Paper Wasp Nest Gets Knocked Down Before It's Finished in Rumson, NJ

As we were servicing this customers property in Rumson, NJ we stumbled upon a few paper wasps beginning to build their nest up underneath the second story window. 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.

We grabbed our extendable pole, attached a knockdown dusting application to it, and liberally treated the nest. This product rapidly neutralizes the paper wasps. A short while later we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a residual application to the area to prevent the paper wasps from returning and building a new nest.
