We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to locate nests, identify the type of stinging insect, and understand the extent of the infestation. We also assess the factors attracting these pests, such as access to food or water, structural vulnerabilities, or ideal nesting spots. - Nest removal: After all bee hives or wasp nests are located, our expert technicians will use safe and effective tactics to remove them from the areas around your home or business. For bees, we prioritize humane and sustainable relocation whenever possible to support their role in pollination. For wasps and hornets, we deploy safe, proven techniques to eliminate nests without putting your household or pets at risk.
- Prevention services: Once treatment is complete, our bee, wasp, and hornet control technicians will work with you to decide which pest exclusion methods are right for you and your home.

Georgia’s Best Wasp and Hornet Removal
Do You Need a Bee, Wasp, or Hornet Exterminator?
Bees, wasps, and hornets generally aren’t a problem for homeowners unless they build their nests in your home or near a heavily trafficked area. Avoid getting too close to nests as it’s more likely to cause them to become aggressive and possibly sting. Never attempt to knock one down yourself. These insects are typically not aggressive unless they feel their nest is threatened, but having a hive or nest near high-traffic areas—like entryways, patios, or children’s play spaces—dramatically increases the likelihood of accidental disturbances.
This can lead to aggressive behavior and painful stings, posing risks not only to your comfort but also to your health.
For individuals allergic to stings, even one encounter can result in a severe reaction requiring immediate medical attention. Additionally, species like yellowjackets and hornets are known for their territorial nature and tendency to sting multiple times, escalating the danger.
If stinging insects have become a problem on your property, a professional hornet removal expert should be called.
Why You Should Call the Experts
Attempting to remove a nest on your own can be highly hazardous. Approaching or disturbing nests without the right equipment and expertise can provoke these insects, leading to swarms and stings. DIY removal methods often fail to address the problem fully, leaving hidden nests behind and creating opportunities for the insects to rebuild.
The wasp and bee control experts at Active Pest Control can come to inspect your property and carefully remove the stinging insects, keeping you and your family safe. Our hornet exterminators provide you with year-round pest control services to prevent future problems!
The Importance of Safe Bee, Wasp & Hornet Removal
As beneficial as they are for the environment, wasps and hornets can be dangerous when they nest near your property. Some species are more aggressive than others and will think nothing of stinging a perceived threat to protect themselves or their nest.
The Risks of Stings
Bees, wasps, and hornets sting when they feel threatened, and the venom they inject can cause varying levels of harm. For most people, a sting results in localized pain, swelling, and redness. However, for those allergic to insect venom, a sting can trigger an anaphylactic reaction, which may include difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, a rapid pulse, and even loss of consciousness.
Without immediate medical attention, these reactions can be fatal.
Hornets and wasps are especially aggressive species, capable of stinging multiple times. Unlike bees, which usually sting only once, hornets and wasps can repeatedly inject venom, increasing the severity of the attack.
Swarms from disturbed nests can deliver dozens of stings in moments, overwhelming anyone in the area and causing extreme pain and potential hospitalization.
Other Health Concerns of Stinging Insects
Beyond the physical danger of stings, stinging insects nesting around your home can lead to other health risks:
- Contaminated Food or Drinks: Wasps and hornets are often drawn to sugary drinks and food, making outdoor meals hazardous. Accidental ingestion or swarming can lead to painful encounters.
- Aggressive Behavior: Species like yellowjackets are particularly territorial, becoming hostile even without direct disturbance. Their nests near entryways or gardens can lead to frequent and dangerous interactions.
- Stress and Anxiety: Knowing stinging insects are nesting nearby can create anxiety and fear for you and your family, especially if there are young children or vulnerable individuals in the home.
If a severe reaction occurs medical attention needs to be sought as quickly as possible. For these reasons, it’s imperative to always call a wasp exterminator to take care of any stinging insect problem you may have.
