Pest control for homes and businesses across metro Atlanta
Max Pest Solutions removes wasp and yellowjacket nests at Chamblee properties, including commercial buildings and loading areas. Honey bees are different and we refer those to a beekeeper for live removal rather than treating them. Request a free quote.
Customized Pest Control Solutions
A wooded acre and a slab-foundation subdivision home need different work. In Chamblee we quote after walking the property rather than from a price list, so what gets applied follows what the inspection actually finds.

Most treatments are one visit plus a check. If anything is still active when we come back to your Chamblee property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowCommercial and light industrial buildings give stinging insects large sheltered structures and a great deal of undisturbed edge: loading dock canopies, roller door surrounds, steel framing and the underside of canopies over pedestrian doors. Those are prime paper wasp sites and they sit directly above where staff and deliveries pass.
The operational problem is access rather than the nest. A nest over a loading door cannot be treated during deliveries, a warehouse cannot always be cleared at short notice, and staff need to keep working beneath it in the meantime. That makes scheduling and interim exclusion of the area as much of the job as the treatment, and it is worth agreeing before someone gets stung rather than after. Waste handling matters too in late summer, when scavenging yellowjackets arrive regardless of whether anything is nesting on site.
| What | When it comes up here | What you notice first |
|---|---|---|
| Yellowjacket | Peak July to September, nesting in the ground or in a void | Steady traffic in and out of one hole, defensive close to the nest |
| Paper wasp | May through September, open comb under shelter | Umbrella-shaped comb under eaves, railings and grill covers |
| Loading dock canopies and door surrounds | May through September | Comb directly above where people pass |
| Steel framing and structural edges | May through September | Sheltered undisturbed nest sites |
| Waste areas in late summer | August and September | Scavenging foragers with no nest on site |
Most of our work in Chamblee is residential, and treatment is scheduled around your family rather than around us. Residential pest control
Commercial work is scheduled around your trading hours and documented after every visit, which is what an inspector or auditor asks for. Commercial pest control
Queens emerge in March and April and begin nests that are small and easily missed.
Nests build through May and June, when most are found during ordinary outdoor work.
July through September is peak size and peak defensiveness, and it is when most stings happen.
Colonies die back with the first hard frosts and the nest is not reused, though the same sheltered spot often is.
Treatment has to be scheduled around deliveries, and the area needs keeping clear in the meantime.
That is the part to solve first, ahead of the treatment itself.
Late summer scavenging. Waste handling changes it, treatment does not.
What our customers say
FAQ
Usually yes, with scheduling. Work is planned around deliveries and shift patterns, and the immediate area is kept clear during and shortly after treatment. What we will not do is treat a nest above a working doorway with people passing underneath.
Late summer scavenging. Yellowjackets switch to sugars and protein in August and September and will travel to reach waste. They are foragers from colonies elsewhere, so waste handling changes it and treating what lands there does not.
We do not treat honey bees. A colony in a structure is referred to a beekeeper for live removal wherever practical. We handle wasps, yellowjackets and hornets, and we identify which is present before quoting.
Yes. Your technician leaves a pesticide use record listing the product, its EPA registration number, the target pests and any post-application precautions, which is what Georgia requires under Ga. Comp. R. and Regs. 620-3-.02(1)(f).
