Yellow Jackets Expanding Their Nest in Pennington, NJ

After spotting some yellow jackets by his backdoor, this homeowner in Pennington, NJ immediately called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. Yellow jackets are aggressive, territorial wasps, with distinctive yellow-and-black coloration, that are known for their propensity to sting anyone and anything that they perceive as a threat, such as those who venture too close to their nests or their food.

When we arrived, we found the nest and realized that it was about the size of a baseball, but the yellow jackets were starting to make it bigger. First, we treated the nest with a knockdown dusting product, which will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a liquid residual application to this area. This product will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to this area as well as prevent them from building another nest.
