Professional Wasp Exterminator Services

Your Property, Wasp-Free and Safe

You shouldn’t have to sprint past your own deck or worry about your kids playing in the yard. When wasps set up shop around your Northwood property, they turn your outdoor spaces into no-go zones.

Professional wasp removal means you get your space back completely. No more checking over your shoulder when you’re grilling. No more keeping windows closed on beautiful days because there’s a nest under your eaves.

We eliminate the entire colony and remove the nest so they can’t return to the same spot. You’ll know the job is done right when you can walk around your property without that constant awareness of where the wasps might be lurking.

Local Northwood Wasp Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Wasps

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling wasp problems throughout Northwood and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how aggressive yellow jackets get in late summer and why paper wasps love building under your deck railings.

Our technicians are licensed in New Jersey and equipped with professional-grade protective gear that actually works. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try to handle wasp nests themselves, and we’d rather get the call before someone gets hurt.

Being local means we respond quickly when you need us most. Wasp problems don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.

Our Wasp Removal Process

Straightforward, Professional Wasp Nest Elimination

First, we locate all active nests on your property. Wasps often build in multiple spots, and missing even one means the problem continues. We check eaves, wall voids, ground areas, and other common nesting sites around Northwood homes.

Next comes the actual removal using professional-grade treatments that eliminate the entire colony quickly. We wear full protective suits because wasps become extremely aggressive when their nest is threatened. This isn’t a job for store-bought spray and hoping for the best.

After eliminating the colony, we physically remove the nest structure. This prevents other wasps from moving into an empty nest and gives you visual confirmation the job is complete. We’ll also point out conditions that attract wasps so you can reduce the chances of future problems.

What's Included in Professional Removal

Every wasp removal includes a thorough property inspection to locate all nests, not just the obvious ones. We often find secondary nests that homeowners miss, which explains why DIY attempts frequently fail.

You get complete colony elimination using professional treatments that work faster and more effectively than anything available in stores. Our equipment lets us reach nests in difficult locations like high eaves or inside wall voids without putting anyone at risk.

We physically remove nest structures and provide prevention recommendations specific to your property. Many Northwood homes have features that naturally attract wasps, but simple modifications can make your property much less appealing to them next season.

How quickly can you remove a wasp nest?

Most wasp nest removals are completed within an hour, but the timeline depends on nest size, location, and how many nests we find on your property. We often discover multiple nests during our inspection, which is why professional removal is more thorough than DIY attempts. For emergency situations with aggressive wasps, we prioritize same-day service. The actual treatment works quickly to eliminate the colony, but we take time to ensure we’ve found all nests and removed them completely so you don’t have recurring problems.
We strongly advise against DIY wasp nest removal, especially for nests larger than a golf ball. Wasps become extremely aggressive when their nest is threatened, and they can sting multiple times unlike bees. Store-bought sprays often don’t reach the entire colony and can make wasps more aggressive. Without proper protective equipment, you’re at serious risk of multiple stings, which can be dangerous even if you’re not allergic. We see homeowners get hurt attempting removal regularly, and the cost of professional service is much less than an emergency room visit.
Wasps are more aggressive, can sting multiple times, and are attracted to sugary foods and drinks, which is why they bother you during outdoor meals. Bees are generally less aggressive, die after stinging once, and focus on flowers rather than your food. Wasps have smooth bodies and bright yellow coloring, while bees are fuzzy and more brownish. Wasp nests are papery and gray, often built under eaves or in wall voids. This distinction matters because removal approaches are different, and wasps pose a higher immediate threat to people using outdoor spaces.
Wasp activity peaks from July through October in New Jersey, with late summer being the most problematic time. This is when colonies are at their largest and wasps become more aggressive as natural food sources become scarce. They start seeking out human food and drinks, making outdoor activities unpleasant. Early spring removal of small nests is ideal, but most people don’t notice wasp problems until colonies are well-established. Fall removal is still important because it prevents overwintering queens from establishing new colonies on your property next year.
Wasp removal costs vary based on nest size, location, and accessibility, but most residential jobs in Northwood range from reasonable to moderate pricing. Multiple nests or difficult locations like inside walls cost more due to additional time and specialized equipment needed. Emergency service during peak season may include premium pricing, but it’s still much less expensive than dealing with medical bills from stings or property damage from attempted DIY removal. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Wasps won’t return to the exact same spot once we’ve removed the nest structure, but your property might still attract new colonies if conditions are right. We remove pheromone traces that could draw other wasps and provide recommendations to make your property less appealing. This includes sealing entry points, removing food sources, and addressing structural features that provide ideal nesting sites. Most customers don’t see wasp problems in the same locations after professional removal, especially when they follow our prevention suggestions. However, wasps are common in Northwood’s suburban environment, so occasional new nests in different areas aren’t unusual.
