Wasp & Hornet Removal in Aubrey, TX

Frequently not. Several species around Aubrey keep a second nest concealed in a wall void, soffit or ground cavity while the visible one sits somewhere obvious like a porch corner. Removing the one you can see and leaving the other is exactly why people keep getting stung afterwards. The search happens before anything comes down, not instead of it.

You can, and people do, but it is the part of the job that puts you closest to a colony that is now agitated. The bigger issue is that knocking a nest off an Aubrey wall leaves the cavity open and attractive, so something builds there again the following year. Removal and closing the void are the same job.

To the same cavity, often yes, because what attracted the first colony is still there. A gable vent or weep hole that suited one queen suits the next. That is why the work on an Aubrey house includes screening and sealing the opening rather than simply taking the nest away and leaving the address on the list for next spring.

Around Aubrey most of what people call hornets are paper wasps or yellowjackets, and the treatment differs between them. Paper wasps build the open combs you see under eaves. Yellowjackets often nest in the ground or a wall void and are considerably more defensive. A technician identifies it on arrival, because approaching the second kind like the first goes badly.

Quickly, because an active nest near a door or a play area is treated as urgent rather than routine. Say when you book that it is close to somewhere people pass, and it moves up the list. Treatment usually happens at a time of day when the colony is least active, which is safer for whoever is doing it.

Both where it can be reached. Treatment first so the colony is no longer defending it, then removal of the structure itself and closing whatever cavity it was built into. Leaving a treated nest in place looks finished and is not, because the material stays attractive to the next queen and the opening that allowed it is still sitting there unaddressed.

Keep doors and windows on that side closed, keep children and animals indoors for the treatment itself, and point out anywhere else you have seen activity before work starts. That last one matters more than most people expect, because a second nest that nobody mentioned is the usual reason somebody has to come back out again a week later.
