As this customer in Skillman, NJ, was putting away all his summer cushions and pool supplies, he was attacked by several angry yellow jackets!
Flying Around
The yellow jackets were hovering around the bin. Turns out, they were nesting inside of it!
Facts About Yellow Jackets
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.
Attached to the Cushion
We treated the nest with a knockdown dusting and aerosol application. Both of these products will exterminate the yellow jackets almost immediately.
Removed the Nest
Once the yellow jackets were eliminated we removed the nest and disposed of it properly.
