Yellow jackets are aggressive wasps that nest in the ground, walls, and structures and will sting repeatedly when disturbed. XtermaPro removes yellow jacket nests safely and effectively.
Yellow jackets are medium-sized (12–15mm), bright yellow and black wasps that are commonly mistaken for bees. Unlike bees, they are smooth, fast, and extremely aggressive when their nest is threatened. They nest in the ground, in wall voids, attics, and beneath deck boards making them especially hazardous to encounter unexpectedly.
Yellow jacket warning signs:
Yellow jackets can sting repeatedly and do not lose their stinger like honeybees. For those with allergies, a yellow jacket encounter can cause anaphylaxis. Even without an allergy, multiple stings from an agitated colony can cause serious reactions. Ground nests are particularly dangerous as they can be stumbled upon accidentally.
Yellow jacket treatment requires direct nest treatment not just perimeter spraying. Our technicians apply professional insecticide directly into the nest entrance at the optimal time, neutralizing the colony. For in-wall nests, we may need to access the void to ensure complete elimination.
