Red Wasp Control in San Antonio, TX

Short version: if there's a red wasp nest on your property in San Antonio, we can get out there and take care of it — usually same-day, sometimes next morning if the call comes in late. Longer version is on this page. We'll walk through how to tell it's actually red wasp you're looking at (about a third of our red wasp calls turn out to be a look-alike), what's making it show up on your property right now, and what we'll do when we get there.

San Antonio's stinging insect activity lasts almost all year. Our mild winters allow honey bee colonies to remain active, and indoor yellowjacket populations can thrive as well.

A few things we won't do: we won't spray from 20 feet and call it done, we won't sell you a six-month contract for a problem that's going to resolve in three weeks anyway, and we won't recommend treatment if what you've got is harmless. That last one happens more often than you'd think with red wasp calls in San Antonio.
