HORNETS NEST REMOVAL IN LADNER, TSAWWASSEN AND SOUTH DELTA
HORNET NEST REMOVAL IN LADNER, TSAWWASSEN AND SOUTH DELTA
A hornet nest in the hedge or up in a tree often goes unnoticed until someone trims too close and
sets off the whole colony. Hornets defend their nest hard and will chase you further than most
wasps. Go Green removes hornet nests safely, from low hedges to high branches and rooflines, so
you can use your yard again.

Hornets We See in South Delta Homes
Bald faced hornets are the hornet most Ladner and Tsawwassen homeowners run into. They're black with white markings on the face and tail, and they build large, round, grey paper nests in trees, shrubs, hedges and under leaves. A nest can grow bigger than a football by late summer. Read more in our post on bald faced hornets.
If you have yellow and black wasps nesting in the ground or inside a wall, see our wasp nest removal page instead.

How We Remove Hornets Nest
We locate the nest, check how high it is and what's around it, and remove or treat it with full protective gear. Nests high in trees or near power lines need the right equipment and experience. We make sure the colony is dealt with so returning hornets don't rebuild in the same spot.

Hornet Season
in Delta
A single queen starts each nest in spring. By August the colony can number in the hundreds,
and the workers become more defensive as the season goes on. Late summer is when most
stings happen, often during yard work. Old nests are not reused the next year, but a good
nesting spot often attracts a new queen.
Stay Safe Around a Hornet Nest
- Keep children and pets away from the area until the nest is removed.
- Don't trim hedges or use a ladder near an active nest.
- Never hit, spray or throw anything at the nest.
- If someone has trouble breathing or swelling of the face after a sting, call 911.

Hornet Removal FAQ
Are bald face hornets real hornets?
They're a type of yellowjacket, but they look and behave like hornets, so most people call them hornets.
Can I leave the nest until winter?
The colony dies off after the first hard frosts, but until then it keeps growing. If the nest is near a door, path or play area, removal is the safer choice.
Do hornets come back to the same nest?
No. Each nest is used for one season only, though new queens may build nearby.
