European Honey Bee Control in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX

We treat a lot of european honey bee in Fair Oaks Ranch. Not because it's rare — because it's everywhere once the weather turns, and most pest companies still try to spray it like it's just another wasp. It's not, and doing it wrong either makes the colony defensive or leaves it right where it was. This page is the short version of how we think about it, written so you can decide whether to call us, wait it out, or handle it yourself. All three are sometimes the right answer.
