Pest Control Tips
To prevent accidental Yellow Jacket stings:
When working in a garden or flowerbed, be aware of numerous wasps flying into and away from a single point in the garden or to a hole in the side of the house. This will usually indicate a colony.
Be careful when using powered lawn equipment, such as edgers, trimmers, and mowers. Loud, vibrating noises disturb yellow jackets and may send them into an attacking frenzy.
Stay away from yellow jacket nests once you know where they are located.
If yellow jackets are seen entering and exiting a wall, DO NOT plug the hole. You will only forces the wasps to find another way out. Sometimes they might actually eat through an interior wall and enter the house.
