Stinging insect removal in Dyker Heights: what to know
Dyker Heights is a relatively low-density neighbourhood of detached and semi-detached one- and two-family homes with gardens — a suburban-style housing stock that brings more ant, stinging-insect and occasional-invader pressure than denser Brooklyn neighbourhoods, with yards and mature trees providing nesting sites.
The 13th Avenue and 86th Street commercial strips anchor food-retail activity that drives rodent pressure into the surrounding residential streets; older homes with basements adjacent to these corridors are most vulnerable.

How we treat stinging insect removal in Dyker Heights
An active wasp or hornet nest near a doorway, window or walkway is a genuine hazard — especially for anyone with an allergy. Yellow jackets and hornets are aggressive when their nest is disturbed, and DIY removal often triggers exactly that.
We locate and safely eliminate the nest, including nests tucked into wall voids, eaves, soffits and high on buildings, then remove or treat it so the colony doesn't rebuild. Because active nests are dangerous, we treat them as a priority.
