Carpet Hiding a Yellow Jacket Nest

Imagine it’s trash day and you are about to bring the rolled up carpet padding down to the road. You carelessly pick up the carpet not thinking anything about it when all of a sudden, BAM! You get absolutely tattooed by a nest of yellow jackets.

This almost happened to a client of ours in West Chester PA. We had just finished treating and removing a large yellow jacket nest in the backyard when I noticed some other yellow jackets hovering around some old, rolled up carpet. This rolled up carpet was from a prior renovation and was staged to be put in the trash.

As soon as I moved the top roll of carpet, a bunch of yellow jackets erupted from the pile. I was still wearing my bee suit, so I hit “play” on the camera and was able to capture the treatment.

We ALWAYS check around the property for other pest issues before we leave a job. This ensures we do not miss other big pest issues. Thankfully we spotted this nest and were able to treat and remove it before anyone was hurt.
