If Someone in Your Home Is Allergic to Stings, Do Not Wait
A large wasp or hornet nest near an entry point is a genuine medical risk for allergic households. One wrong step near the nest can trigger a life-threatening reaction.
We hear this every week: someone got stung, or a child or pet disturbed a nest, and the situation became serious fast.
Do not spray the nest yourself, throw objects at it, or try to cover it. Disturbing a nest triggers mass stinging. Call us and stay away until we arrive.
What to do while you wait for us
- Keep children and pets away from the nest area
- If the nest is near a door, use a different entry point
- If someone is stung and has a known allergy, use their EpiPen and call 911
- Do not seal the entry point the wasps are using — this traps them inside and makes removal harder
Wasps, Hornets and Yellow Jackets in Georgetown TX
Not sure what you have? Here is how to tell the common stinging insects apart, and why it matters for treatment.
Paper Wasps
The most common stinging pest in Georgetown. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped, open-celled nests under eaves, in soffits, on windowsills, under decks, and in door frames. They are not aggressive unless the nest is threatened, but a nest near an entry point means daily encounters.
- Nest looks like an upside-down umbrella or honeycomb, usually tan or grey
- Found under eaves, soffits, deck joists, windowsills and inside garages
- Sting repeatedly and call others from the colony when disturbed
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are smaller, faster and far more aggressive than paper wasps. They build enclosed nests in wall cavities, underground, under walkways, and inside soffits. Ground nests are the most dangerous because there is no visible warning before you disturb one.
- Ground nests: often no visible nest, just a hole in the lawn or mulch
- Wall nests: entering through a crack in the siding, soffit or window frame
- Will chase and sting repeatedly, especially in late summer when colonies peak
- "Thousands of them everywhere but no nest" is almost always yellow jackets in the ground
Bald-Faced Hornets
Bald-faced hornets build large, enclosed grey paper nests, often football to basketball sized, in trees, on walls, and in hedges. They are extremely aggressive defenders and will attack in large numbers if the nest is disturbed. Do not approach a bald-faced hornet nest.
- Nest is large, grey and enclosed, hanging in a tree, on a wall or in a hedge
- Black with white markings on the face
- One of the most aggressive stinging insects in the region
European Hornets
Less common but significant. European hornets are large, active at night, and nest inside tree cavities, wall voids, under house extensions and in attics. If you hear loud buzzing in a wall or ceiling at night, it may be European hornets.
- Large, brown and yellow, active after dark
- Nest inside wall voids, tree roots, attics and hollow structures
- Chew through wood and drywall to expand nesting space
Dirt Daubers
Dirt daubers are solitary wasps that build small mud tubes on walls, under eaves, and inside garages. They are not aggressive and rarely sting, but the mud nests are unsightly and attract other wasps. We remove them as part of general wasp treatment.

Where We Find Nests in Georgetown Homes
Nearly every caller we get names a specific location. These are the most common nesting spots in Georgetown:
- Eaves and soffits: Eaves and soffits along the roofline, especially on the south and west-facing sides that get the most afternoon sun
- Window and door frames: Gaps in window frames, door frames and exterior trim — entry points that lead into wall cavities
- Under decks: Under decks, pergolas and outdoor staircases where nests are sheltered from rain
- Garages and outbuildings: Inside garages through gaps in the wall or roof, especially in detached garages with vented gable ends
- Ground and under walkways: In the ground, in mulch beds, or under concrete walkways — usually yellow jackets
- Trees and hedges: In trees and hedges near the property, especially bald-faced hornet nests
- Wall voids: Inside wall cavities accessed through cracks in siding or old vent openings
- Outdoor structures: In and around hot tubs, outdoor furniture and structures used infrequently
Height is not a barrier. We remove nests at ground level and at roofline height, including nests reported at 20 feet or higher.
Why Store-Bought Spray Rarely Solves It
"We've been battling this for a while and we just can't get rid of it." That is one of the most common things callers tell us.
- Store spray kills foragers near the nest but does not reach the queen or the brood inside. The colony rebuilds.
- Spraying at night risks disturbing the colony and triggering a mass sting response.
- Sealed wall nests cannot be reached with surface spray. The colony expands behind the wall.
- Yellow jacket ground nests are especially resistant because the colony runs deep underground.
- Partial treatment makes colonies relocate to a new spot on the same property.
Professional treatment reaches the nest directly, eliminates the queen, and treats the entry point to stop rebuilding.
How Our Georgetown Wasp and Hornet Removal Works
Identification and nest location
We identify the species and locate the nest, including hidden nests in wall cavities, attics and underground. The species determines the product and the approach.
Safe, targeted treatment
We treat the nest directly using products that eliminate the colony, including the queen, not just the workers flying outside. For wall and ground nests, we treat the entry point and the void.
Nest removal and entry sealing
We remove the nest structure where safe and accessible. For wall and soffit nests, we treat and seal the entry point so new colonies cannot move into the same space next season.
How long does wasp treatment take to work?
Most visible activity stops within a few hours. Colonies inside walls or underground may take 24 to 48 hours to fully clear as foragers return to the nest and contact the product. We advise staying away from the nest area for a few hours after treatment.

(737) 379-5045 — Same-Day Wasp RemovalWasp and Hornet Control Georgetown TX — FAQ
Can you come the same day to remove a wasp nest?
Yes, same-day service is available across Georgetown and Williamson County when you call early. Nests near entry points, allergic households, and large or aggressive colonies get priority scheduling. We answer calls seven days a week.
How do I know if I have yellow jackets or wasps?
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests you can usually see. Yellow jackets build enclosed nests, often underground or inside walls, with no visible structure, just a hole where they enter and exit. If you see thousands of insects but no obvious nest, it is almost certainly yellow jackets in the ground or a wall void.
Is it safe to stay in the house while you treat a wasp nest?
For exterior nests, yes. We treat from outside and you can stay indoors. For wall void or attic nests, we may ask you to keep clear of the treatment area for a few hours. We let you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Can wasps come back after the nest is removed?
In the same spot, rarely, if we seal the entry point. Wasps are attracted to previously used nesting sites, so sealing is important. New nests can appear elsewhere on the property each spring. A seasonal inspection or perimeter treatment keeps new colonies from establishing near your entry points.
I have a nest in my wall. What do you do?
We treat the entry point with a product that transfers through the colony as wasps enter and exit. This eliminates the colony inside the wall without requiring us to open the wall. We then seal the entry point so it cannot be reused. If the colony is very large, a follow-up may be needed after 48 hours.
Is wasp treatment safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use targeted products applied directly to the nest or entry point, not broadcast spraying across your yard. We advise keeping pets and children away from the treated nest area for a few hours. Once the area is clear and the product is dry, it is safe for normal use.
Do you remove dirt dauber nests?
Yes. Dirt daubers are not aggressive and rarely sting, but their mud nests on walls and garage surfaces attract other wasps looking for a ready-made location. We remove them as part of general wasp treatment.
What is the difference between a hornet and a wasp?
Hornets are a type of wasp, but larger and more aggressive. In Georgetown, the most common true hornet is the bald-faced hornet, which builds large enclosed grey nests in trees and on walls. European hornets are less common but larger still. Paper wasps and yellow jackets are the more frequent calls. All of them sting repeatedly and all need professional removal.
