Bald-Face Hornets Start Investing in Shrewsbury, NJ

We were called out to a business in Shrewsbury, NJ to treat for wasps. Once we arrived, we spotted the nest nestled right in between the lettering of the business name, about 20 feet up! We took a closer look and were able to identify them as bald-faced hornets. These stinging insects won't waste a single moment to attack or sting anyone or anything that comes close to their nest.

To eliminate them, using our extendable pole, we injected a knockdown dusting application directly into the opening of their nest. After several moments, we also injected a knockdown liquid application. These treatments will exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. Before we left, we applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area where the nest was. 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.

Live Yellow Jacket Nest Found in the Basement in Brielle, NJ

As this homeowner in Brielle, NJ was organizing his basement, he heard a buzzing noise coming from the corner. As he went to investigate, he was suddenly attacked by a number of angry yellow jackets! Since his daughter is highly allergic to bee stings, he and his family left his home and called Cowleys for help.

After equipping our protective bee suit, we investigated the area where the homeowner was attacked and uncovered a rather large yellow jackets nest tucked away underneath a piece of fiberglass insulation. For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application into the nest. Several moments later, we injected a knockdown dusting application. These treatments will quickly neutralize the yellow jackets.

Some time after treating the yellow jackets, we removed the nest and, with the owner's permission, the insulation that was attached to the nest, and disposed of them both properly.

Removing Yellow Jackets From the Closet in Neptune, NJ

We were sent out to the home of a new customer in Neptune, NJ to handle a yellow jacket issue in one of the bedrooms. Apparently, the homeowner was remodeling the closet and discovered a large and active yellow jacket nest actually inside the wall! When we arrived we equipped our protective bee suit and treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol application.

This application is designed to eliminate the yellow jackets quickly. After a short period of time we removed the nest and disposed of it properly.

Hidden in the Bush is a Large Bald-Faced Hornet Nest in Seaside Park, NJ

During regularly scheduled treatment service for a new Commercial Protection Plan customer in Seaside Park, NJ, we discovered something interesting in the bushes near the employee parking lot - a soccer ball sized bald-faced hornets nest! We spoke to the owner and he, nor his staff, had no idea that these aggressive and ill-tempered stinging insects were there! This is why we always conduct a full inspection of a home or business!

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol product into the bald-faced hornets nest. After several moments had passed, we then liberally treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application. Both of these treatments neutralize the bald-faced hornets within minutes. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to, and disposed of them both properly.

Bald-Faced Hornets Infesting the Attic in Fair Haven, NJ

One day, this homeowner in Fair Haven, NJ was cleaning out his attic when all of a sudden, he was attacked by a number of hornets! He quickly left the attic and took a look on the outside of his home. That's when he discovered a soccer-ball sized hornets nest about 50 feet up at the peak of his home. He called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. 

Once we arrived and investigated the nest, we identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What makes them even scarier is they can actually sense vibrations in the air (when you mow your lawn) 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 injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Both of these treatments 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 area. As we removed the nest we noticed a small gap around a utility wire. This was how the hornets were getting into the attic! We sealed it up with a premium, waterproof adhesive. The residual that we applied will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.
