Bee Gone: Professional Bee Removal Services for Your Home or Business

At Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services, we understand how dangerous and unnerving it can be to have bees or wasps infest your home. These pests can cause not only physical harm but also emotional distress for you and your family. That’s why we offer comprehensive bee and wasp control services that are specifically designed to keep your home and loved ones safe from harm.

Bees, wasps & hornets can be dangerous.

Bees, wasps and hornets are more than just pests – their ability to sting poses a real threat to comfortable living and working conditions. Wasps, in particular, can become a problem when their nest is close to the entrance of your home or business. People often mistakenly call all stinging insects “bees”. While both bees and wasps live in colonies ruled by queens and maintained by workers, they look and behave differently. It is important to distinguish between these insects because different methods are used to control them.

At Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service to our customers. Here are some of the benefits of working with us:

  • No annual contracts: We don’t require our customers to sign annual contracts. You can use our bee removal services as needed without worrying about being locked into a contract.

How can I prevent bee and wasp infestations?

You can prevent bee and wasp infestations by taking a few simple precautions. Here are some tips to help you prevent bees and wasps from taking up residence in or around your home:

Keep Property Clean

Bees and wasps are attracted to areas where food and water are readily available, so it’s important to keep your property clean and free of debris. This means regularly cleaning up any food spills, emptying outdoor pet bowls, and fixing leaky outdoor faucets.

Seal Entry Points

Bees and wasps can use even the smallest cracks or holes as entry points into your home. Check the exterior of your home for any potential entry points, such as gaps around windows or doors, and seal them up with caulk or foam insulation.

Cover Food and Drinks

Bees and wasps are attracted to sugary foods and drinks, so keeping them covered while eating outside can help prevent infestations. Use lids or coverings for outdoor food and drinks, and avoid leaving food out for extended periods.

Dispose of Garbage Properly

Bees and wasps are attracted to garbage, so it’s important to properly dispose of it. Make sure all garbage is tightly sealed in containers with secure lids, and store it away from your home until trash pickup day.

Trim Trees and Shrubs

Bees and wasps are attracted to flowers and other plants, so keeping them away from your home can help prevent infestations. Trim back any trees or shrubs that are close to your home, and avoid planting flowers and plants close to your home’s exterior.

Close Windows and Doors

Bees and wasps can easily fly into your home through open windows and doors, so keeping them closed can help prevent infestations. If you prefer to keep your windows or doors open for ventilation, consider installing screens to keep bees and wasps out.

Use Repellents or Traps

There are a variety of insect repellents and traps available that can help deter bees and wasps from your home. These can include natural options like citronella candles or essential oils, as well as chemical repellents and traps designed specifically for bees and wasps. Be sure to follow instructions carefully when using these products, and consider contacting a pest control professional for help with more serious infestations.

If you’re dealing with a bee or wasp infestation in your home, don’t wait to get it taken care of. Contact Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services today for expert bee and wasp removal services.

Types of Bees and Wasps Found in Georgia

Georgia is home to a wide variety of bees and wasps, each with its own unique characteristics and behavior. Here are some of the most common types of bees and wasps found in Georgia:

  • Honey Bees: Honey bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and are responsible for pollinating many of the plants we rely on for food. However, when they take up residence in or around your home, they can become a nuisance or even a danger to your family and pets. Honey bees typically build their nests in hollow trees or other protected areas, but can also build nests in walls, attics, or other areas of your home. If you suspect that you have a honey bee infestation, it’s important to contact a professional pest control company like Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services to safely and effectively remove the nest.
  • Yellow Jackets: Yellow jackets are a type of wasp that are known for their aggressive behavior and painful stings. They typically build their nests underground or in trees, but can also build nests in walls, attics, or other areas of your home. Yellow jacket infestations can be dangerous, especially if you or a family member is allergic to their stings. If you suspect that you have a yellow jacket infestation, it’s important to contact a professional pest control company like Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services to safely and effectively remove the nest.
  • Paper Wasps: Paper wasps are a type of social wasp that build umbrella-shaped nests out of paper-like materials. They are typically not aggressive but can become so if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps can build nests in trees, under eaves, or in other protected areas around your home. If you suspect that you have a paper wasp infestation, it’s important to contact a professional pest control company like Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services to safely and effectively remove the nest.
  • Carpenter Bees: Carpenter bees are a type of large bee that burrows into wood to make their nests. They can cause damage to wooden structures and are often mistaken for bumble bees. Carpenter bees typically build their nests in wooden structures such as decks, porches, or eaves. If you suspect that you have a carpenter bee infestation, it’s important to contact a professional pest control company like Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services to safely and effectively remove the nest and prevent future infestations.

