Wasp & Hornet Removal in Hillsboro, OR
Wasp & Hornet Removal in Hillsboro, Oregon
Hillsboro's location in the Tualatin Valley makes it prime territory for wasps and hornets. Warm, dry summers followed by mild falls give colonies a long season to grow, and the mix of older homes near downtown, newer developments in Tanasbourne and Orenco Station, and semi-rural properties toward Cornelius and Forest Grove means we see nests in every possible location — under deck railings, inside wall voids, in ground nests along fence lines, and hanging from second-story eaves.
We regularly handle paper wasps building open-comb nests on Hillsboro porches, yellow jackets nesting in the ground around Jackson Bottom Wetlands area homes and community gardens, and bald-faced hornets setting up aerial nests in the mature trees that shade so many Hillsboro neighborhoods. Because different species behave differently — and because ground-nesting yellow jackets are often mistaken for something else entirely — proper identification matters. If you're seeing steady wasp traffic around your Hillsboro home but can't find the nest, give us a call. We'll track it down, remove it safely, and get your yard back to usable before your next backyard barbecue.
Waking up to find a paper wasp nest under your eaves or hornets buzzing near your back patio isn't just annoying in Hillsboro's warm summer months — it's a genuine safety risk for your family and pets. Our licensed technicians remove wasp and hornet nests throughout Hillsboro and the surrounding Washington County area, handling everything from small early-season nests to large, aggressive colonies.
We don't just knock nests down and leave. We locate every nest on your property, remove it completely, treat the area so returning wasps don't rebuild, and seal up the spots they favored so you stay protected all season long.

Wasps and hornets near your Hillsboro home are urgent — we schedule most removals within 24 hours so you're not waiting days with a dangerous nest overhead.
Licensed & Insured
Every technician is licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and fully insured, so the job is done right and you're protected.
Complete Nest Elimination
We remove the entire colony, including hidden nests inside wall voids and attics, not just the visible paper comb you can see from the ground.
Prevention That Lasts
After removal, we treat and seal entry points so Hillsboro's next wave of queens doesn't decide your porch is prime real estate.
Pet & Kid Safe Methods
We use targeted treatments applied directly to the nest, minimizing exposure to your yard, garden, and the Tualatin Valley's pollinators.
Our Removal Process
- Inspect & Identify We locate every nest on your property and identify the species — paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets each require a different approach.
- Treat The Nest Using protective equipment and targeted treatments, we eliminate the colony at the nest, including nests tucked inside walls, eaves, or underground.
- Remove & Clean The physical nest is removed so scavenger pests don't move in, and residual pheromones that attract new wasps are cleaned away.
- Prevent Rebuilding We treat attachment points and seal common entry areas, then share simple tips to make your Hillsboro property less attractive next season.
