 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Christopher for coming out again and helping us with the ant problem and explaining that sometimes ants will send out a small army to identify an area to try and penetrate.  The extra layer of products you put down around the area is greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Clear Defense as your pest control specialist. Thanks again Christopher!

OUR PROCESS

If the Nest Is Up High, That's Exactly Where We Go.

We treat overhangs and eaves up to 25 feet in full gear, no extra charge.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Pest Control FAQs

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 near Raleigh, NC homes?

Bald-faced hornets build large paper nests in Triangle NC trees and under eaves during fall. Yellow jackets are the more dangerous species, they nest underground near Raleigh and Durham patios and build inside wall voids. Disturbing either nest type triggers an aggressive defensive response. Nests grow quickly from small spring starts to several hundred hornets by late fall.

Are bald-faced hornets a risk near Raleigh, NC homes?

Bald-faced hornets near Raleigh homes are aggressive nest defenders, they sting multiple times without provocation when a nest is disturbed or closely approached. Yellow jackets build underground near Raleigh patios and in wall voids throughout Wake County. Anyone with a sting allergy faces serious risk from either species. Wake County’s active season from April through October gives both species a long building window. Finding a nest in spring when it’s still small makes removal far safer.

How do I prevent hornets from building nests?

Keep critters away from your Raleigh, NC property by fixing wet spots. Vacuum your room corners well to grab old crumbs. Never let wet garden soil touch your wood siding.

Can I remove a hornet nest on my own?

The most useful first step for a Raleigh, NC property is identifying the source of the activity. Disturbing a nest can trigger defensive stinging, so removal should be handled with appropriate protective equipment. ClearDefense crew members can treat reachable eaves up to twenty-five feet when the site conditions allow. Any follow-up is handled according to the documented terms for that service.

How long does hornet control treatment take?

Customers in Raleigh, NC can begin by noting where and when the activity appears. Timing depends on nest location, height, access, and whether more than one active area is present. The crew member identifies the insect, treats the relevant nest or activity area, and explains any applicable re-treatment terms. Any follow-up is handled according to the documented terms for that service.
