Though Yellow Jackets are good for our environment, they pose a threat to our health. If a Yellow Jacket nest is located too close to a building, house or park, the nest must be removed. The best time for treatment is at night, with a bee-suit being worn by the person removing the nest. Several call-back appointments should be made to ensure the nest will not be rebuilt. While the nest is being removed no bystanders should be near by as these Yellow Jackets will swarm everything and everyone when their home is being destroyed!
