Organic Stinging Pest Removal
Who we are
Norman Patterson Jr., the founder of The YellowJacket Expert, has been working with stinging insects most of his life. His curiosity began when he found a natural bee colony in the woods behind his house when he was a boy. Through beekeeping, he learned about collecting yellowjackets, hornets, and wasps for medical labs. The labs need venom for sting allergy patients. Norman has been working with stinging insects, in one form or another, for well over 50 years.
Norman began training his son when Josiah was 8 years old. Josiah, now 25, is a YellowJacket Expert in his own right with 17 years of experience under his belt.
The YellowJacket Expert provides organic and all-natural services to private homes, schools, businesses, and commercial properties. We are known for our safe and effective removal of stinging insects. Our clients are located throughout Connecticut, as well as neighboring parts of New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. We give personalized quality service to those who entrust their homes and properties to us. We take great pride in our work, ensuring that we are able to solve your stinging insect issues in the fastest and safest manner possible.
Because the insects we remove are often used for sting allergy patients, we cannot and do not use any pesticides, poisons, and chemicals. We have invented proprietary and innovated organic and all-natural methods to safely remove stinging insects from people’s property. Because of our medical association, we are NOT exterminators. If at all possible, we remove stinging insects alive and freeze them for medical purposes.
We care about each and every person that hires us and personalize each removal according to the needs of the homeowner, school, or business. Because we use only organic and all-natural methods, we carefully assess each situation and design a time-tested solution that is unique for each situation.
We organically remove mainly yellowjackets, hornets, and wasps. If at all possible, we relocate honeybees and often give them to beekeepers. We also have solutions for carpenter bees.

What Makes us Unique
There are three things that make the YellowJacket Expert unique; our commitment to discovering and implementing organic and all-natural methods of removal of stinging insects, our desire to educate people concerning prevention, and our commitment to providing venom to medical labs for sting allergy patients.
We are at the cutting edge of organic and all-natural removal of stinging insects. Companies are imitating our techniques and we freely share our knowledge because we care about people and the environment.
We take time to educate homeowners and businesses with the knowledge they need to understand and prevent stinging insects. We offer honest information that people can use for the rest of their life. We educate homeowners on prevention, what is safe to do yourself, what you should leave to the Expert, and how to find nests before they become troublesome. We believe “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Finally, we collect stinging insects for 7 different medical labs. While the homeowner, school, or business benefit from our organic removal, we also have sting allergy patients in mind. They need venom for immunotherapy of sting allergies. Hence, here at the YellowJacket Expert, we use approved medical lab removal techniques that do not involve CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, or POISONS OF ANY KIND.

“Mr. Patterson supplies these and other wasps to medical labs, which harvest their venom and use it to create immunizations for people who are allergic to stings. So he captures the bugs alive, usually with a vacuum. If he finds a nest full of larvae, he will take them home and raise them before shipping them off.”
We have been featured in the following media and news publications...
We remove ball-shaped hornet nests that form on eves of houses, bushes, and trees. These nests are usually visible and resemble a large gray paper ball. These can be tricky to remove when they are built high above the ground.
carpenter bees
Carpenter Bees are relatively harmless as far as stinging insects go. However, they are ruining your soffits and fascia boards. Many people call us saying they have woodpeckers pounding on their house and ruining their trim. They actually have a Carpenter Bee problem.
YellowJackets have a tendency to build their nests in the ground. These nests are often hidden and unfortunately many folks come across these nests while mowing their lawns or gardening. Yellowjackets are highly aggressive and these hidden nests can be very dangerous when they are stumbled upon.
inspections
We come to your home and go through every nook and cranny where queens are establishing nests. We know their nesting habits and where they like to hide, such as soffits, gutters, playground equipment, grills, and more. We look for new wasp nests and remove the queens and the nests. We look for new hornet nests that are forming on your house. We also look for potential problem areas and make suggestions of how you can reduce your chances of getting nests in the future...
Unique, in that they are now in your space, these nests are the most frightening for many of our customers. YellowJackets do sometimes chew through sheetrock and break themselves into homes.
consultation
We offer free advice and consultations to customers who are looking to hire us for our service.
“One can no more approach people without love, than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees...”
