Why Wasp Removal Matters in North Texas
A few key reasons homeowners need prompt professional action:
- Increasing aggression in warmer months. As temperatures rise in spring and summer, yellow jackets and paper wasps become more territorial.
- Multiple hiding spots. Common nesting sites include eaves, attics, sheds, deck framing, underground burrows, and play structures.
- Health risks. Wasps sting repeatedly and pose serious allergy threats to children and pets.
- Potential property damage. Nesting near fascia boards or roofing materials can cause structural issues.
- DIY removal is risky. Disturbing nests without proper gear and training often leads to swarms.
Because wasp removal is already included in our General Pest Control plans, you’re backed by year-long protection with no extra nest-removal charges.

Our Wasp Removal Process
We follow a thorough four-step system designed for safety and effectiveness:
1. Property Inspection
Our technician assesses your home—from attic spaces to yard areas—to locate nests and evaluate infestation severity.
2. Professional Nest Removal
Armed with protective gear and specialized tools, we remove nests safely. Active and developing nests are bagged and removed entirely.
3. Residual Preventative Treatment
An EPA-approved insecticide is applied near nest sites and entry points, deterring returning colonies and future nesting.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Wasp control is part of both our Residential Pest Control and Commercial Pest Control plans. We revisit treated areas during follow-ups and retreat if new activity is found.
Wasp Species We Treat
| Species | Behavior | Risk Level | Treatment Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper Wasps | Non-aggressive unless provoked | Moderate | Common near eaves, removal early prevents expansion |
| Yellow Jackets | Highly aggressive | High | Nest often underground or in wall voids, handled with care |
| Mud Daubers | Solitary, rarely sting | Low | Indicate structural gaps; removal often preventative |
Even if you’re unsure, our team will inspect and identify the species before proceeding with appropriate treatment.
Wasp Facts
Wasp nests vary greatly in shape and location. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs, while yellow jackets often build concealed dome-shaped nests in the ground, wall voids, or dense shrubs. Mud daubers, on the other hand, create small mud nests in sheltered corners like attics, sheds, and garages. Recognizing the type of nest helps determine the risk level and removal strategy.
Stinging behavior differs by species. Mud daubers are solitary and rarely sting unless provoked, whereas paper wasps may defend their nests when disturbed. Yellow jackets are the most aggressive, capable of stinging repeatedly and swarming perceived threats. For families with children or pets—or anyone with wasp allergies—removal of aggressive nesters is a high priority.
Attractants for wasps are surprisingly common. Sweet food, soda cans, water bowls, uncovered trash, compost, and even decaying wood can draw wasps to your property. They also gravitate toward flowering plants, overripe fruit, and unsecured entry points in structures. Eliminating attractants is an essential part of long-term prevention.
Abandoned nests may still pose a threat. Even if a nest appears empty, it may contain dormant individuals or pheromones that attract new wasps to reuse the site. It’s best to have old nests professionally removed to reduce the chance of reinfestation.
Wasps do have ecological value—they help control other pests like flies, aphids, and caterpillars. However, their presence in or near living spaces presents too many risks to ignore. Our wasp control services strike a balance between preservation of beneficial species and ensuring your safety.
Peak wasp season in North Texas typically runs from spring through early fall. Queens begin building nests in early spring, and populations grow quickly by summer. Late-season nests are often larger and more aggressive, which is why early detection and treatment are crucial.
