Grace Valley Pest Control
I removed a large bald-faced hornet nest and treated the area thoroughly.
Two weeks later, a new structure started forming on a nearby door k**b.
At first glance, it looks like the colony “came back”… but that’s not how bald-faced hornets work.
By July, colonies are already fully established, and workers cannot start a new colony without a queen.
The most likely explanation is that the original queen survived the initial treatment and remaining workers attempted limited rebuilding.
Without a functioning colony structure, brood, and sustained queen activity, these rebuild attempts typically fail quickly.
This is why follow-ups matter after large nest removals!
🇺🇸 Rolling through the streets of Dahlonega celebrating the 4th of July and the freedoms we’re blessed to enjoy.
At Grace Valley Pest Control, we’re proud to be part of this community and grateful for the men and women who fought to keep this the land of the free because of the brave.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day! 🎆🦅🇺🇸

Larry was more than a client — he was a great neighbor and a great friend. He was the kind of person who always@ had a joke ready, no matter the situation.
One day after a long day of work, I came home to find my mailbox knocked down. I was outside fixing it with my daughter, clearly irritated, when Larry drove up and asked, “What happened?”
I answered, “What does it look like?” and jokingly blamed my daughter, Amelia. She immediately started protesting and explaining how the mailman had actually done it. Larry looked at her and said, “As your lawyer, I advise you to stop talking, Amelia.”
That was Larry. Always quick with a joke, always able to make people laugh.
Here’s to Larry — you will be deeply missed by the many people who knew and loved you.
