Yellowjackets taking over the yard or doorway?

If they keep disappearing into the same hole, there’s probably a nest nearby. Stay back, keep everyone away from the spot and give us a call.

Don’t plug the hole.

If the nest is active, blocking the entrance may send yellowjackets looking for another way out.

Where are they going?

Into the ground

Watch for steady traffic into a small hole near the lawn, garden edge, stump or old animal burrow.

Into the house

They may use a gap in the siding, trim, utility line or roof. Don’t seal it while they’re still active.

Around food or trash

Yellowjackets also show up around garbage, fallen fruit, outdoor meals and sweet drinks. The nest may be somewhere else.

For now, play it safe

  • Keep children and pets away from the flight path.
  • Don’t mow, dig or hit the area around the nest.
  • Remember the exact hole or gap they’re using.
  • Have your ZIP code ready when you call.

If someone has trouble breathing or swelling around the face or throat, call 911.
