Photo Album: Hornets nest in pine tree in Colonia too close for comfort. Hornet nest removal and control services in Colonia, NJ
A Colonia homeowner contacted Cowleys to alert us to a hornets nest located in a tree near her back patio grilling area. She wanted it gone, and gone immediately. Hornets nests are especially a problem when built in places where people are coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic around this exterior part of the home since the wasps decided to build their nest nest right next to the patio and an impressive backyard grill. Wasps won’t hesitate to sting if they believe that their nest is being threatened, and because of the location of this nest, it was just a matter of time before someone received a few painful wasp stings.
Hornets Nest Removal in Colonia, New Jersey
I treated the nest with a combination of pyrethrin dust and a foam application to the nest. These applications kill all the wasps in the interior of the nest, as well as any returning wasps as they enter. I allowed some time for these products to work on the nest, waiting until there was no more observable insect activity. I then carefully removed and packaged the nest to be transported with me once I leave. I don't want any remnants of wasp activity on the property that may attract other wasps or insects.
Finally, I inspected around the rest of the yard to make sure that there was no other stinging insect activity. Fortunately, no other activity was found. There was only the one hornets nest, and with that gone, the backyard was free and clear of any stinging insects. This Colonia homeowner was now free to enjoy her backyard once again with our fear of being stung. She had told me that with these "scary" wasps flying around, she was afraid to even step into her backyard. The homeowner thanked me for coming to her rescue so quickly and taking care of her wasp problem.
