Safe, guaranteed wasp removal for Austin homes
Wasps are troublesome. They nest in areas that are likely to be disturbed by kids and pets, they bite and sting several times, and they're aggressive. If you suspect an infestation in or around your Austin home, it's time to engage in some proactive pest control measures.
Wasp stings are more dangerous than bee stings, and they're extremely risky for people with allergies. Wasps are very protective of their nests, so removing them by yourself is dangerous. It's always best to seek the help of a professional to eliminate them effectively.
At Stampede Pest Control, we use safe and effective wasp removal methods and ensure that all nests are gone. We also put measures in place to prevent them from coming back. If you have wasps, give us a call now for a free, immediate quote over the phone.
Quick answer
For wasp removal in Austin, don't knock down or spray an active nest during the day. The colony will defend it and scatter. Exposed paper wasp nests are best treated after dusk; yellowjacket nests in wall voids and high baldfaced hornet nests should be handled by a professional. Stampede removes nests, treats the void, and seals the entry points so they don't rebuild. Same-day service is available in most of the Austin area, and every wasp job is guaranteed.
What you should know about Austin wasps
Wasps are protective of their nests and dangerous to handle on your own. Here's how Stampede handles them safely.
Wasp behavior
Wasps immediately strike when threatened. Any form of disturbance makes them super aggressive, but their behavior depends on the species. Some are more aggressive, while others bite and sting even when they're not close to their nests. Adult wasps don't consume the prey they kill; they chop them up and carry the parts to their nest to feed their young. Wasps often build their nests in garages, sheds, edges of roofs, in trees, or even within your home.
Chemical-free treatment options
Several wasp removal companies in Austin, TX only offer harsh chemical treatments that kill the wasps, dousing homes in chemicals that aren't safe for your family or pets. At Stampede Pest Control, we use child- and pet-friendly “traditional” pest control chemicals and offer fully organic options.

How to prevent a wasp infestation
A few simple habits go a long way toward keeping wasps off your Austin property.
- Secure garbage can lids and keep them sealed.
- Don't leave anything outside that wasps could eat.
- Avoid overwatering your lawn and remove standing water sources.
- Wear darker colors outside: wasps are attracted to bright colors.
- Avoid wearing perfumes outside, since wasps are attracted to sweet smells.
- Seal potential entry points like attic vent screens to keep wasps from nesting inside your home.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the species, the size of the nest, and where it's built. An exposed paper wasp nest under a porch eave is a quick job; a yellowjacket colony inside a wall void or a baldfaced hornet nest high in a live oak takes more work and protective gear. Call us and we'll give you a free quote over the phone before anyone comes out.
In most cases, yes. We keep technicians working across Austin and the surrounding areas (Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Leander) so we can usually get someone to an active nest the same day or the next morning. If a family member has a sting allergy, tell us when you call and we'll prioritize it.
Paper wasps are by far the most common here. They build the open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, on porch ceilings, and along cedar fence rails. Yellowjackets nest in the ground and inside wall voids and are far more aggressive. Baldfaced hornets build the big enclosed grey nests in trees. Mud daubers leave clay tubes on walls but rarely sting.
We use child- and pet-friendly products and offer fully organic options. We'll talk through what we're applying and where, and we'll let you know when it's fine for kids and pets to be back in the treated area.
Wasps don't reuse an old nest, but a spot that drew a queen one spring tends to draw a new one the next. After we clear the nest we treat the location and point out the gaps in soffits, siding, and fascia where queens like to start. Sealing those after treatment is the most reliable way to keep them from rebuilding. Our wasp service is guaranteed.
