Yellow Jackets Found in the Ground in Middletown, NJ
As we were treating this commercial property in Middletown, NJ we noticed some yellow jackets hovering around an area on the lawn. We took a closer look and discovered that the yellow jackets had an in-ground nest in this area!
Yellow jackets construct paper-like nests underground that may contain thousands of larvae and adult workers! Foraging ground-nesting yellow jacket workers could come in contact with people who hangout in their backyard or are just mowing their lawn and (since yellow jackets are territorial) attack the unsuspecting victims over and over again!
For treatment, we injected a residual dusting application directly into the burrow. This application neutralizes the yellow jackets almost immediately. A few moments later, we dug up the nest, disposed of it properly, and then filled in the burrow.
Yellow Jackets Nest Hidden Well in the Bushes in Brick, NJ
This homeowner in Brick, NJ was mowing his lawn one warm, sunny morning when all of a sudden, he was attacked and stung by several yellow jackets! Fortunately, he was a Home Protection Plan customer, so he stopped what he doing and called Cowleys for help.
When we arrived, we equipped our protective bee suits and began inspecting the area where the owner was attacked. Several moments into our inspection, we found a large yellow jackets nest in the bushes! They were expertly hidden and the owner, nor his family, had any idea they were there!
So we injected a residual aerosol application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a residual dusting product. These treatments exterminate the yellow jackets quickly. A few moments later, we removed the nest & the branch it was attached to and disposed of them properly.
Hidden in the Bush is a Large Bald-Faced Hornet Nest in Seaside Park, NJ
During regularly scheduled treatment service for a new Commercial Protection Plan customer in Seaside Park, NJ, we discovered something interesting in the bushes near the employee parking lot - a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest! We spoke to the owner and he, nor his staff, had no idea that these aggressive and ill-tempered stinging insects were there! This is why we always conduct a full inspection of a home or business!
For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol product into the bald-faced hornets nest. After several moments had passed, we then liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments neutralize the bald-faced hornets within minutes. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.
Live Yellow Jacket Nest Found in the Basement in Brielle, NJ
As this homeowner in Brielle, NJ was organizing his basement, he heard a buzzing noise coming from the corner. As he went to investigate, he was suddenly attacked by a number of angry yellow jackets! Since his daughter is highly allergic to bee stings, he and his family left his home and called Cowleys for help.
After equipping our protective bee suit, we investigated the area where the homeowner was attacked and uncovered a rather large yellow jackets nest tucked away underneath a piece of fiberglass insulation. For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest. Several moments later, we injected a knockdown dusting application. These treatments will quickly neutralize the yellow jackets.
Some time after treating the yellow jackets, we removed the nest and, with the owner's permission, the insulation that was attached to the nest, and disposed of them both properly.
Bald-Faced Hornets Nesting on the Window in Tinton Falls, NJ
This property manager of a condo association in Tinton Falls, NJ called our office after her maintenance team found an active hornets' nest on the window of a vacant unit. Once we arrived a took a closer look at the nest, after equipping our protective bee suits, we identified them as bald-faced hornets.
Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!
We treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application. Both products exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and cleaned the area.
