Professional Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Treatment
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can quickly become a serious concern around homes, decks, sheds, playgrounds, rooflines, and entryways. As their colonies grow, they can become more aggressive and protective of their nesting areas.
At Howey Pest Solutions, we provide safe and effective stinging insect treatments throughout Sussex, Morris, Warren, and parts of Passaic County. Our licensed technicians identify the type of stinging insect, locate the nest when possible, and apply the correct treatment for the situation.

Please do not attempt to knock down, spray, or disturb an active wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket nest before service. Disturbing the nest can make the insects more aggressive and increase the risk of stings.

Wasp & Hornet FAQs
Do you remove the nest?
If the nest is safely accessible, we will remove it when possible. Some nests, such as ground nests or wall void nests, may not be physically removable.
How long does it take for activity to stop?
Most activity decreases within 24–48 hours. Some returning insects may still come back to the treated area briefly after service.
Should I spray the nest before you arrive?
No. Spraying or disturbing the nest can make the insects more aggressive and may make treatment more difficult.
Can you treat nests inside walls or attics?
Yes. We treat wall void and attic nests when accessible and safe. Attic treatments have a $250 + tax minimum.
Are yellow jackets more aggressive than wasps?
Yellow jackets can be very aggressive, especially later in the season or when their nest is disturbed.
Do you treat honey bees?
No. We do not treat honey bees. We recommend contacting a local beekeeper for honey bee concerns.
Do you offer free inspections?
Yes. We offer free pest inspections and quotes for residential and commercial customers.
