How we treat european hornet in Leon Springs / The Dominion / 78257
Here's how the job actually runs on a european hornet call in Leon Springs / The Dominion / 78257. We start with a free look — no quote over the phone, because we can't tell what we're dealing with until we see it. Our tech pulls up, walks the property, finds the nest (not always where the customer thinks it is), and we have a five-minute conversation about options before anything gets sprayed.
For the actual situation we encounter — homeowner reports of "giant hornets" or "European hornets" in San Antonio or Boerne — the correct treatment approach is identification first. Most of the time, what the customer is describing is a native species (cicada killer, paper wasp queen, carpenter bee). The treatment for the actual species present is what we provide. Telling a customer "you have European hornets" when they actually have cicada killers leads to incorrect expectations and ineffective treatment.