By following these tips, you can help prevent bee and wasp infestations and keep your home and loved ones safe from harm. If you do find yourself dealing with a bee or wasp infestation, however, it’s important to contact a professional pest control company like Holder’s Pest Control & Wildlife Services to handle the problem safely and effectively.

DJ and Scott arrived when they said they would. We had a pest containment done to our home by the sellers when we purchased and then recently had new gutters added. Needed to re-secure the home. They fixed the areas that needed to be secured, reset the traps in the attic and went above and beyond the job by cleaning out my gutters on the one side of the house. Love Holder Pest and their team.

I called Holder's Pest Services, and the receptionist Felicia was very kind and understanding. She didn't have any technicians available til a few days later, but with my request, she accommodated me the same day I called. The technician was Mark, who is also the owner. He was very kind, patient and helpful. I had a few holes in my back yard, and he assured me that they were not anything serious. He recommended some over the counter remedies I could do myself. I also got rats up in the attic, plus some holes around my house that needs sealant. He gave me a reasonable quote, and did not pressure me at all. He is such a nice, and honest person with excellent customer service. I look forward to using his services. I recommend them 100%.

I had a great experience with Holder’s and DJ was awesome! I got quotes from 4 companies and Holder’s was the only one I felt was honest and straightforward with me. When DJ came out for the inspection, he was thorough and walked around the attic (which no other company did) and the crawlspace. When he returned to complete the work, he went above and beyond to make sure my questions were answered and concerns were addressed. I happily recommend Holder’s and DJ specifically!

Holders are simply great. I utilized their services 5 years ago for critter control and got the entire area galvanized after removing the critters. The critters came back after 4 years which they often do due to smell unless we remove the entire fill in the attic and clean it thoroughly. They offer very affordable yearly warranty which we did not take originally. They gave me a good price to match the warranty for all these years retroactively and saved me quite a good bit. DJ from their team specially deserves a shout out for his agility, professionalism, courtesy and friendliness. He is now helping me with attic insulation project on behalf of Holders working on my quote and I am pretty sure he will again do a great job. In a nutshell, if I want cost effective quality service with professional delivery, I would save time and revert back to them always.

She's professional, understanding and willing to work with our schedule so that it's convenient on both sides. She's a keeper & we're grateful for her. Holders Pest & Wildlife has serviced our home for over 3 yrs and have remedied issues from mice, mites, stick bugs, ants
and spiders. Being backed up to woods and a creek, we encounter a variety of creatures from time to time. I must add, although there's been a few staff changes over this time period, they still managed to provide good service each visit. Thank you for respecting our request of wearing your facial mask and shoe covers every visit! 🙂

We had a rodent problem and we chose Holder’s to do the job over our current brand name exterminator. I had a fantastic experience from the moment I called their number. The lady who took the call was very sweet and knowledgeable about the many questions I asked. Then she connected me directly with the technician, Benji, who would be coming out for the inspection. He too was so sweet and accommodating to our needs.

I thought his initial inspection was done in a very professional manner. The quote and his explanation of the costs were straightforward and at no point, did he try to upsell me. The job was done in a few hours and cleanup was also done well. Benji also does a great job following up and keeping me informed.

It’s definitely pricey but very much worth it to have peace of mind. It will save you from other more costly issues in the future. So far haven’t had any issues since they left.? I really liked the hands-on approach and general vibe of this company. There’s something personal about their touch that you don’t get from larger brand name companies.
