Wasp and hornet removal near Rentschler Field, where the open ground of East Hartford's former airfield now supports the grass and tree cover colonies favor.
Call (844) 924-1337The airfield that once served Pratt and Whitney's aircraft engine testing became Rentschler Field stadium, and the open, tree lined ground around it and similar East Hartford properties gives yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald faced hornets plenty of room to build nests through the summer. A colony started in June keeps growing steadily until it peaks right around the first cold snap of autumn.
Yellowjackets that settle into a ground burrow or a gap in a wall get noticeably pushier once fall arrives and food outdoors dries up, drifting toward picnic trash and dropped fruit instead. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in East Hartford and check service availability.

It depends on the species and where the nest is located, but generally involves treating the nest directly with the right product and protective equipment, then removing it once activity has stopped. Because stinging insects can react defensively, this is usually safer left to a professional, especially for larger or hard-to-reach nests.
Most wasp colonies die off over winter, and an old nest is typically abandoned by the workers that built it. An empty-looking nest may still require assessment; if activity is uncertain, keep your distance and ask about inspection before disturbing it.
Paper wasp nests are often smaller and more exposed, commonly found under eaves or overhangs, but they can still sting if disturbed. Treating the nest directly and removing it once activity stops is the general approach, ideally handled by someone with proper protective equipment.
Locating the nest is the first step, since treating individual wasps without addressing the nest usually just means more show up. Species identification and nest location help determine the appropriate removal approach; avoid disturbing an active nest.
