Yeah, yellowjacket season is definitely here. We’ve had plenty of them to deal with lately.
Ground nests like this one can be tricky because you may never see the nest itself. All you might notice is yellowjackets coming and going from a small hole in the ground, often hidden in grass, landscaping, or an old animal burrow.
Late summer and early fall is when colonies are at their largest and activity really picks up. If you notice a steady stream of yellowjackets heading into one spot in the yard, you’ve probably found their front door.
Keep an eye out while mowing and working around the yard. Finding the nest early can save you from an unpleasant surprise.
