Wasp and Hornet Nests: What NJ Homeowners Should Know

Stinging-insect activity peaks in late summer. Nests near doorways and play areas deserve prompt attention.

Signs to look for

• Wasps or hornets coming and going from a single spot
• Paper-like nests under eaves, decks, or in shrubs
• Increased activity around trash, food, or sweet drinks

Why it happens

Wasps and hornets build seasonal nests in protected spots and grow more active and defensive as summer ends.

Prevention tips

• Keep outdoor trash covered and clean up food and drinks
• Inspect eaves, sheds, and play structures early in the season
• Seal gaps where nests can start in wall voids

When to call a professional

Do not disturb an active nest yourself, especially near entries or where people gather; a professional can assess it safely. Keera Pest Control serves Woodbridge Township and nearby Central New Jersey communities.
