For anyone else that hates yellow jackets, hanging yellow jacket traps early in the year will help catch queens and reduce their overall population for the year. My 2 traps caught 13 this year.

I will have to remember that next year. I just (hopefully) eliminated a nest along my front walkway. I usually get stung at least once every fall (that seems to be when they are most agressive) usually in the leg or foot and I'll swell up to to the point I can't wear a shoe for a few days.

I got rid of my annual plague of yellow jackets by replacing the rotting wood roof shingles with asphalt shingles. I wish I'd known about that years earlier!

(Yellow jackets love to nest in rotting wood.)
