How we treat european hornet in Kerrville #

What we actually do on a european hornet job in Kerrville 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.

If we ever found a European hornet nest in our area (which is pretty unlikely), we’d handle it like we do with bald-faced hornets in hidden spots. We’d use a dust formulation applied at the nest entry point during dusk or dawn. We’d wear a full bee suit with sealed eye protection. After that, we’d wait 24-48 hours before removing the nest and keep an eye on the area afterward.
