I live in an old ranch house in South Texas. My grandparents always used yellow jackets as a security deterrent. We always had nests on the windows and they come back every year to them. I have a few nests as pets.
I've seen alot of them in Colorado in 2 of my trees plus they come by my back door in my trailer they will kill me and nuttin for my 2 service dogs either
There's a video of a guy putting meat on a board and a glass pan underneath with water and dish soap. Nothing else. He nailed the meat to the board and put the boards upside down (meat side down) on the glass pan. Just sit them overtop. The yellowjackets go to the meat and get a bite and fly downward and hit the water, which kills them. I wonder if you could use those packets and nail them or tape them somehow to the board instead of wasting meat.
I've used bits of plain vienna sausages in hornet and wasp traps after a fellow beekeeper and mentor showed me how well they worked as bait and they're super cheap to buy.
That was not nice to say yellow jackets are worthless they in fact will keep your yard balanced with killing black widows and the fiddle spiders when they are young even your baby won’t die from a yellow jacket sting but the fiddle spider will kill your angel . I got to get rid of a nest in my travel trailer but respect their part to a balanced outdoor😊
You said that yellow jackets are no good for anything. That is not correct, they are the gardener's friend as they eat a lot of aphids and other bugs - that's their main source of protein.
Before the invention of suitable pesticides, gardeners use to hang out strips of meat to encourage them into the garden. Yellow jackets take the meat to their larva who excretes a sugary solution which the yellow jackets eat. In the fall the number of larva decrease - no sugar for the yellow jackets, hence they go looking for it in other sources e.g. honey, ripe fruit.
I do not like yellow jackets, I had a bad allergic reaction to a sting and the ones around where I live are very aggressive. They try to keep me from my own patio not to mention there are so many that they terrorize the hummingbirds. I try to keep bait in areas away from my outdoor area to try to keep them at bay but it's hard.
Yes! So smart. Thank you
Right on Dave, yellow jackets are nothing but a-holes! Semper Fi
Thank you for this information.
I agree I got stung standing in my driveway not moving waiting for my dog!
I’ve seen lots more yellow jackets, in Kentucky, this year than normal.

We have better technology now if you want to avoid them.

Yes I'm aware of that but they're not hurting anyone out here.
Nothing like stinging bees to keep unwanted guests away.
Nice! That's using the KISS principle.
The Bible details where God used them in one battle to drive away the enemies of the Israelites.
Yellow jackets live in the ground. I could be wrong . Wasps and hornets have nests

Wow, I can’t believe you smashed them with your hand! They terrify me. Thanks for the tips
Could one use chicken broth or beef broth in a bag trap?

I’ve gotten bit twice in the arm in my arm, swells and my hand
😄🤣 I like how you expected a flow of comments.
I saw some yellow and black coloured mantis like big flying insects, they were long, not yellow jackets.
I always thought those were a type of wasp, but I've had a major problem with them this year. As well as hive beetles....ugh...

Ive never seen them in my garden lol.

Another pestilence from Pandora's box !! Worthless is right !!
Humans aren't good for the planet either lol. Good thing we're the dominant species.
Thats why they created the jab. To reduce the population.
@@davidhaught84 there's too many humans taking over the natural earth that will eventually destroy ourselves.
