Prevent It

Stop the swarm before it starts.

Hornets are known for their short fuse, and their big nests can make any yard feel off-limits. We shut down nesting spots before they take hold and keep things in check with every visit. That way, you can enjoy your space without the stress of a swarm.

Know It

Breezy vs. Hornets

Our Breezy Pros bring more than just bug spray to the job. With world-class training, years of hands-on experience, and a sharp eye for nesting spots, they know exactly how to stop hornets in their tracks. From large paper nests hanging in trees to hives tucked under rooflines, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to handle it fast. Best of all, we don’t just know bugs—we know people. That means you’ll get top-tier service and real results with every visit.

Fall is here. We're ready.

As the leaves start to fall, pests start planning their move indoors. From spiders and roaches to sneaky rodents, cooler temps bring all the wrong kind of houseguests. That’s why fall protection matters — and why our Breezy Pros are already one step ahead. We know the patterns, the hideouts, and how to keep your home feeling just the way it should: pest-free and easy.

Signs you've got hornets.

Buzzing sound

A loud hum or steady buzz near your home could mean a nest is close by.

Aggressive behavior

Hornets get defensive fast—if they’re chasing people or pets, their nest is likely nearby.

Nests

Hornets build large paper nests under eaves, trees, or overhangs—hard to miss once they get going.

Dead insects

Hornets prey on other bugs, so finding extra dead insects around can be another sign.

Helpful tips.

1. Seal entry points

Check siding, soffits, and gaps around your roofline. Closing off small cracks helps keep hornets from building nests.

2. Avoid nest disturbance

If you spot a hornet nest, don’t swat or spray at it yourself. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive behavior.

3. Use traps carefully

Hornet and wasp traps can reduce activity in problem spots. Place them away from patios, decks, or play areas.

4. Keep garbage sealed

Hornets are drawn to food scraps and sweet smells. Keep outdoor trash sealed tight and move bins away from entry points.

5. Keep outdoor food/drinks covered

Open soda cans, fruit, and meats on the grill attract hornets fast. Use covers or lids whenever you’re eating outside.

6. Trim vegetation

Trim bushes, shrubs, and tree branches regularly. Overgrown vegetation gives hornets extra cover to build nests.
