Why Kensington Has a Yellow Jackets Problem
Kensington's tree-lined streets and proximity to Prospect Park create ideal conditions for yellow jacket nests in eaves, soffits, and underground burrows common in the neighborhood's older properties. The area's mix of pre-war buildings and residential gardens along Caton Avenue and Ditmas Avenue frequently attract these aggressive wasps, making professional removal essential for community safety.
Why Choose Us for Yellow Jacket Removal in Kensington
Yellow jackets are the most aggressive stinging insect in the Northeast and their ground nests, wall voids, and aerial nests require different treatment approaches. For ground nests — the most common type — we apply insecticide dust directly into the entrance at dusk when workers are inside and the colony is least active, achieving full penetration through the tunnel system to reach the queen. Wall void and aerial nests receive dust injection or foam treatment through small drilled access points when direct nest access isn't possible. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-treatment if yellow jacket activity continues after treatment, and we advise on nest removal timing once the colony is confirmed eliminated.
