Wasps & Bees in Westchester County
Westchester County homeowners commonly encounter yellow jackets (ground nests, wall voids, eaves — aggressive when disturbed), paper wasps (open-comb nests on eaves/railings), and occasional honeybee swarms on trees or structures. Honeybees can sometimes be relocated; yellow jackets require elimination.
Westchester County's wooded communities — Scarsdale, Chappaqua, Armonk, Pleasantville, and Pound Ridge — feature mature trees and older homes with soffits, attic vents, and wall voids that are prime nesting sites for yellow jackets and paper wasps. Aerial hornet nests in trees adjacent to homes are common throughout the county's heavily landscaped neighborhoods. Yellow jacket populations peak August-September, reaching 1,000+ workers per colony.
How We Treat Wasp & Bee Removal in Westchester County
- Yellow jacket nest treatment — Soil injection for ground nests or void injection for nests in walls and soffits. Kills the entire colony in 24-48 hours.
- Paper wasp nest knockdown — Direct nest treatment followed by residual application to prevent recolonization of the same site.
- Honeybee swarm capture/relocation — When honeybees are accessible on trees or structures, we contact local beekeepers who can safely relocate colonies rather than exterminate them.
- Preventive sealing — Closing eave gaps, soffit vents, and foundation openings to prevent future nesting by yellow jackets and wasps.

How do I know if I have bees or yellow jackets in Westchester County?
Yellow jackets are smaller, banded black/yellow, aggressive, and nest in ground, walls, and eaves. Honeybees are fatter, fuzzier, less aggressive, and usually swarm on tree branches or structures. Paper wasps have long legs and open-comb nests. Identification determines treatment.
Can honeybees be removed without exterminating them?
Sometimes. Accessible swarms on tree branches can be relocated by local beekeepers. Wall voids and hidden colonies are difficult to relocate safely and usually require treatment. We assess each situation.
When is yellow jacket season in Westchester County?
Colonies grow spring through late summer, peaking August-September when colonies can exceed 1,000 workers. New queens overwinter in protected areas and start new colonies in spring. Late summer is the most dangerous time.
