OUR PROCESS

Hornets Don't Wait. Neither Does Our Crew.

We find every nest, treat up to 25 feet high, no extra fees.

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 common in Winston-Salem, NC?

Bald-faced hornets are the most visible stinging insect in Piedmont NC — they build large gray paper nests in trees and under eaves. Yellow jackets are the more aggressive species, nesting underground near patios and inside wall voids. Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem homeowners see peak nest activity from June through October most years.

What types of hornets are most dangerous in Winston-Salem, NC?

Both bald-faced hornets and yellow jackets present real sting risk near Winston-Salem homes. Bald-faced hornets sting repeatedly without provocation when a nest is disturbed. Yellow jackets build underground near patios and in wall voids throughout Forsyth County; often going undetected until someone disturbs the entrance. Anyone with a sting allergy faces serious risk from either species. Nests grow from small spring starts to several hundred workers by late fall; early removal is a better option.

How do I prevent hornets from building nests?

Keep your Winston-Salem, NC house safe by checking for small wall cracks. Keep indoor trash cans shut tight to block bad smells. Use a small fan in damp basements to keep it dry.

Can I remove a hornet nest on my own?

At a Winston-Salem, NC property, the technician reviews active areas before recommending the next steps. 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 recommended plan will reflect the pest and the areas where activity is present.

How long does hornet control treatment take?

The findings at the Winston-Salem, NC property determine how the technician addresses the concern. 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 technician can confirm property-specific instructions during scheduling or at the visit.
