Each one is handled differently, so the first step is a quick ID — a photo is usually enough.
Paper wasps are the nests most often found over storefront doors, under sign boxes and inside fire escape railings. Small nests grow fast through the summer.
Yellow jackets are the ones that ruin outdoor seating and loading areas. Nests in walls and the ground need professional treatment, not a can of spray.
Honey bees are valuable pollinators. We work with a local beekeeper so swarms and colonies are relocated, not exterminated.
Passaic is a dense, busy city on the Passaic River, with storefronts along Main Avenue and the commercial corridors, older multi-family buildings and mill and industrial buildings near the river and Route 21. Those buildings give stinging insects a lot of sheltered spots:
For landlords and property managers, a nest by a shared entrance is everyone's problem. Tell us which tenants or staff are affected and we'll plan the visit around them.
A sting at your door can mean a serious reaction for someone who's allergic. You don't want that happening on your property.
Yellow jackets around outdoor tables, trash and delivery doors drive customers away and can get into food prep areas.
A paper wasp nest the size of a coffee cup in June can be much bigger by August. Smaller nests are easier and safer to remove.
Honey bees and yellow jackets living in a wall can stain, soften or damage it, and honey left behind attracts other pests.
Never seal a hole that stinging insects are using before the colony is dealt with — they can chew or find a way inside the building instead. See bee and wasp exclusion and sealing.
Wasp, hornet, yellow jacket or honey bee — the plan depends on which one it is.
Early morning, after closing or at quieter times so customers and staff aren't near the work.
A licensed technician treats wasp, hornet and yellow jacket nests and removes them when reachable. Honey bees are relocated with a local beekeeper.
We point out gaps and favorite nesting spots so you can close them once the colony is gone. Recurring service is available for properties that get nests every year.
Need a written record of the visit for your landlord, insurer or manager? Ask and we'll include one. More on business service at commercial pest control.
Honey bee swarms are common in spring and early summer. A swarm looks scary — a buzzing ball of thousands of bees on a sign, a tree or the side of a building — but swarming bees are usually calm because they have no nest to defend yet. They're looking for a new home, and a wall void in an older Passaic building can look perfect to them.

| Time of year | What's happening | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Queens start new wasp nests; honey bee swarms | Knock down tiny starter nests early; call us for swarms |
| Early summer | Nests grow quickly on awnings, signs and eaves | Have nests near doors removed while they're small |
| Late summer | Yellow jacket colonies peak; most aggressive around food and trash | Keep dumpsters closed, lids on, and call about ground and wall nests |
| Fall | Colonies decline after hard frosts; queens look for shelter | Seal gaps once nests are inactive |
| Winter | Old paper nests are usually empty | Good time for repairs and sealing |
Most stinging-insect calls in North Jersey come from late spring through early fall.

No. We work with a local beekeeper so honey bee swarms and colonies are relocated instead of exterminated. Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are treated.
Usually, yes, if we can keep people away from the work area. For nests by the main entrance we often work early or after closing. We'll tell you if an area needs to be closed off for a while.
It depends on the insect, the nest size, how high or hidden it is and how many nests there are. We give a free quote, often from a photo.
Honey bees are fuzzy and golden-brown and usually calm unless their hive is disturbed. Wasps and yellow jackets are smooth, shiny and often yellow-and-black or brown, and they're more aggressive near the nest.
Small, open paper wasp nests can sometimes be handled with care, but we don't recommend it at a business. Wall, roof and ground nests, yellow jackets and anything near customers should be handled by a professional.
Not while the nest is active. Sealing the entrance can force them into the building. Once the colony is gone, sealing the gap is the right next step.
