How It Works

1

Free Inspection

A local Vector 1 technician walks your property, identifies activity, entry points and conducive conditions, then explains exactly what we recommend and why.

2

Custom Treatment Plan

We tailor the treatment to your home, your pests and the Central Texas season — never a one-size-fits-all spray.

3

Targeted Application

Pet and family mindful products applied to the right places — eaves, foundation, entry points, harborage areas and active runways — not blanketed across your home.

4

Follow-Up & Free Re-Treats

We schedule recurring service that matches the pest's life cycle. If pests come back between visits, so do we — at no charge.

Pricing Factors & What to Expect

Quoted per nest based on size, height, and accessibility. Larger aerial nests or nests inside wall voids involve more work than a standard accessible nest. Most hornet jobs are completed in a single visit. Call (512) 652-6300.

Service Duration: Most hornet nests are eliminated in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a hornet and a wasp?

Hornets are a type of large wasp. Bald-faced hornets are black and white and build large paper nests; European hornets are brown and yellow and nest in cavities.

Should I try to remove a hornet nest myself?

No. Hornets defend their nests aggressively and a disturbed colony can deliver dozens of stings within seconds.
