Why Aubrey homes choose Forterra for wasps and hornets
Barns, run-ins and tack rooms give wasps undisturbed rafters on Aubrey acreage, and yellowjackets dig into banks and around fence posts across open ground. New brick adds open gable vents and weep holes they find within a season. Forterra tells you which outbuildings to include, treats nests whenever you call, and seals openings with the Zero Gap System™ where that helps. Licensed TPCL #850046.
Forterra Aubrey.
On new Aubrey homes, wasps and hornets favor weep holes and gable vents left open, and the Aubrey office screens those once the nest is gone.

Why Wasps and Hornets Thrive in Aubrey
On Aubrey acreage the wasp problem spreads across every outbuilding, not just the house. Barns, workshops, run-in sheds and equipment stores all give sheltered space to build, and on acreage a nest can be well established before anyone goes into that corner of the building. Open land also means more ground nesting, in banks, around posts and in undisturbed edges.
Ground nests are the ones worth flagging in advance. They carry a surcharge decided on site, because the work depends entirely on where the nest sits and what is around it, and nobody can price that over the phone. We take nests down instead of relocating them, and where a property has several structures, we name the ones that belong in the job.

"Casey recently came out to do the quarterly maintenance. He is professional and got the work done efficiently. I asked him to come back to handle a wasp issue in my shed, he came back and handled it very quickly. Forterra has excellent customer service, and the as needed spot treatments included in the price of the quarterly treatments are great."
"Parker the technician was great! He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. He took care of my wasp problem and did everything he could to prevent another wasp s nest and perimeter spraying. Was very happy with his service!"
"We finally saw one wasp yesterday. Thanks for taking care of of that Hugh problem for us. We don’t mind a few sharing the space, but a pool party was out of the question! We appreciate you!"
"Excellent service. I am very pleased with the job , I have not seen one bug or spider. I had quite a few inactive wasps nest, knocked them all down and cleaned up the nest so my dogs did get into them."
How Our Aubrey Exterminators Treat Wasps and Hornets
Out here wasps are an outbuilding problem as much as a house problem. Barns, run-ins and equipment stores give sheltered space, and undisturbed banks and posts suit ground nesters.
Treat nest
The nest is the colony. It comes down at any time of day.
We treat and knock down the nest whenever we are on site, no waiting for dusk, with extendable poles doing the high work from a distance. Aggressive species like yellow jackets occasionally change the scheduling; most jobs do not.
Remove comb
Leftover comb invites next spring's queens back.
The comb comes down with the colony. Some residue and staining stays on the surface, we remove nests, not finishes, and what matters is that the anchor point is gone.
Repeat as needed
Wasps are not preventable. They will be back.
No treatment stops next season's queens from scouting your eaves, which is exactly why wasp work lives inside the quarterly plan. Every visit checks and treats the corners they favor, and re-services between visits are free.
Where Wasps and Hornets Show Up Around Aubrey Homes
A nest in the rafters of a barn nobody has been into since spring, and yellowjackets working a bank near a fence post.
- 01
Eaves and soffits
The paper wasp's first choice, sheltered, warm and out of the rain. Checked and treated every visit.
- 02
Gable vent
A broken screen here means wasps in the attic void, a removal job rather than a knockdown.
- 03
Fascia and gutter line
Starter nests tuck behind gutters in April, golf-ball sized and easy to end early.
- 04
Porch light and fixtures
Warm fixtures shelter early-season queens; a classic surprise two feet from your door.
- 05
Window frames
Mud daubers line brick lintels and frames with tubes; scraped and treated on the pass.
- 06
Weep holes
Yellow jackets nest inside wall voids through open weeps; screened, never sealed shut.

Our Wasp & Hornet Removal Process in Aubrey
We remove rather than relocate, and on a property with several structures we say which are in the job. Ground nests carry a surcharge set on site, since the work depends on where the nest sits.
- 01

Call with a nest over the porch and the office prices it on the spot; the online tool does the same in about sixty seconds. We flag ground nests or wall voids that need more before work starts.
- 02
First-visit inspection
We check eaves, trees, play sets, wall voids and the ground. The technician identifies what built each nest, since paper wasps and hornets carry different risk levels.
- 03
Treat and remove
We treat colonies with proper equipment, physically remove the nests, and give known nest sites protective treatment.
- 04
Guaranteed results
We knock down new nests between visits at no charge on the plan. The money-back guarantee covers the rest, and October rebuilders are exactly why coverage stays year-round.
Aubrey Wasp & Hornet Removal FAQ
These answers explain repeat nesting on new houses, hidden nests, doing it yourself, response time and removal.
New brickwork leaves weep holes along the base and gable vents that are often unscreened, and wasps find both within a season. On an Aubrey build these are not damage, they are how the builder constructed the wall. Add eaves with very little weathering yet and you have sheltered, undisturbed cavities within easy reach of open country full of food.
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, carefully, keeping your distance and using a wasp spray. The risk climbs with height and with yellowjackets, which defend hard, and that is where our extendable poles take over from the ground. Knocking it down will not stop wasps from returning next year, so the quarterly plan is what covers the next nest.
Often, because what attracted the first colony is still there, and wasps return to good sites year after year. Screening a gable vent or weep hole on an Aubrey house narrows the options, but it will not stop a determined queen. That is why the quarterly plan treats new nests as they appear rather than promising a wasp-free 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. Your exterminator identifies it on arrival, because approaching the second kind like the first goes badly.
Quickly, because we treat an active nest near a door or a play area as urgent rather than routine. Say when you book that it is close to somewhere people pass, and it moves up the list. Treatment can happen at any time of day, so nobody holds the visit back for dusk.
Both, as a single step, wherever your exterminator can reach it. Your exterminator sprays the nest and brings it down, using extendable poles on barn rafters and high eaves. Removal does not include cleaning, so a mark can remain on the wood or brick, and a nest in the ground may cost extra, decided on the day.
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.
