Yellowjackets Control
Vespula
Yellowjackets are highly aggressive, social wasps known for their distinctive yellow and black markings. They often nest in the ground or in wall voids.
How to Identify Yellowjackets
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Yellowjackets have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- About 1/2 inch long
- Alternating yellow and black bands on the abdomen
- Fly rapidly side-to-side before landing
- Often scavenge for food at picnics and around garbage
Are Yellowjackets Dangerous?
Yellowjackets are very territorial and aggressive. They will vigorously defend their nest, stinging multiple times. They are a major hazard during late summer and fall.
Why Do I Have Yellowjackets?
They seek out existing cavities for nesting, such as old rodent burrows in the ground, hollow trees, or voids in building walls.
