeping the room closed off.
After
We dusted the void through the exterior entry point at dusk. Activity dropped within 24 hours and stopped completely by day two. No interior cutting was needed, and we sealed the siding gap the same visit.
Ground Nest Next to a Play Set
Before
A family in Shell Point found a yellow jacket ground nest about four feet from their kids' swing set. Two children had already been stung, and the colony got aggressive any time someone walked near the hole.
After
We marked the hole, treated it with a labeled dust at dusk, and confirmed the colony was dead at the follow-up. We also found and treated a second smaller hole at the fence line. The play set was back in use within three days.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve for Beaufort Homeowners
Wasp and hornet problems rarely stay small. A colony that starts in May can hold hundreds of workers by August, and the nest is usually closer to a door or play area than you think.

Yellow jackets nesting inside wall voids
We dust the void through the exterior entry point so the workers carry the product into the nest. No interior cutting in most cases, and the colony collapses within 24 to 48 hours.
Ground colonies near play sets and gardens
We mark the hole, treat it with a labeled dust at dusk when the colony is inside, and return to confirm activity has stopped. We also check the rest of the yard for secondary holes.
Repeat nests on the same soffit every spring
We treat the attachment point with a residual and seal the gap. That is the difference between a knockdown and actual wasp and hornet extermination Beaufort SC that holds through the season.
Transparent pricing
What Wasp and Hornet Removal Costs
$150 - $550 depending on nest type, height, and colony count
Typical 2026 pricing in the Beaufort area runs $150 to $350 for a single exposed nest and $300 to $550 for wall-void or ground yellow jacket colonies. Height, nest size, species, and the number of colonies on the property all move the number. Our wasp and hornet Pest Exterminator for nests Beaufort pricing is quoted before we start, and the 72-hour follow-up is included, not billed as a second visit.
You are paying for a licensed applicator, the right product for your species, nest removal, site treatment, and a free 72-hour follow-up. A failed DIY attempt plus a hardware store spray usually costs more than a single professional visit.
01Nest height and access
A nest at the roofline of a two-story home takes ladders, extension poles, and more time than one under a single-story porch ceiling. Height is one of the biggest drivers of the price.
02Species and colony size
A small paper wasp nest is a fast knockdown. A bald-faced hornet nest with hundreds of workers takes more product and more careful timing, which raises the cost.
03Wall void or ground nest
Colonies inside walls or underground need dusting rather than direct spray, plus a follow-up to confirm the colony is dead. That extra step is why these jobs cost more than an exposed nest.
04Number of colonies
Most Beaufort properties have more than one nest once we inspect. Treating several nests on the same visit is cheaper per nest than scheduling separate trips.

What Beaufort Neighbors Say
★★★★★
“Had a bald-faced hornet nest the size of a basketball in my oak by the driveway. They came out the same afternoon, suited up, and had it down in under an hour. Treated the branch and told me to expect a few stragglers for two days. Exactly what happened. No one got stung.”

“Yellow jackets were coming out of a gap in my porch ceiling. I called two other companies and neither would give me a price on the phone. This crew quoted me a range, showed up when they said, and dusted the void. Activity stopped by the next morning. Worth every dollar.”

“We manage several rentals and wasp nests on the entryways are a recurring problem. They handle our wasp and hornet extermination Beaufort SC calls quickly and leave documentation for each unit. Tenants stopped complaining, and the follow-up visit when one nest came back was free.”

Priya S.Property Manager, Ladys Island
✓ VerifiedMost single-nest jobs in Beaufort run $150 to $350 in 2026, and wall-void or ground yellow jacket colonies run $300 to $550 because they take longer and more product. Height, nest size, and how many colonies are on the property all move the number. You get the price before we start.
A licensed applicator inspects the property, identifies the species, treats the colony with the correct dust or residual, removes the nest, and seals the entry point. We also treat the attachment site so a new queen does not reuse it. The whole visit usually takes 45 to 90 minutes for one nest.
Yes, once the product has dried, which takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on humidity. We keep pets and kids inside during the treatment and until we tell you it is clear. We use EPA-registered products at labeled rates, and we will point out exactly which areas we treated so you can keep your dog away from them.
The one that identifies the species, treats the nest site, and comes back free if activity continues. We do all three, and we are licensed, insured, and local to Beaufort County. Call (843) 892-8051 and we will tell you honestly whether your nest even needs a paid visit.
