Yellow Jackets: What you need to know

Identifying Characteristics

Yellow Jackets are typically a ½ inch in length
They are bright yellow with thin black stripes
Their nests are found in cavities of trees, buildings, and homes but can also create ground nests
They enter and exit their nests similar to planes at a very active airport

Active Season

Most Yellow Jacket nests in the northeast are active from June through October
Their nest populations will easily reach into the thousands

Interesting Facts

Many other insects mimic Yellow Jackets in color and pattern to scare off predators
Underground nests tend to be repurposed animal burrows
Never swat at a Yellow Jacket as this will increase your chances of being stung

Cause for Concern

When building nests in the voids of a house they will tend to destroy part of the ceiling or wall in the process; in many cases the weight of the nest will collapse a ceiling or wall
They can produce a repeated and painful sting
