One nest within reach
From the ground or a short ladder.
Wasp, hornet and yellowjacket nests
A nest on the house? We can be there today.
We treat nests at dusk, when the whole colony is home. Call before 3 p.m. and a truck comes that day. Text a photo first if you want to know what you are looking at.
Same-day visits
Call before 3 p.m., and a truck comes today.
Monday to Saturday, we are at your door by 8 p.m. the same day. If both trucks are out, we say so on the call and book the first visit the next morning.
Call-out fee: flat, quoted when you call. It covers the drive, a look at the nest and a written price. If you book the treatment at that visit, the fee comes off the job.
What we treat
The nests we are called for
Most calls in San Antonio are one of these. If it is something else, text a photo and we will say.
Paper wasps and red wasps
Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, railings and light fixtures.
Wasps and hornetsYellowjackets
Nests in the ground, or inside a wall, soffit or attic. Often found by the traffic at one small hole.
YellowjacketsMud daubers
Tube-shaped mud nests on walls and under decks. They rarely sting, and we tell you when to leave them.
Nests inside the house
Wasps getting in through a vent, a gap at the roofline or a chimney cap, with a nest in the void.
How a visit goes
From your call to a quiet nest
The first visit looks at the nest and writes the price. Treatment happens at dusk, or at first light in the cooler months.
- 01By 3 p.m.
Step 1: You call or text a photo
Before 3 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and a truck is booked for today. Send a photo from a distance; do not get close for a better one.
- By 8 p.m.
Step 2: A truck comes and looks
We find the nest, check the opening and any other nests nearby, and write the price before we do anything else.
- At dusk
Step 3: We treat at dusk
Wasps are all home and slow at dusk. We work with a red light, which wasps do not see well, and a licensed applicator follows the product label.
- Next morning
Step 4: The nest comes down
Where we can reach it safely, we take the nest down once it is quiet. The next morning we text to ask how it looks.
Until we arrive
What to do, and what not to do, while you wait
General advice for the hours before a visit. We will tell you what applies to your nest when we call back.
| Do | Do not | |
|---|---|---|
| Near the nest | DoKeep doors and windows near it closed, and keep people and pets inside. | Do notStand under it, watch it, or let children play nearby. |
| The nest itself | DoLeave it alone. A disturbed nest is defended. | Do notKnock it down, spray it from the ground, or block the hole it uses. |
| Yard work | DoSkip mowing and trimming near the nest until we have been. | Do notRun a mower, blower or hedge trimmer close to it. |
| The photo | DoTake it from across the yard, or through a window, and text it. | Do notGo closer for a sharper picture. |
| A sting | DoMove inside. If anyone has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or feels faint, call 911. | Do notWait and see with a known allergy or a reaction that is spreading. |
How it is priced
How each kind of nest is priced
The kind of nest and where it is decide the number. You get the price in writing at the visit, before any treatment.
Nests on the outside
Paper wasps, red wasps, hornets and mud daubers on eaves, fences, trees and fixtures.
One nest up high
A roofline, gable or two-story eave.
Each added nest
On the same visit, at the same address.
Ground and hidden nests
Yellowjackets below the lawn, or a nest inside a wall, soffit or attic.
One ground nest
One entrance, treated at dusk.
A nest inside a wall or attic
Treating the void. The wall is not opened.
Every job includes the dusk treatment, taking the nest down where we can reach it safely, and a text the next morning. Closing an opening in the house, such as a vent or a gap at the roofline, is separate and quoted on its own.

Arcelia Alarcon takes the calls, writes the prices and drives one of the two trucks. Jaden Pittman drives the other.
Calls before 3 p.m. get a same-day visit, Monday to Saturday.
When both trucks are booked, you hear it from a person, not a form.
One flat call-out fee, stated up front, and a written price before any treatment.
Stinging insects only. We do not take on ants, roaches or rodents, and we say who to call.

Questions
Before you call
How much does it cost?
A flat call-out fee covers the drive, a look at the nest and a written price. The job price depends on the kind of nest and where it is, and you read it before we treat. If you book the treatment at the visit, the call-out fee comes off the job.
Can you really come the same day?
Yes, Monday to Saturday, when you call before 3 p.m. We have two trucks. If both are booked, we tell you on the call and book the first visit the next morning.
Why do you treat at dusk?
The whole colony is back at the nest, and wasps are slower and less likely to leave it. In the cooler months we may come at first light instead.
What about my kids and pets?
We tell you which areas to keep them away from, and for how long, before we leave. Licensed applicators follow the product label. Ask for the product name and we will read it to you.
Will wasps come back?
Some wasps that were away from the nest can return to it for a day or two. Wasps can also build a new nest nearby later. We tell you what to watch for.
Do you take down bee hives?
No. Honey bees are not ours to treat. We will tell you who to call.
