European Hornet Control in New Braunfels, TX

We treat a lot of european hornet in New Braunfels. Not because it's rare — because it's everywhere once the weather turns, and most pest companies still try to spray it like it's just another wasp. It's not, and doing it wrong either makes the colony defensive or leaves it right where it was. This page is the short version of how we think about it, written so you can decide whether to call us, wait it out, or handle it yourself. All three are sometimes the right answer.

How we treat european hornet in New Braunfels #

Here's how the job actually runs on a european hornet call in New Braunfels. We start with a free look — no quote over the phone, because we can't tell what we're dealing with until we see it. Our tech pulls up, walks the property, finds the nest (not always where the customer thinks it is), and we have a five-minute conversation about options before anything gets sprayed.

If we ever found a European hornet nest in our area (which is pretty unlikely), we’d handle it like we do with bald-faced hornets in hidden spots. We’d use a dust formulation applied at the nest entry point during dusk or dawn. We’d wear a full bee suit with sealed eye protection. After that, we’d wait 24-48 hours before removing the nest and keep an eye on the area afterward.
