Why Choose Professional Hornet & Wasp Removal?
Attempting DIY hornet or wasp control can be dangerous and costly. Never allow anyone to simply spray the entrance with pesticides – it may only drive hornets deeper into your structure, making the problem worse. Our hornet removal experts use cutting-edge detection technology to pinpoint the hive location, limit the number of access points, and safely eliminate the infestation.

BALD-FACED HORNET REMOVAL
Bald-Faced Hornets, sometimes described as the Black & White hornets, build large, gray, paper-like nests that often hang from trees, eaves, or doorways. These aggressive hornets station guards to defend the colony, and once disturbed, the entire nest can attack within seconds.
Unlike many pest control companies, we do not simply spray the hive and run away hoping the pesticide reaches the queen. Our approach is precise: we contain the entire hive, queen, nest, and developing pupae, and remove them all in one safe process.
Any hunters that were out foraging at the time of removal will return to find the hive gone. The number of hunters (usually a ½ dozen or so) depends on the size of the hive, but they are disoriented without their queen or nest and much less aggressive. They may linger for a few days, but the entire problem is resolved within a week as the remaining hornets either leave or die off naturally.
YELLOWJACKET HIVE REMOVAL
Yellowjackets are notorious for their aggression and ability to sting repeatedly. We typically encounter two types of colonies in North Georgia:
- In-Ground Yellowjacket Hives (Dig-Outs): These nests are excavated completely through a dig-out process. We remove the entire colony and hive material from the ground to ensure they cannot rebuild.
- Wall or Void Yellowjacket Hives (Cut-Outs): When yellowjackets nest inside walls, ceilings, or structural voids, we perform a cut-out removal. This involves opening the structure, extracting the hive and queen, and sealing the entry points to prevent future infestations.
Both processes require specialized equipment and experience to perform safely. Disturbing either type of yellowjacket colony can unleash hundreds of stings in seconds, which is why professional removal is the safest and most effective solution.

The State of Georgia now requires all companies to be Certified for Honeybee Hive Removal. Gone are the days where pest control companies were allowed to spray pesticides and kill an entire colony — and thank goodness!

TOP FAQ’s FOUND & ANSWERED REGARDING HORNET NEST, HONEYBEE HIVES, ETC.
Q) What’s the difference between a hornet nest, yellowjacket hive, and a honeybee hive?
Hornet nests are typically large and papery, built above ground. Yellowjacket hives are often hidden underground. Honeybee hives are wax-based and usually found in cavities like walls or tree hollows.
Q) How can I tell if I have hornets, yellowjackets, or honeybees?
Hornets are larger and build visible paper nests. Yellowjackets are aggressive and nest in the ground. Honeybees are fuzzy and less aggressive, often found near flowers or inside walls.
Q) Is it dangerous to remove a wasp or hornet nest myself?
Yes, attempting removal without protective gear or training can result in multiple stings and severe allergic reactions. Always contact a licensed professional.
Q) Can yellowjackets and hornets sting more than once?
Yes, unlike honeybees, both yellowjackets and hornets can sting repeatedly and are extremely aggressive when defending their nest.
Q) Are honeybees protected by law?
Yes, in many areas, honeybees are protected. They must be removed alive by a licensed beekeeper or a certified bee removal expert—not exterminated.
Q) Who should I call for safe removal of a honeybee hive?
Contact a licensed wildlife or pest control specialist with honeybee removal certification or a local beekeeper experienced in live removals.
Q) How much does hornet or yellowjacket nest removal cost?
Removal typically ranges from $175 to $350 depending on nest size, location, and accessibility. Emergency or high-risk removals may cost more.
Q) Can honeybee hives cause structural damage to homes?
Yes, honeybee hives inside walls or roofs can cause damage due to melting wax, honey leakage, stains, and long-term attraction of ants or pests.
Q) Can hornets or yellowjackets damage my home?
Yes. They can chew through drywall, soffits, and even electrical components when nesting indoors. Their presence also deters use of outdoor spaces.
Q) How do I prevent hornets and yellowjackets from nesting again?
Seal cracks, install fine mesh over vents, remove outdoor food sources, and schedule annual inspections in spring and summer.
Q) What time of year is best for removing a hornet or yellowjacket nest?
Early summer is ideal when nests are smaller and easier to remove. Later in the season, nests are larger and wasps are more aggressive.
Q) Are stings from yellowjackets or hornets dangerous?
Yes. Stings can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Multiple stings are especially dangerous for children and pets.
Q) Can you remove a hive from inside a wall or attic?
Yes, professionals can safely extract hives from walls, ceilings, attics, or chimneys using thermal imaging and structural access techniques.
Q) What happens to honeybees after they are removed?
Licensed professionals relocate them to local apiaries or beekeepers where they can continue pollinating and producing honey.
Q) Do you offer same-day or emergency hornet nest removal?
Yes, most professional wildlife services offer same-day or emergency removal for aggressive wasp or hornet nests near homes or play areas.
