OUR PROCESS

We Treat Up to 25 Feet High. No Nest Gets Left Behind.

We locate every active nest, suit up, and clear it the same day.

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 common near Richmond, VA homes?

Bald-faced hornets are common near Richmond homes during fall — they build large visible paper nests in trees and under eaves. Yellow jackets nest underground near patios and inside wall voids. Northern Virginia and Richmond’s warm humid falls give hornets active building conditions from May through October. Nests found in fall are at peak size and most aggressive.

Are bald-faced hornets a concern near Richmond, VA homes?

Bald-faced hornets near Richmond homes are aggressive defenders that sting multiple times without warning when a nest is disturbed. Yellow jackets build underground near Richmond patios and in wall voids throughout the metro area. Both species pose real risk to anyone with an insect sting allergy. Virginia’s warm humid Fallls give both a building window from May through October. Nests found in fall are at peak size and most aggressive — spring discovery is far safer.

How do I prevent hornets from building nests?

Always keep your Richmond, VA kitchen spotless to stop hungry insects. Vacuum your room corners well to grab old crumbs. Fill wall cracks with strong caulk so they stay out.

Can I remove a hornet nest on my own?

The right next step in Richmond, VA depends on where the hornet control activity is occurring. 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 technician will explain the applicable next steps after reviewing the affected areas.

How long does hornet control treatment take?

The right next step in Richmond, VA depends on where the hornet control activity is occurring. 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. Questions about access or preparation can be resolved when the appointment is scheduled.
