YellowJacket nest the size of a 55 Chevy

Don’t miss the video, either.

This is insane. I thought it was bad when I had a nest in my side-yard last summer the size of a softball. whenever I’d go to mow the grass in the area, the vibrations from the mower would irritate the yellowjackets and then when I’d get under the trees, they would go right for my face. I put up traps, tried ton of other things, but after mentioning the issue to my exterminator during his regular visit, they disappeared. I’m glad he took care of that. Well, glad isn’t really the word.

We’ve had really really mild winters for several years. I’m trying to recall the last good, hard freeze, and it’s got to be at least 10 years ago. When I mention this to people in conversation, they generally disagree, especially when I put it to them that the bug population will get out of control. maybe one day before long, we’ll be piping cold weather in from somewhere northward. …but what would we send in return?
