How To Get Rid Of Yellow Jackets In TN | All-American Pest Control

What are yellow jackets?

Yellow jackets are social insects that live and work together, gathering food for the colony.

Their colonies can become very large, sometimes having more than 4,000 workers associated with a single colony.

Adult workers are about 3/8th to 5/8th of an inch in length and have six legs and antennae.

They have a black head and face, and a yellow and black patterned abdomen.

Yellow jackets are found invading homes and other buildings all across the United States.

Are yellow jackets dangerous?

Yes. Yellow jackets will defend their nests and territory by delivering painful stings. Each yellow jacket can sting multiple times. The venom from a yellow jacket’s sting can trigger severe allergic reactions in some people which could lead to serious health problems and immediate medical attention.

Why do I have a yellow jacket problem?

Yellow jackets colonies are at their highest numbers in the late summer and early fall. They feed on sweets and proteins and can become quite a nuisance at outdoor events like festivals, picnics, and BBQs. They typically nest in the ground but will also nest under the eaves of homes, behind wall voids, and in attics, which can lead to serious infestations.
