✅ Eastern Yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons)

The most common wasp in New Jersey, especially in towns like Morristown, Dover, and Sparta. These aggressive ground-nesting insects are active from spring through fall and often build colonies in lawns, wall voids, and foundations. Known for defending their nests fiercely, professional removal is essential for safety.

✅ Paper Wasp (Polistes fuscatus)

Frequently found in Denville, Randolph, and Newton. Paper wasps construct open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and porch ceilings. While less aggressive than yellowjackets, they will sting when threatened, especially in late summer when colonies peak.

✅ Bald-Faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)

Common throughout Jefferson, Mount Olive, and Andover. Despite their name, these are technically wasps. They build large, gray, paper nests in trees, shrubs, or near buildings. Their painful sting and territorial behavior make professional removal necessary.

✅ European Hornet (Vespa crabro)

Often found in Mendham, Hopatcong, and Rockaway. The largest wasp species in New Jersey, European hornets nest in hollow trees, attics, and wall voids. They’re nocturnal foragers attracted to light and can cause property damage by stripping bark from trees to build their nests.
