As fall sets in across New Jersey, stinging insects like yellowjackets, hornets, and wasps become more aggressive, putting families, pets, and businesses at risk. At Action Termite and Pest Control, we’ve seen firsthand how dangerous these pests can be when their food sources dwindle and their colonies reach peak size. Our licensed technicians know exactly how to keep your home safe during this high-risk season.
Why Stinging Insects Are a Big Problem in the Fall
Throughout the summer, stinging insects build nests and expand their colonies. By September and October, food becomes scarce, and these pests turn to backyards, trash cans, and even your outdoor gatherings in search of sugar and protein. With colonies at their largest, they become extremely protective of their nests and will sting repeatedly if disturbed.
That’s why fall is one of the most dangerous times of year for stinging insect encounters in Ocean, Monmouth, Camden, and Gloucester Counties and throughout New Jersey.
The Risks You Face
-
Painful, Repeated Stings – Unlike honeybees, wasps and yellowjackets can sting multiple times.
-
Serious Allergic Reactions – A single sting can send those with allergies to the emergency room.
-
Aggressive Behavior – Hungry and territorial insects are more likely to swarm if you get too close to their nest.
At Action, we take these threats seriously and respond quickly to protect your family, customers, and property.
