It is important to know the difference between a Yellowjacket and a Hornet. The habits and
levels of aggressiveness are very different. That is why it is important to seek help from a
professional to identify your pest to know what type of control needs to be assed.
Yellowjackets are very territorial. If any areas to their nests are disturbed the will become very
aggressive and can sting multiple times. Some people have severe allergic reactions to their
venom and could become hypersensitive to them after being stung which can cause problems
in the future with Yellowjacket stings.
Yellowjackets typically build their nests underground in cool dark places. They are attracted to
meat and sweets.
