Yellowjacket Removal & Entomology
Yellowjackets are aggressive wasps known for their bright yellow and black markings, rapid flight patterns, and painful stings. Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times and are highly defensive of their nests, making removal a hazardous task best handled by professionals.
Understanding Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets (Vespula spp. and Dolichovespula spp.) are social insects that build nests from chewed wood fibers, often found underground, inside wall voids, or in aerial locations like tree branches and eaves. Their colonies grow rapidly in warm months, peaking in late summer when worker wasps become more aggressive in search of food. They are beneficial pollinators but are also drawn to human food sources, making them a common nuisance at outdoor gatherings.
Safe & Effective Yellowjacket Removal
Attempting to remove a yellowjacket nest without proper protection and expertise can lead to serious stings and injuries.
