Zach with Clear Defense Pest Control did an awesome job! Very thorough and considerate of the safety of our dog! Highly recommend them! This was our first treatment for our problem so I’m anxious to see how it works! However, I have been using them for other treatments for almost three years! Totally recommend them!!

OUR PROCESS
From Nest Check to Focused Treatment
The bug is the symptom. The building is the problem. We treat both.
1. Inspect
We start by listening. Our technicians ask what you've been seeing and inspect the property to understand where pests are coming from and what conditions may be allowing them in.
2. Defend the Whole Property
Power sprayer treatment up to 30 ft, eaves, overhangs, every window and door seal, products that last 90 days, yard granulation included. Then we come back at 30 days to break the egg cycle.
3. Verify Every Step
After every visit, you get a defense report documenting every product by name, active ingredient, and EPA number. Your technician walks you through what was found and what was done. No mystery sprays. No guessing.
Calls stay with the local office instead of a remote call center. You receive clear arrival updates, an explanation of the planned work, and a digital report showing what the technician found and treated.
ClearDefense handles hornet activity around homes, garages, sheds, eaves, and outdoor living areas. Treatment is based on the nest location and the way hornets are moving across the property.
Everything you need to know about how ClearDefense protects your home, and why our process is different from day one.
What hornet species are most active in Charleston, SC?
Bald-faced hornets are the most common hornet species near Charleston homes. They build large visible nests in trees, under eaves, and in dense ornamental shrubs. Yellow jackets nest underground near patios and inside wall cavities. Charleston’s long warm season gives hornets time to build up large colonies before fall — some nests hold over 400 insects by September.
How dangerous are hornets in Charleston, SC?
Bald-faced hornets and yellow jackets both sting multiple times without warning when a nest is disturbed. Anyone with an insect sting allergy faces serious risk near an active nest. Nests grow from small spring starts to several hundred hornets by late summer. Finding a nest early in spring is far safer than attempting removal from a mature fall nest. Professional removal with proper equipment eliminates the nest without putting you at risk.
How do I prevent hornets from building nests?
Keep your Charleston, SC space safe by checking for small wall cracks. Fix leaky sinks right away to dry out damp spots. Keep your dry cereal in thick plastic boxes.
Can I remove a hornet nest on my own?
Property layout and the location of activity matter when addressing hornet control in Charleston, SC. Disturbing a nest can trigger defensive stinging, so removal should be handled with appropriate protective equipment. ClearDefense technicians can treat reachable eaves up to twenty-five feet when the site conditions allow. The next step is based on verified activity, accessible areas, and the selected service.
How long does hornet control treatment take?
A focused inspection in Charleston, SC helps identify the source and the appropriate service steps. Timing depends on nest location, height, access, and whether more than one active area is present. The technician identifies the insect, treats the relevant nest or activity area, and explains any applicable re-treatment terms. The recommended plan will reflect the pest and the areas where activity is present.
