How to Get Rid of Yellow Jackets and Hornets Safely
By Middle East Pest Control · New Hampshire pest control and wildlife removal experts
Late summer is peak season for yellow jackets in New Hampshire. Colonies can hold thousands of workers, and they defend the nest aggressively.
Where they nest
Yellow jackets favor abandoned rodent burrows, wall voids, and gaps under siding. Bald-faced hornets build gray paper nests in trees and under eaves. Paper wasps build open combs under railings and deck boards.
Why DIY goes wrong
Spraying a wall-void nest often drives the colony inside the house. Ground nests have multiple exits. And a single sting can be fatal for allergic people.
Professional removal
Technicians treat at dusk when the colony is home, use dusts that reach deep into voids, and remove the nest structure so it cannot be reused. Same day wasp nest removal is available, and for nests near doorways or children's rooms, our emergency pest control team responds any time.
