Yellowjackets drinking from my pool

those are workers, they are disposable. Got to find the nest. Good luck them sumbitches are mean and always angry

if they are yellowjackets they make a paper nest similar to a wasp nest. It could be anywhere but I promise you when you find it, you’ll know

if they are ground hornets they’ll be in a burrow or under a stump. Look around any stumps, brush piles, etc.

Either way you’ll see them buzzing around the nest area, coming and going.

broadcast spray isn’t going to get it done. You have to spray the nest

These are ground hornets, not European paper wasps. We have those too but they’re easy to kill.
They don’t get me maybe because I run like a girl but they sting the wife just for fun.
Guess I’m going nest hunting again but no luck so far. Can they go 100+ yards and across a major road for water or more likely in the commercial properties just across the fence?

If they aren’t on your property, I wouldn’t worry about them…if they are on your property, you will find them when you cut grass. Don’t waste your Talstar.


When you eventually find the hole, slip up on it at night and pour a coke bottle full of gasoline in it. You will never see another one from that nest.

They don’t nest in my property but they continue to spend time here and sting people. I have a gallon of talstar. I’d spray the entire neighborhood if it’d help. I can see them fly to the commercial properties adjacent to my pool, but haven’t been able to track them from there.
I know I can get permission to drench said properties with talstar but apparently I have to find the nest in which case I don’t even care about permission. Was really wondering if a good spray over there would get them, or if maybe they’re coming from further away.

catch one and tie a little tiny ribbon to it and watch it go back to the nest.

That’s old school. Try apple air tags on a couple.

Dude, it's hot out. They're more interested in water than stinging you.

Yep, bees are at my birdbaths.

For me it is wasps. I must kill 8-10 every time I get in my pool.
