YELLOW JACKETS AND HORNETS

While bees can be bothersome and dangerous to those with allergies, the owners of homes and other standing structures may want to be more wary of Yellow Jackets and Hornets.

Both of these types of wasps can be very aggressive when they feel they’re in danger. To make matters worse, both often build their nests in or around homes and other structures which are near sources of water and food.  You may assume that a wasp’s nest would be relatively noticeable in one’s home. However, Yellow Jackets typically build their nests beneath the ground. This means an infestation can go unnoticed for a long period of time, and may only become apparent after serious damage has already been inflicted. These nests that consist of long networks of tunnels in the ground, can lead to collapses in the affected areas. If they’re located under a sidewalk or patio, you might be looking at some expensive restoration costs.

Hornets, on the other hand, typically build their nests in more visible areas. Their large grayish-brown nests have a single opening, but if threatened, they can release an attack pheromone that mobilizes the entire nest to defend itself with painful stings.
