Yellow Jacket Removal

When dealing with Yellow Jackets keep this in mind:

  • They build their nests in a variety of locations depending on what species of Yellow Jacket they are.
  • They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will defend their nests relentlessly.
  • They are responsible for a large number of stinging attacks on human beings and domestic animals every year.
  • They are difficult to exterminate and keep under control during the process, and very often, common bee sprays are ineffective in eliminating them.

Let's take a look at the different species of Yellow Jackets commonly found in Florida:
 
 
First we have the Eastern Yellow Jacket, Vespula Maculifrons:

Notice the smooth hairless body of the Eastern Yellow Jacket. This is a clear indication of what type of Yellow Jacket it is. These insects will always build their nests underground. They generally have small nests with only one queen and are rarely a problem unless disturbed directly. They do however demand respect, but they're nothing compared to our next most common Yellow Jacket found in Florida.

 

 

The Southern Yellow Jacket, Vespula Squamosa. Let's take a look:

Notice the hairs covering the body of this insect, a dead give away that it is in fact a Southern Yellow Jacket.  These are the stinging insects to pay attention to. They have very strong mandibles that allow them to chew through wood to build their nests. We have seen these nests in walls, attics and trees. They will, however build under ground. Their nests can be massive with some reports in Florida of nests exceeding six feet in length. The nests contain dozens, sometime hundreds of queens- all laying eggs, building their population. These insects are highly aggressive, and when provoked will sting relentlessly. Do not attempt to handle these Yellow Jackets by yourself. You may onle see a few of them on the outside of their nest, but inside their could be thousands.
