Photo Album: Yellow Jackets Terrorize Homeowners in Tinton Falls, NJ
By the Flashing
As we started inspecting the home, we noticed a number of yellow jackets hovering around the side flashing by the front door.
They Were Nesting
Turns out, they were nesting in a small gap underneath the flashing! Yellow jackets are aggressive, territorial wasps, with distinctive yellow-and-black coloration, that are known for their propensity to sting anyone and anything that they perceive as a threat, such as those who venture too close to their nests or their food.
Yellow Jackets Will Be Exterminated
To exterminate the yellow jackets quickly, we liberally treated the gap with a knockdown dusting application. After a short while, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly. Before we left, we treated the area with a liquid residual. This application will eliminate any yellow jackets that return to the area as well as prevent them from building another nest.
