Bee and Wasp Removal Wallington NJ — Yellow Jackets, Hornets, Paper Wasps and Carpenter Bees

Where bees and wasps nest on Wallington properties

Wallington lots are small, so a nest is rarely far from a door. On the older two-family houses that line most streets, we find stinging insects in the same handful of places again and again:

• Porch ceilings and the underside of railings. Paper wasps hang their open, umbrella-shaped combs there.
• Gaps in siding and around vents. Yellow jackets slip into the wall and build a nest inside the cavity, sometimes right next to a bedroom.
• Detached garages and sheds. Eaves, open rafters and old window frames are quiet spots for wasps and hornets.
• Shrubs and the strip between houses. Bald-faced hornets hang gray nests in bushes; yellow jackets nest in the ground under ivy and loose pavers.
• Unpainted wood. Carpenter bees drill neat round holes in porch rails, fascia boards and garage trim.

With neighbors a few feet away, a nest on the property line can bother two or three families at once. And with sweet bakery treats and soda on the back steps in August, yellow jackets will find you.

Honey bees in Wallington go to a beekeeper

Honey bees are important pollinators, and we don't exterminate them. If you see a large, buzzing cluster hanging from a branch, a fence or the side of the house in spring, it's probably a swarm looking for a new home. Swarms are usually calm. Keep people away, don't spray it, and call us.

We work with a local beekeeper, so honey bee swarms and colonies are relocated. A colony that has already moved into a wall or soffit is a bigger job, because the comb and honey have to come out too, or they attract other insects later. We'll look at it and explain the options.
