Bees, Wasps & Hornets — Control & Prevention in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
A wasp nest over the front door or a yellow jacket colony in the ground can turn everyday tasks — mowing, grilling, getting the mail — into a hazard, especially for anyone with sting allergies. Different stinging insects call for very different handling: yellow jackets defend ground nests aggressively, hornets build high, carpenter bees bore into decks and fascia boards, and honey bees deserve protection, not extermination.
Forsyth Exterminating identifies exactly what you're dealing with and resolves it safely. Nuisance wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are treated and removed; carpenter bee damage is addressed at the source; and when honey bees are involved, we handle them responsibly.
Signs You Have a Stinging Insect Problem
- Paper nests under eaves, decks, or playsets
- Steady insect traffic into a hole in the ground or wall void
- Round holes and sawdust under wooden rails (carpenter bees)
- Aggressive behavior when you approach an area of the yard
How We Solve It
Identify the insect
Wasp, hornet, yellow jacket, carpenter bee, or honey bee — identification determines the safe, correct response.
Safe removal
With professional equipment and protective gear, we treat and remove nests, including hard-to-reach and in-wall colonies.
Damage control
For carpenter bees, we treat galleries and advise on sealing and repainting to prevent re-boring.
Prevention
Ongoing service catches new nests while they're still the size of a golf ball.
Keep Them From Coming Back
- Seal wall and soffit gaps before spring nesting
- Paint or seal exposed wood to deter carpenter bees
- Keep trash and sweet drinks covered outdoors
- Check play equipment and railings early each season

Bees, Wasps & Hornets FAQs
Do you exterminate honey bees?
We treat honey bees responsibly — they're vital pollinators. When bees have colonized a structure, we'll walk you through the right removal path rather than simply spraying the colony.
Why shouldn't I knock down a wasp nest myself?
Wasps and yellow jackets defend nests in force — and yellow jacket ground nests can hold thousands of insects. Professional treatment neutralizes the colony before removal, without the emergency-room risk.
Carpenter bees keep coming back to my deck. Why?
They return to old galleries year after year. Treating the tunnels and then sealing and painting the wood breaks the cycle.
