Wasp & Hornet Control
in NE Georgia
Same-day service in most cases. We remove the nest before someone gets stung.
Wasp & Hornet Control You Can Count On
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets turn a backyard into a hazard fast, and for anyone with a sting allergy they are a genuine emergency. Northeast Georgia sees heavy stinging-insect activity from late spring through fall: paper wasps under eaves, bald-faced hornets in trees, mud daubers on walls, and yellow jackets nesting in the ground where a lawnmower or footstep can set off the whole colony.
Kilz Pest Control locates and treats every active nest safely, including the ground nests that are easy to miss, and we time treatments for early morning when colonies are least active. Once the colony is down we take the nest off your house, because a dead nest hanging over the front door is not a finished job. We are licensed and locally owned, serving homes and businesses across the region.
A stinging insect problem is not something to sit on a waiting list for, so we treat these as emergencies. Call (706) 754-6248 and in most cases we can be out the same day. If someone in your home has a sting allergy, or the nest sits over a door, walkway, or play area, say so when you call and you go to the front of the schedule.

Common Stinging Insects We Treat
Catching a problem early makes treatment faster, cheaper, and less disruptive.
Paper wasp nests under eaves
Open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, soffits, and porch ceilings are paper wasps, aggressive when their nest is disturbed.
Yellow jackets in the ground
A steady stream of yellow jackets coming from a hole in the lawn or a wall void signals a hidden, fast-growing colony that can number in the thousands.
Bald-faced hornet nests
Large gray, football-shaped nests in trees or on structures belong to bald-faced hornets, which defend their nest aggressively.
Mud dauber tubes
Tube-shaped mud nests on walls and under overhangs are mud daubers. They are less aggressive but a sign your property is attracting stinging insects.
Our Approach
How Our Wasp & Hornet Control Works
We identify the species and locate every nest, including hidden ground and void nests that homeowners often miss. The species matters: a paper wasp nest, an aerial hornet nest, and an underground yellow jacket colony each call for a different, carefully timed approach.
We treat aerial nests on eaves, trees, and structures, treat ground nests directly at the entrance, and inject voids where colonies have moved into walls or soffits. We treat early in the day when activity is lowest for maximum safety, and we can apply a deterrent to recurring problem areas to discourage rebuilding.

Questions about wasp & hornet control?
(706) 754-6248Wasp & Hornet Control Across Northeast Georgia
Our long warm season lets wasp and yellow jacket colonies grow large and stay active well into fall, when they become most aggressive. Wooded lots and structures around the lakes and mountains give them endless nesting sites, and ground-nesting yellow jackets are a particular hazard in the region’s lawns and pastures.
Please do not try to knock down a large or ground nest yourself. Call (706) 754-6248, and in most cases we can be out the same day to remove it safely.
We provide wasp & hornet control to homes and businesses across northeast Georgia, including Gainesville, Clarkesville, Cornelia, Toccoa, Dahlonega, Helen, Cleveland, Jefferson, Lavonia, Hartwell, and Demorest. See our full list of service areas for local details near you.
Wasp & Hornet Control: Common Questions
Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?
Small, newly started nests can sometimes be handled with care, but large nests, aerial hornet nests, and ground-nesting yellow jackets are dangerous, especially for anyone with a sting allergy. Professional removal is the safe choice.
How do you get rid of yellow jackets in the ground?
We locate the nest entrance and apply a treatment directly into the colony, usually early in the morning when the yellow jackets are least active. Ground nests can be very large, so professional treatment is far safer than home remedies.
How do I keep wasps from coming back?
After removal we can apply a deterrent to recurring problem spots like eaves and soffits, and we point out the conditions attracting them. Early-season treatment, before nests get large, makes the whole season easier.
When are wasps most active in Georgia?
Stinging insects build through summer and are largest and most aggressive in late summer and fall. Treating early in the season keeps colonies from reaching that point.
Do you treat hornets and mud daubers too?
Yes. We handle paper wasps, bald-faced and other hornets, yellow jackets, and mud daubers, matching the treatment to the species and nest location.
How fast can you come out for a wasp or hornet nest?
We treat stinging insect calls as emergencies, and in most cases we can be out the same day. If anyone in the home has a sting allergy, or the nest is over a door, walkway, or play area, say so when you call (706) 754-6248 and you go to the front of the schedule.
Do you remove the nest or just treat it?
Both. We treat the colony first, then take the nest down once it is safe to do so. A dead nest left hanging on the house is not a finished job, and an empty nest is a spot other insects will move into.
How much does wasp nest removal cost?
It depends on the species, where the nest is, how safely it can be reached, and how many nests are on the property. Rather than guess over the phone, we come look and give you a firm price before any work starts, with no obligation.
