Why Southlake homes choose Forterra for wasps and hornets
Covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and pool-house eaves put paper wasps right where a Southlake family spends its evenings, and tall rooflines put other nests well beyond a household ladder. Forterra brings extendable poles for the high ones, treats any time of day, and tells you before starting if a soffit return or ground nest adds a charge. Texas Pest Control License TPCL #850046, with the Zero Gap System™ on gaps that need it.

Why Wasps and Hornets Thrive in Southlake
Southlake homes put people and wasps in the same place. Outdoor kitchens, covered patios, pergolas and pool areas are exactly where paper wasps like to build, which is why the calls here tend to be urgent rather than routine. High and complex rooflines also mean nests that are genuinely awkward to reach, and reaching them is part of the job you are asking us to do.
We remove rather than relocate. Paper wasps hang their open combs under patio covers and pergola beams, while yellowjackets dig into the mulch near the pool, and Southlake homeowners usually notice both by midsummer. October brings a second wave indoors, as queens push into attics and soffits hunting for somewhere warm to overwinter. Quarterly visits catch new nests around the patio structures while they are still small.

"Seth did a great job getting rid of my ants and wasp nests."
"Freddy did a great job with the initial visit to stop our palmetto bugs and various ants throughout our garden. He closed entry points and sprayed the entire house from outside and inside, as well. They also treated for wasps, spiders, and mosquitoes, which we had problems with all of them. The even booked a follow up for 1 week and they have already confirmed the appointment and checked on the activity with us. I'm very optimistic that the issue will be completely eradicated."
"Awesome job Christian as always. That was a hughe relief to know you found the wasp nest! Thanks for showing it to us ;-)"
"Cesar did a great job- great communications and wasps are now under control."
How Our Southlake Exterminators Treat Wasps and Hornets
Southlake properties put the nest and the people in the same few square feet. Patio structures, pergolas and pool-house eaves hold most of them, and reaching them is part of the job.
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.

Warm fixtures shelter early-season queens; a classic surprise two feet from your door.

Our Wasp & Hornet Removal Process in Southlake
We remove rather than relocate. Where a nest sits above ladder height or inside a soffit return, we explain the job before starting. Ground nests in landscaped beds can carry a surcharge set on site.
- 01
Transparent quote
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.
Southlake Wasp & Hornet Removal FAQ
These answers cover high nests, finding hidden ones, doing it yourself, repeat nesting and response time.
Usually, and the height is precisely the reason to hand it over. On a Southlake house with several roof planes the nests tend to go where nobody on a household ladder should be, and the one you can see from the terrace is often the smaller of two working the same roof at once. We find both of them.
By looking at where they are flying rather than where they are landing. Watching the approach line usually leads to a soffit, a gable void or a gap at a roofline junction. On a larger Southlake house there are a good many of those, which is why the search comes before anyone treats or takes down anything at all.
You can, carefully, with a wasp spray and plenty of distance between you and the nest. On a Southlake roof, though, the nests usually sit well above a household ladder, and that is where our extendable poles do the job from the ground. Knocking one down yourself also leaves the spot open for another nest, since wasps return year after year.
Very likely. No treatment stops next year's queens from scouting the same eaves, and a vent or soffit gap that suited one colony suits the next. Sealing the obvious openings helps a little, but recurring visits are the real answer on a Southlake house, catching each new nest while it is still small.
Paper wasps or yellowjackets, in nearly every Southlake case, whatever people call them. Paper wasps hang open combs under an eave and largely ignore anyone below. Yellowjackets go into a void or into the ground and defend it with real determination. Your exterminator confirms the species before anybody approaches, because the two need entirely different handling on the day.
Promptly. A live nest near a door, a pool or a play area goes to the front of the line rather than into the routine schedule. Tell us on the call how close it is to where people walk. Any hour of the day suits the treatment, so nobody waits for dusk.
Both, in a single step. Your exterminator treats the nest and brings it down from the ground with an extendable pole wherever the height allows. Some staining can remain where it hung, because removal is not cleaning, and a ground nest or soffit void may carry an added charge decided on site.
Close the windows and doors on that side, keep children and animals inside during the work, and mention any other activity you have spotted before it starts. People routinely leave that last part out, and an unmentioned second nest on a Southlake property is the usual reason somebody has to return the following week to finish.
