Yellow jacket populations grow throughout spring and peak in late summer. Unfortunately, this means their nests could be hiding in tall grass, under porch awnings, and anywhere else on, or near, your property. Because the insects attack with little provocation, you should always call a pest control specialist for help. 

Top 3 Reasons to Hire Pest Control Pros for Yellow Jacket Removal

1. Knowledge of Insect Behavior

Yellow jackets are highly protective of their nests. If they sense disturbance, a swarm will attack. Pest control technicians are trained in best practices to remove the insects without provoking their aggression. The exterminators also know yellow jackets love to dine on spiders, caterpillars, and additional insects. They will take appropriate measures to remove these creatures, thereby ridding the area of the yellow jackets’ food source. 

2. Proper Safety Equipment

Getting stung by yellow jackets can be life-threatening. Each one has the ability to sting multiple times and will chase their victims for large distances. Because they often build their homes in rodent holes, the insects can get under pant legs and loose fabric. Pest control technicians wear protective helmets, gloves, and additional gear to prevent the insects from penetrating their skin. 

3. Expert Advice

Your behavior has a huge impact on whether yellow jackets will take up residence on your property. After removing the bugs, pest control technicians will provide tips to keep the insect from coming back, including what plants to avoid and how to properly discard of trash.
