Our technicians are trained to identify and safely eliminate all species of wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets common to the Fresh Meadows and Queens area.
Aggressive wasps with bright yellow and black markings. They often build nests underground, in wall voids, or attic spaces. Yellow jackets are responsible for most stinging incidents in Queens.
Build distinctive umbrella-shaped paper nests under eaves, decks, and overhangs. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will defend their nests vigorously when threatened.
Large black and white hornets that build enclosed paper nests in trees, shrubs, and on building exteriors. Extremely defensive and can attack in swarms when their nest is disturbed.
Large brown and yellow hornets that nest in hollow trees, wall cavities, and attics. Active at night and attracted to lights. Can cause structural damage when nesting in buildings.
Solitary wasps that build tube-like mud nests on walls and under eaves. Generally non-aggressive and rarely sting, but their nests can be unsightly and attract other pests.
Large ground-nesting wasps that dig burrows in lawns. Despite their intimidating size, they're generally docile toward humans but can damage lawns with extensive tunneling.
Attempting DIY wasp or yellow jacket removal can result in serious injury. Here's why you should always call a professional exterminator.
Unlike bees, wasps and yellow jackets can sting repeatedly. A disturbed nest can result in dozens of painful stings within seconds.
Wasp venom can cause severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening without immediate medical treatment.
Many nests are located in hard-to-reach areas like wall voids, underground, or high in trees where DIY removal is extremely dangerous.
Children, elderly family members, and pets are especially vulnerable to wasp attacks and may not be able to escape quickly.
A mature yellow jacket colony can contain 5,000+ workers. Disturbing such a large nest without professional equipment is extremely dangerous.
Improper removal often fails to eliminate the entire colony, leading to recurring infestations and increased aggression from surviving wasps.
Our proven 5-step process ensures complete elimination of wasp and yellow jacket infestations while prioritizing safety for your family and property.

While professional removal is essential for active infestations, these prevention tips can help reduce the likelihood of wasp problems on your property.
Keep trash cans tightly sealed and clean. Wasps are attracted to food waste, especially sugary substances and proteins.
When eating outside, keep food and drinks covered. Yellow jackets are especially attracted to sweet beverages and meats.
Inspect and seal gaps around windows, doors, eaves, and utility penetrations where wasps might build nests.
Trim bushes and trees near your home. Remove fallen fruit and keep flower beds away from entry doors.
Some wasps are attracted to lights at night. Use yellow bug lights or reduce unnecessary outdoor lighting.
Schedule professional inspections in early spring when queens are starting new nests and colonies are small.
