Yellow Jackets Control & Protection Services

What Attracts Yellow Jackets?

Several factors can draw yellow jackets to your property. If left unchanged, these can lead to an infestation that can harm you, your loved ones, your pets, or your neighbors.

Open trash containers: Yellow jackets like to hang out around trash, which often has meat, fruit, or sweet treats in it.
Bright colors: Wasps love bright colors, like those found on flowers or outdoor decorations. Your house's color may also attract them if it's particularly vibrant.
Pet food: Wasps can feed off pet food, which can become especially important during the fall when food in the wild states becomes scarce.

Common Questions About Yellow Jackets

Yellow jackets can be highly dangerous, making it essential to call a professional wasp exterminator to remove their hive from your property. Yellow jackets are highly aggressive and prone to stinging. They can quickly kill someone who is allergic to them, while a large swarm can even kill a nonallergic adult. Their stingers may also carry germs from garbage, causing infection.

Some steps to preventing yellow jacket infestations on your property include covering garbage cans and emptying them frequently. You can also grow aromatic plants that naturally repel yellow jackets, such as thyme or eucalyptus. Sealing areas of your home that might harbor a yellow jacket nest can also keep them from establishing a colony on your property.

Yellow jackets can be dangerous to deal with alone without the proper protection. Additionally, though yellow jackets can be harmful to humans, they can be beneficial to the environment. A professional wasp exterminator can safely remove them from your property and even relocate them to an area where they can help local wildlife.

Tips for Preventing Yellow Jackets

Keep your food and garbage covered and properly disposed of.
Avoid leaving food and especially sweet drinks out in the open.
Seal up any cracks or gaps in your home's exterior to prevent yellow jackets from getting inside.
Avoid wearing sweet-smelling perfumes or lotions when spending time outdoors.
Keep your outdoor spaces clean and free of clutter, such as piles of leaves or brush.
