One of the most common calls we receive involves Bald-Faced Hornets. Despite their name, Bald-Faced Hornets are actually a large species of aerial Yellowjacket rather than a true hornet.

They build distinctive paper nests in trees, shrubs, rooflines, utility structures, and under eaves. As colonies grow throughout the summer, they become increasingly defensive and may aggressively protect the nest when disturbed.

Where there is ONE there is many! We also remove Paper Wasp Nests and other nuisance stinging insects commonly found around homes and commercial properties. In many situations, these nests can be removed quickly and safely with minimal disruption to the property. If we are there already doing another service, we can go around the soffit box destroying any paper wasp nests that we can access.

Every hive and nest removal situation is unique. Some nests are easily accessible while others may be located inside structures, high in trees, or near heavily used portions of the property. Our technicians evaluate each situation individually and explain the available options before any work begins.

Yellowjackets are among the most aggressive stinging insects found in Georgia and are responsible for many sting-related service calls every year.

Unlike Bald-Faced Hornets and Paper Wasps, Yellowjackets commonly establish their colonies underground. These nests are frequently hidden in abandoned rodent burrows, landscape beds, retaining walls, tree root systems, mulch beds, and other concealed locations. Many homeowners do not realize a colony exists until they accidentally disturb it while mowing grass, trimming vegetation, gardening, blowing leaves, or simply walking through the yard.

A mature Yellowjacket Colony can contain thousands of workers capable of aggressively defending the nest. Because of this, attempting to remove an active colony without proper equipment can be dangerous.

Our Yellowjacket Removal Specialists are trained to identify activity, locate hidden nest entrances, and implement the most appropriate removal strategy based on the colony’s location and accessibility. In many cases, we can quickly eliminate the immediate threat while helping reduce future activity around the property.

Honeybees are extremely important pollinators and must be handled differently than Hornets, Wasps, and Yellowjackets.

Southern Wildlife Management is fully Certified for Honeybee Hive Relocation and specializes in structural Honeybee Removal, commonly referred to as Bee Cut-Outs. Whenever practical, our goal is to preserve and relocate healthy Honeybee Colonies rather than destroy them.

Honeybees frequently establish colonies inside wall voids, soffits, chimneys, fascia boards, sheds, barns, cabins, and other structural cavities. In many situations, the colony may continue growing for months or even years before the homeowner realizes it exists.

Unfortunately, many Honeybee Colonies are mistakenly sprayed by homeowners or companies that lack experience with Honeybee Removal. While killing the bees may appear to solve the immediate issue, the Honeycomb, Brood Comb, Wax, Pollen, and stored Honey often remain inside the structure.

When hive materials are left behind, they melt and decay, attracting ants, roaches, wax moths, mice, rats, and other opportunistic pests. Residual honey may also create severe odors, structural staining, moisture problems, and secondary damage.

For this reason, true Structural Honeybee Removal involves much more than simply treating the insects. Our operators locate the colony, carefully access the affected area, remove the bees and Honeycomb, and place qualifying colonies into temporary hive boxes for relocation to local beekeepers whenever practical. By removing both the colony and the associated hive materials, we permanently eliminate future risks within the structure.

Many people are surprised to learn that simply spraying a Honeybee Hive often creates a much larger and more expensive structural repair problem.

A dead colony left inside a wall may continue attracting secondary pests for months requiring Professional Pest Control intervention and Nuisance Wildlife Control Efforts. The Honeycomb can melt, collapse, stain drywall, attract rodents, and create odors that are incredibly difficult to eliminate. In some situations, residual pheromones will even attract new swarms back to the exact same location next season.

Whenever possible, we prefer to perform a complete Honeybee Hive Removal and Relocation rather than relying solely on pesticides. This comprehensive approach benefits both the property owner and the Honeybee Colony while preventing long-term structural issues.

Correct species identification is one of the most important parts of any hive removal project. Many homeowners refer to every flying, stinging insect as a bee, hornet, or wasp when in reality they may be dealing with Yellowjackets, Honeybees, Carpenter Bees, Paper Wasps, Bald-Faced Hornets, European Hornets, Bumblebees, or other specific species. Each requires an entirely different approach.

Our team has spent years handling stinging insect problems throughout North Georgia and deeply understands the behavioral differences between these species. This experience allows us to recommend the most appropriate solution while minimizing unnecessary treatments and avoiding costly structural mistakes.

We are fully licensed, insured, and committed to providing honest recommendations based on the actual species and situation involved.

Do You Remove Hornet Nests?

Yes. We provide professional Hornet Removal Services throughout North Georgia, including Bald-Faced Hornets and European Hornets. We identify the species involved and recommend the safest removal method based on the nest location.

Do You Remove Underground Yellowjacket Nests?

Yes. Yellowjackets commonly build nests underground and are one of the most common stinging insect problems we encounter. We can locate and remove active Yellowjacket Colonies throughout North Georgia.

Are Bald-Faced Hornets Actually Hornets?

No. Bald-Faced Hornets are technically a large species of aerial Yellowjacket rather than a true hornet. They are known for building large paper nests and aggressively defending the colony.

Can You Remove a Hive From Inside My Wall?

Yes. We specialize in Structural Honeybee Removal and Bee Cut-Outs. Honeybee Colonies commonly establish themselves inside walls, soffits, chimneys, and other structural cavities.

Are You Certified to Relocate Honeybees?

Yes. Southern Wildlife Management is Certified for Honeybee Hive Relocation and can relocate qualifying colonies whenever practical.

Why Shouldn’t I Simply Spray a Honeybee Hive?

Spraying often leaves the Honeycomb, Wax, Pollen, Brood Comb, and Honey inside the structure. These materials can attract Ants, Roaches, Mice, Rats, Wax Moths, and other pests while creating odor and moisture-related issues.

Do I Need To Be Home During the Service?

Not always. Many exterior Hornet, Wasp, and Yellowjacket removals can be completed without anyone present. Structural Honeybee Removals typically require coordination with the property owner because access to the structure is usually necessary.

How Do I Know If I Have Honeybees or Yellowjackets?

Honeybees are generally fuzzy and focused on collecting pollen, while Yellowjackets have a smoother appearance and are often attracted to food sources. If you are unsure, we can identify the species and recommend the appropriate solution.

Do You Service Commercial Properties?

Yes. We provide Hive Removal and Nest Removal Services for businesses, restaurants, schools, churches, HOA communities, farms, wineries, apartment communities, and other commercial properties throughout North Georgia.

What Should I Do If I Discover a Hive or Nest?

Avoid disturbing the colony and keep children, pets, and other people away from the area. Contact our office and we can discuss the situation, identify the likely species, and recommend the safest next steps.
