Wasp & Hornet Control in East Texas
Professional Wasp and Hornet Removal for Homes and Businesses in Palestine
Wasps and hornets are among the most disruptive pests homeowners and business owners face throughout East Texas, especially during the warmer months when colonies grow quickly and become more aggressive. M&M Pest Control provides professional wasp and hornet control services designed to remove active nests safely and prevent new colonies from establishing on a property.
As a locally owned and family-operated pest control company, M&M Pest Control understands the wasp and hornet activity common throughout Anderson County and the surrounding East Texas region. Our technicians are trained to identify nest locations, assess the size and species of a colony, and apply removal methods that protect both the property and the people on it.
Common Wasps and Hornets in East Texas
East Texas is home to several wasp and hornet species that regularly build nests on residential and commercial properties, including paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald-faced hornets. Paper wasps typically build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, porch ceilings, and deck railings, while yellow jackets often nest in the ground or inside wall voids, making them harder to detect until activity increases.
Bald-faced hornets build large, enclosed paper nests in trees, shrubs, and sometimes on the sides of structures. Colonies from all three species tend to grow throughout the spring and summer, reaching peak size and aggression by late summer, which is when most homeowners in Palestine and surrounding communities begin noticing a problem.

The Risks of Wasp and Hornet Activity
Wasp and hornet stings can cause significant pain and, for individuals with allergies, a serious medical emergency. Unlike bees, wasps and hornets can sting repeatedly, and disturbing a nest, even unintentionally while mowing, trimming hedges, or opening a door, can result in multiple stings at once.
Nests built near entryways, porches, patios, and outdoor living spaces create an ongoing safety concern for families, guests, and employees. Ground-nesting yellow jackets present an additional hazard because their nests are often hidden until someone steps near the entrance, making professional identification and removal especially important.
Our Approach to Wasp and Hornet Removal
M&M Pest Control begins every wasp and hornet service with a careful inspection of the property to locate active nests, including less obvious locations such as wall voids, ground burrows, and dense shrubbery. Because provoking a colony can be dangerous, our technicians use professional-grade equipment and treatment methods designed to eliminate the nest with minimal disturbance to the colony beforehand.
Once a nest is treated, our team removes or addresses the structure when appropriate and inspects the surrounding area for satellite nests or additional colony activity. We also evaluate the property for conditions that tend to attract nesting wasps, such as exposed eaves, woodpiles, and unsealed entry points, and recommend treatment to help prevent new nests from forming in the same areas.
Residential Wasp and Hornet Control Services
Homeowners throughout Palestine and East Texas turn to M&M Pest Control when nests appear on porches, decks, playsets, or near entryways where family members and pets spend time outdoors. Our residential wasp and hornet services focus on both immediate nest removal and longer-term prevention, since these pests often return to the same nesting sites year after year if the underlying conditions are not addressed.
Homeowners dealing with recurring wasp activity each season often benefit from pairing nest removal with a routine pest control program, which includes exterior treatments designed to discourage new colonies from establishing around the home throughout the year.
Commercial Wasp and Hornet Control Services
Businesses throughout East Texas rely on M&M Pest Control to manage wasp and hornet activity around loading docks, outdoor seating areas, signage, and building exteriors. Nests in commercial settings create liability concerns for employees and customers alike, particularly for restaurants, schools, and offices with regular outdoor foot traffic.
Our commercial wasp and hornet programs include scheduled inspections designed to catch new nests early in the season, before colonies grow large enough to pose a serious risk to people on the property.
