Wasp, Bee & Hornet Removal in Austin, TX

Texas sun and stone construction make Austin homes ideal nesting spots for paper wasps, yellow jackets, and mud daubers. Honey bees are protected and ecologically valuable — we coordinate live relocation with local beekeepers whenever the colony can be saved. For everything else, we remove the nest safely on the first visit.

Species we treat in Austin

  • Paper wasps
  • Yellow jackets
  • Bald-faced hornets
  • Mud daubers
  • Cicada killer wasps
  • Honey bees (relocated live when possible)
  • Africanized honey bees

Signs of an infestation

  • Visible nests under eaves, in soffits, attic vents, or shrubbery
  • Increased flying activity around a single point on the house
  • Buzzing inside walls (often honey bees, sometimes yellow jackets)
  • Aggressive insects defending a nest area
  • Yellow jackets entering and exiting a hole in the ground or wall

Why this matters in Austin

Africanized honey bees are established across Central Texas and are far more defensive than European honey bees. We assess every bee colony for behavior and location before recommending relocation versus removal. Ground-nesting yellow jackets become especially aggressive in late summer.

Our treatment approach

Wasp and hornet nests are treated with a fast-knockdown product and physically removed. For honey bees, we work with licensed beekeepers to perform a live cut-out when the colony is accessible and non-aggressive. All technicians wear full bee suits — please do not attempt removal yourself.
