Eliminating a Bald-Faced Hornets Nest in Metuchen, NJ

We were sent out to a home in Metuchen, NJ to handle a hornet situation. Once we arrived, we realized that these stinging insects were bald-faced hornetsBald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

Using our extendable pole, we treated the bald-faced hornet nest with a knockdown aerosol application. A short while later, we also injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Both of these treatments will quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the soffit. This will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.

We were called out to a home in Metuchen, NJ after the owner spotted a giant hornets nest on the soffit. Once we arrived and took a closer look at them, we identified them as bald-faced hornets.

A Chimney Cap Stopes the Starlings in Manalapan, NJ

We were sent out to a home in Manalapan, NJ to remove some starlings that were residing in the chimney. A short while after setting up our removal devices, we had safely and successfully removed all of the starlings from the chimney. We then removed all of the nesting material and applied a disinfecting solution to target and eliminate any bird mites that may lingering in the area. Bird mites are parasites that feed on the blood of birds. When birds leave their nests, the mites are left behind without a suitable host for their next blood meal and make their way into a home. Once inside, they take over and start feeding on the family! To make matters worse, bird mites are tiny and semi-transparent, so they are extremely difficult to detect!

Once we finished with that, we installed a chimney cap. A chimney cap is a heavy-duty material that is constructed out of 24 Gauge Top and Flange, and 18 Gauge Galvanized Mesh! It is designed to prevent access to the chimney from birds, squirrels, raccoons, bats, and all nuisance wildlife.

Wasps Beginning to Build Their Nest in Colonia, NJ

During a regular treatment service of this customers home in Colonia, NJ, we spotted the beginning of a wasp nest on the soffit, right next to the back door. As we closely inspected these stinging insects, we were able to identify them as paper wasps. Paper wasps received their name from the paper-like material out of which they make their nests. They are semi-social stinging insects that usually have brown bodies with yellow or reddish markings. A sting from a paper wasp can be extremely painful and can cause allergic reactions in some people.

For treatment, we grabbed our extendable pole, attached an aerosol product to it, and liberally treated the nest. This product rapidly neutralizes the paper wasps. Moments later, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and then applied a liquid residual application to the soffit. This will prevent the paper wasps, as well as other stinging insects, from returning to this area and build another nest.

Safely Evicting a Raccoon from the Attic in Jackson, NJ

A homeowner in Jackson, NJ had an unsuspecting visitor take up residency in her home  a raccoon! She called our office for help and we were sent out to find out how the raccoon got into the attic and safely remove it.

Moments into our inspection, we noticed that a portion of the soffit was ripped open and there was raccoon hair stuck in the opening. This was the main access point. We temporarily enclosed the area with hardware cloth and installed a one-way device over the access point. The one-way device allows the raccoon to safely leave the attic but prevents it from getting back in. We also placed several baited devices nearby.

A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon, relocated it to a new, humane environment, and disinfected the attic area. Lastly, we sealed up the access point with sturdy metal flashing to prevent reinfestation.
