Yellowjacket Control in Kerrville, TX

Most of what you read online about yellowjacket is written by someone who's never set foot in Kerrville. The biology is roughly right, the treatment advice usually isn't — not for this soil, not for this kind of housing stock, not for the way yellowjacket actually nests here. Below is what we know from doing it, week in and week out. If you're short on time, skim the "where it shows up" section and call us.

Why yellowjacket matters in Kerrville #

Before we get into treatment, here's a minute on why Kerrville has the yellowjacket pressure it does. It matters because it changes the timing of what we do.

Yellowjackets are the biggest stinging insect problem we face in this area. If you see a nest of paper wasps, give us a call. But finding a yellowjacket ground nest while mowing can send you straight to the emergency room.

How we treat yellowjacket in Kerrville #

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 yellowjacket calls in Kerrville.

Yellowjackets require a different approach than paper wasps. The way they construct their nests and their aggressive nature sets them apart.
