Photo Album: Huge Yellow Jackets Nest Found in the Attic in Freehold, NJ
This yellow jackets nest was huge!
Tucked Away
As we inspected the attic, we found this large yellow jackets nest tucked away in the back corner of the attic.
Wrapped Around the Insulation
The nest was huge, bigger than beach ball! It was hidden well underneath the insulation. 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.
Knocked it Down
We injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest. This will rapidly exterminate the yellow jackets.
Removed & Cleaned the Area
A short while later, we removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and cleaned the area.
