Most treatments are one visit plus a check. If anything is still active when we come back to your Peachtree Corners property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowThe deep maintained mulch beds that define landscaping here are good yellowjacket nesting ground. Loose, undisturbed, well-drained material over soil is easy to excavate and gives a sheltered cavity, and beds are usually planted densely enough that the entrance is not visible from a path.
The complication is who is nearby. Campus beds run alongside walkways, building entrances and outdoor seating, so a colony that would be a minor matter in a back garden sits next to a route used by hundreds of people daily. Landscape maintenance crews are the ones most at risk, because strimming and bed work disturbs nests directly. Where beds are maintained under contract, telling the grounds contractor is as important as arranging treatment, and that coordination is often the slow part.
| 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 |
| Deep maintained mulch beds | July to September | Entrance hidden by dense planting |
| Beds alongside walkways and entrances | July to September | Colony next to heavy foot traffic |
| Landscape maintenance activity | Through the season | Nests disturbed by strimming and bed work |

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.
A colony that would be minor in a garden sits beside a route used by hundreds of people.
Strimming and bed work disturb ground nests directly, which is how crews get stung.
Coordination is often slower than the treatment itself and matters just as much.
What our customers say
FAQ
The area is kept clear and the grounds contractor is told, before anything else. Landscape crews are the people most likely to be stung, because strimming and bed work disturbs a ground nest directly, and they need to know before their next visit rather than after.
Because loose, well-drained, undisturbed material over soil is easy to excavate and gives a sheltered cavity, and dense planting hides the entrance. A maintained bed is better nesting ground than compacted lawn, which is why campus landscaping sees more of them.
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.
Peachtree Corners sits in Gwinnett County, but structural pest control licensing in Georgia is administered at state level by the Georgia Department of Agriculture rather than by the county. County environmental health handles public health reporting locally.
