Some nests are in the wall. We don't have to take it out of the wall every time, there are a few factors to consider. When the Yellow Jackets chew on the drywall, it becomes soft and necessary to open up the wall and remove the nest. This is a very dangerous maneuver. Do not attempt it yourself.
Figure 3
This is a typical two-by-four studded wall. Looking closer you'll see they ran out of room in the wall. This is the main reason they ate through this time.
Figure 4
Like typical Paper Nest Building types, the cream colored larvae grow up in the cells, the cells get a white cap over, then the larvae mutate and chew their way out as adults.
There can be ten or more layers in a nest, so you can see how this could be a big problem.
Figure 5
The insulation was removed to get to the nest. You're looking at part of the nest resting on top of the drywall ceiling. You can see the light colored line of the drywall edge of where they've been chewing the ceiling and got through.
Figure 6
A close up clearly shows that they've chewed completely through the drywall ceiling.
This is more common than you'd like to think. If you think you have a nest inside you'd better do something before they eat through. Call Sergio’s right away.
Yellow Jacket Conclusions
- Yellow Jackets eat through ceilings and walls and come into homes unless stopped.
- Taking the nest out is the best option to assure a complete and quick kill, also leaving a large nest could leave large amounts of dead larvae rotting.
- Do-it-yourselfers attempting to handle one of these themselves take great chances, and rarely get the complete results we get immediately.
- If you hear noises in the walls or ceiling or suddenly notice a new stain, call us right away.
