Wasps and hornets are dangerous to children and small pets, and if you're searching for how to get rid of wasps, the honest answer is that consumer sprays can scatter the colony without destroying it, and an angry colony is worse than the one you started with.
Here's how we get rid of wasps and hornets for good, and the steps are the same for yellow jackets:
- Inspect exterior and interior spaces to locate every nest, under eaves, inside wall voids, and in the ground, and identify the species before treatment.
- Destroy the nest with professional-grade residual insecticides and knockdown sprays that are much stronger than consumer products. Ground nests are best controlled with insecticide powder.
- Remove the nest, apply a second pass of insecticide at areas of entry, then seal gaps, cover vents with mesh, and clear food sources like uncovered trash and pet food to keep wasps away for good.
If you see a wasp or hornet nest on your property, stay away. Wasps are aggressive when the nest is threatened, and unlike bees, they can sting more than once. Our technicians have the experience, insecticides, and protective clothing to handle wasp nest removal quickly and safely. We keep prices reasonable, so call us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wasps does your pest control service treat?
We treat every stinging pest that builds a nest in San Antonio and Schertz, including paper wasps, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and hornets. If you're wondering about the difference between a wasp and a hornet, a hornet is simply a larger kind of wasp, and both get the same serious treatment from us. Whatever's buzzing around your eaves, we've seen it, and we know how to stop it.
How does Colt Pest Control stop wasps from returning?
We destroy the nest and remove it, not just the wasps you see. That's the difference between professional pest control for wasps and a can of spray. Wasps come back to rebuild in spots that worked before, so after removal we apply another pass of insecticide at areas of entry, seal gaps, cover vents with mesh, and clear the food sources that attract new colonies. Quarterly service under a protection plan keeps nesting wasps off your property year-round.
How do you deal with wasp nests?
Carefully, and with the right equipment. We locate every nest on the property, destroy it with professional-grade insecticide, using a powder for ground nests and residual sprays for most cases. Then, we physically remove nests and debris so wasps don’t return.
Please don't knock a nest down yourself. Wasps sting repeatedly when the nest is threatened, and that's a bad afternoon for anybody. Stay away, and let our team handle it quickly and safely.
How much does wasp pest control cost?
Wasp pest control costs depend on how many nests you have and where they're built. A paper wasp nest under an eave is a quicker job than yellow jackets inside a wall.
We keep prices reasonable, and we'll give you an honest quote after a free inspection, with a response within 24 hours. If wasps are a recurring problem on your property, a year-round protection plan starting at $35/month covers nesting wasps (along with the rest of the usual Texas suspects).
How do I keep wasps away from my house?
The best way to keep wasps away is to make your home a bad place to build. Keep trash covered, don't leave pet food outside, seal gaps around your roofline and siding, and cover vents with mesh. These steps can be successful, but expertise goes a long way.
If you're seeing steady wasp traffic in the same spot every day, there's likely a nest nearby. That's the time to call us before the colony grows. Feel free to contact us for assistance.
