Wasp Nest Removal with Pest Control Atlanta
That papery nest tucked under your eave or hidden in your soffit isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a ticking time bomb housing 400 to 5,000 aggressive stinging insects ready to defend their colony. Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets establish nests in eaves, attics, wall voids, chimneys, and underground burrows.A single overwintering queen establishes colonies producing 200-400 workers by mid-summer, with populations doubling every 30 days. Pest Control Atlanta (PCA) combines science-backed wasp pest control methods with EPA-approved treatments that prioritize identification for proper wasp pest control. Unlike temporary DIY sprays that agitate colonies and increase sting risk, the PCA certified wasp exterminators locate active nests, eliminate populations safely, and seal entry points delivering complete eradication with a 90-day service guarantee. Professional wasp nest removal isn’t optional when stinging insects threaten your family’s safety, it’s essential protection.
Tips to Get Rid of Wasps Safely
Never Disturb Active Nests
Wasps release alarm pheromones when threatened, triggering mass defensive attacks from the entire colony.
Avoid Nighttime Flashlight Use
Light attracts wasps and disrupts their rest cycle, increasing aggression during removal attempts.
Skip Hardware Store Aerosols
These aerosols are designed for visible nests only; hidden colonies in wall voids and attics require professional treatment.
Don’t Seal Entry Points Prematurely
Trapping wasps inside wall voids forces them into the living space through light fixtures and vents.

Wasp Species We Treat in Atlanta, GA
Paper Wasp
Paper wasp nests are open resembling upside-down umbrellas, typically found under eaves, porch ceilings. They are 2-inch to 4-inch long with orange or yellow markings and long legs that hang down as they fly about. Treatment involves targeted nest removal using EPA-registered pyrethroids followed by entry point sealing.
Yellow Jacket
Yellow jackets and hornets build enclosed nests in underground burrows, wall voids, and attic spaces. Most wasps have narrow pinched waist and spindle-shaped abdomen with stinger, making identification critical before treatment. Elimination requires specialized void injection and colony extraction.
Bald-Faced Hornet
Large aerial nests (football-sized) suspended from trees, shrubs, and building overhangs identify this aggressive species. Gray papery exterior conceals 400+ workers. Professional removal uses protective suits, telescoping applicators, and complete nest extraction.
European Hornet
Nocturnal species attracted to exterior lighting, nesting in hollow trees, wall voids, and attic spaces near the chimney. Brown coloring with yellow abdominal stripes. Treatment includes light management, void treatment, and structural exclusion.
Cicada Killer Wasp
Solitary ground-nesting wasps creating burrows in lawns, flower beds, and sandy soil areas. Large size (1.5 inches) causes alarm despite low aggression. Management involves burrow treatment and soil modification.
Mud Dauber
Tube-shaped mud nests attached to walls, ceilings, and protected surfaces identify this solitary species. Low sting risk but nests indicate spider prey populations. Removal includes nest scraping and spider control.

Signs you need professional wasp pest control
Visible wasp activity near rooflines, eaves, and soffit areas during daylight hours signals active nest establishment; a single scout wasp indicates colony presence within 50 feet. Watch for wasps entering and exiting through gaps larger than ¼ inch around the chimney, utility penetrations, and soffit vents. The female wasp exponentially early spring to late fall represents peak activity when these wasps become increasingly defensive. Buzzing sounds within wall voids, attic spaces, or ceiling areas indicate hidden nests with access to the living space, creating serious sting risks. Never attempt DIY removal of established colonies; contact PCA, a licensed wasp pest control service for safe, effective elimination protecting your Atlanta property.
Our Wasp Nest Removal Process
Step 1: Property Inspection
Wasp exterminators conduct thorough assessments identifying entry points, nesting locations, and colony size. Thermal imaging and species identification detect hidden activity invisible to untrained eyes. Documentation includes flight patterns and attractant sources.
Step 2: Targeted Nest Elimination
EPA-registered insecticides deployed during optimal timeframes—evening for paper wasps, early morning for yellow jackets. Professional-grade aerosols, dusts, and foaming agents eliminate queens and worker castes. Treatment follows IPM principles meeting EPA safety standards.
Step 3: Physical Nest Removal
Once activity ceases (typically 48 hours post-treatment), technicians physically remove nest structures from attachment points. Removal includes cleaning staining and residue, followed by residual insecticide application deterring reconstruction.
Step 4: Exclusion & Prevention
All entry points gaps around pipes, soffit cracks, chimney openings, and utility penetrations are sealed using professional-grade materials. Residual barrier treatments applied to common nesting sites. Follow-up visits verify elimination success with 90-day guarantee.
