How we treat asian giant hornet ("murder hornet") in Fair Oaks Ranch #
What we actually do on a asian giant hornet ("murder hornet") job in Fair Oaks Ranch depends on three things: where the nest is, how old the building is, and what the family situation looks like. Ground nest on a lot with young kids and a dog gets treated very differently than an aerial nest in an empty guest house. We'll talk that through on site.
