Bee Removal in Dumont, NJ: Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Nests

Why Dumont homes get nests

Dumont's Cape Cods, colonials and split-levels on tree-lined streets have the sheltered spots wasps and yellow jackets look for: gaps under siding, soffit and fascia corners, porch ceilings, sheds, play sets and grills. Yards near the town's parks and wooded lots and houses with older homes with big shade trees over the roof see a lot of hornet nests in trees and shrubs, and yellow jackets often nest in old rodent burrows in lawns and along foundations.

Nests start small in spring and are biggest, and most aggressive, in late summer and early fall. That's when most stings happen during yard work, mowing and cookouts.

Yellow jackets in the wall or the ground

If yellow jackets are going in and out of a hole in your siding or lawn, don't plug the hole and don't spray into it. Plugging an active hole can push them inside the house, and yellow jackets nesting in a wall can chew through drywall into a room.

• Keep kids and pets away from the entrance.
• Don't mow over a ground nest.
• Note where they're going in and text us a photo.

We treat the nest at the entrance and tell you when it's safe to seal the hole.
