Bees and wasps serve a critical role in nature by pollinating plants and flowers. That said, people usually don't want hives or nests near entryways, patios, and eaves, especially if anyone in their household is allergic to stings. ABC pest control services include wasp extermination and bee removal in Houston. Homeowners trust the trained and knowledgeable technicians at ABC Home & Commercial Services to lower the chances of a painful encounter with these stinging insects.

Identifying the Proper Pest Control Services After Spotting a Nest

Spotting a bee or wasp on your property may indicate these insects nest in and around your home. It can be challenging to determine what type of pest you’re dealing with since they often share similar characteristics. After an initial pest inspection, our highly trained technicians will recommend a course of action to address your specific needs.

Services we can provide include:

Expert Wasp Control 

Texas is also home to many types of wasps, including paper, yellow jackets, hornets, cicada killers, mud daubers, and Mexican honey wasps. Wasps tend to make their homes underneath overhangs, so you can often find evidence of nests under eaves, porches, decks, and around wall cavities, bird boxes, sheds, and garages.

Removing nests on your own may seem like the most straightforward form of wasp control, but it can be potentially dangerous if you or a family member is allergic to a wasp’s painful sting.

The ABC Process

Step 1: Contact ABC

When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.

Step 2: Get An Estimate

If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.

Step 3: Treatment

We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.

Step 4: Prevention

Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.

At ABC, we recognize both your need to keep your family and pets free of painful stings and the important ecological role of pollinators. That’s why we make every effort to relocate bee colonies to areas that are better suited for both humans and these important insects. Our concern for the environment extends to  your home , and that means only using low-impact products.

We offer a full range of pest control services.

In some cases, we may not be able to remove bees from your property without killing them. If the location of the hive makes the bees impossible to remove, or if the risk that these stinging insects pose to your family is immediate, we may recommend a bee kill treatment. In such cases, we will let you know and leave the decision up to you before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can you come out?

We understand that once you see bees or wasps in and around your home, you want the problem taken care of immediately. Give us a call and we will send a pest control expert to your home as soon as possible to inspect your property and recommend a course of action.

Can I remove bees on my own?

We learn at a very young age that it can be very dangerous to disturb a bee or wasp nest. Bee and social wasp species use alarm pheromones to send a chemical signal to the rest of the colony to attack if they feel a threat is imminent. Avoid the risk of painful stings by calling in the experts at ABC to handle bee removal or wasp control.

How does the bee removal process work?

Once our pest control experts survey your property and locate a hive, we will use our Bee-Vac to suck the live bees out of their nesting spots. Then, we remove all viable honeycombs and nest sites. Live bees are transported, unharmed, from your home to a remote location. Then, we seal the entry point to the colony to ensure that bees no longer choose your property as a nesting spot.

What if I still see bees and wasps after a treatment?

It is not unusual to see an increase in activity as we apply treatments which drive these flying insects out of their normal hiding spots. This increase is only temporary.

If we remove an entire hive, we guarantee that you will not see bee activity in that spot for one year. If you do continue to see bees at the spot of removal within a year, we will return to take care of the problem, at no cost to you.

“ABC is top notch. They came out right away to inspect for an estimate and offered a very thorough explanation as to what needed to be done to fix our issues. They provided our service the very next day and worked in the rain and in the dark, making sure that nothing was left undone before they left. I feel comfortable that they have taken care of our problem and I can sleep better tonight. Christopher was so great! Thank you ABC! I feel really good about our decision in choosing you to take care of our home moving forward!”

He also went the second mile to help solve the small issues that arise when this type of work is performed. My wife and I are very happy with our beautiful new backyard which came at a fair price.”
