When it comes to treating or preventing wasp and yellow jacket nests in your yard, knowing key differences is important.

You might think that this is a wonderful time to enjoy working and playing outside – and you’re not the only one. Wasps also find these warmer days an invitation to fly around your yard.

How to get rid of yellowjackets remains a mystery for most people, perhaps because it is hard to find out that the problem is yours.

Sometimes what we don’t know can hurt us, and in the subject of wasps and yellow jackets, we find a case where this is too true.

If you’ve noticed a wasp or two buzzing by your head, don’t panic – just yet. This is the time of year when queen wasps emerge from hibernation and begin to form a colony.
