For a wasp, hornet, yellow jacket or bee problem in Parsippany-Troy Hills, call Silver Bullet Pest Control at 973-510-2585. We identify the species, treat or remove the nest (including ground nests and nests inside walls) and check the property for others. Bee and wasp service is offered as a one-time service or with a 30, 60 or 90-day warranty depending on the species, with re-treatment inside the warranty window. We answer calls 24/7 and can send a tech at any hour; how fast we arrive depends on your location.
| Insect | Where Parsippany nests usually are | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow jackets | Lawns, under shrubs, wall voids, under siding | High: ground and wall nests are easy to disturb |
| Bald-faced hornets | Trees and bushes, sometimes eaves; gray football-shaped nest | High near walkways and play sets |
| Paper wasps | Eaves, porch ceilings, railings, grills, mailboxes | Moderate |
| European hornets | Hollow trees, walls, sheds | Moderate; may fly at night |
| Carpenter bees | Decks, fascia, railings, unpainted wood | Wood damage |
| Honey bee swarms | Hanging on a branch | Usually low; often move on in a day or two |
Parsippany-Troy Hills mixes wooded lots, lake neighborhoods like Lake Hiawatha and Lake Parsippany, and older split-levels and colonials with decks, sheds and wood trim. That's ideal yellow jacket and hornet country: plenty of soil for ground nests, trees for hornets, and sheltered eaves for paper wasps. Office parks and shopping centers along Route 46, Route 10 and I-80 add dumpsters and outdoor dining, which draw yellow jackets in late summer and fall.
The three situations behind most of these calls in North Jersey:
A nest where people walk is a real sting risk. Bee and wasp service comes as a one-time service or with a 30, 60 or 90-day warranty depending on the species.
Small nests grow fast through the summer. Treating early keeps doorways and decks usable.
Carpenter bees drill into unpainted wood and come back every year. Treatment plus sealing and painting the wood stops the cycle.
The most dangerous nests in Parsippany are the ones you can't see: yellow jackets in a lawn hole or inside a wall. Don't plug the hole (they'll dig a new exit, sometimes into the living space), don't pour gasoline or chemicals in, and don't mow near a ground nest. Keep kids and pets away and call. See yellow jacket ground nests.
A nest by the front door, a play area or a pool, wasps coming into the house, or someone allergic at home needs attention right away. We answer calls 24/7 and can send a tech at any hour; how fast we arrive depends on your location. If someone has trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat after a sting, call 911 first. See 24/7 emergency bee removal.
Bee and wasp service is offered as a one-time service or with a 30, 60 or 90-day warranty depending on the species, with re-treatment inside the warranty window. See bee and wasp removal in NJ.
Walk around the eaves, deck and shed every couple of weeks in spring, when nests are small.
Yellow jackets go after sweet drinks and meat at cookouts. Keep lids on.
Open trash and recycling draw yellow jackets in late summer.
Painted or stained wood keeps carpenter bees from drilling in.
Tell us what you're seeing and where. A photo often lets us identify the pest right away. We answer 24/7 for emergencies.
A licensed tech finds the source: where the pest lives, how it gets in and what draws it.
We use the right method for the pest, placed where it works and kept away from kids and pets.
We close entry points and tell you what to change so the problem doesn't come back.
