Wasp, Hornet and Bee Removal in Round Rock
Wasp or hornet nest: $325 to $450
Wasp and hornet nest removal in Round Rock runs $325 to $450. Honeybees are a different job, and live colonies go to a beekeeper.
Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets
- Paper wasps build open-cell nests under eaves, porch ceilings, the play set and the grill cover.
- Yellowjackets nest in the ground or in a wall void and get aggressive late in the season.
- Mud daubers leave mud tubes on the siding and rarely sting.
The applicator treats the nest, usually early or late in the day when the wasps are home, then knocks it down. Wall voids get dusted at the entrance; never plug the hole first, or they chew their way inside the house.
Honeybees
Live honeybee colonies go to a beekeeper. In Texas a beekeeper removing bees needs a current registration with the Texas Apiary Inspection Service, which lists registered beekeepers who do removals. Africanized honeybees have been in Texas since 1990, so a colony that is defensive or cannot be moved safely is treated by a licensed applicator and the comb taken out.
A swarm hanging in a tree is bees on the move and often leaves within a day or two. A colony that has moved into a wall, a soffit or a water meter box is the one that needs removal, and the comb has to come out too or it melts, draws other pests and attracts the next swarm.
If bees are chasing people, get inside and call 911. For a nest on the eave or bees going in and out of a wall, call (737) 302-5432 in Round Rock and across Williamson County.
