  • Remove any food sources from your yard. Wasps and yellow jackets are attracted to sweet things, so its important to keep food and garbage in sealed containers.
  • Avoid wearing bright colors when youre outdoors. Wasps and yellow jackets are attracted to bright colors, so its best to wear neutral colors when youre working or playing in your yard.
  • If you see a nest, dont try to remove it yourself. Wasps and yellow jackets can be aggressive, so its best to call a professional pest control company to remove the nest for you.
Here are some additional tips:
  • Plant wasp-repelling plants in your yard. Some plants that wasps don’t like include lavender, mint, and marigolds.
  • Use a wasp trap. Wasp traps can be a helpful way to capture and kill wasps.
  • Be aware of the signs of a wasp nest. If you see a group of wasps flying in and out of a hole in your home or yard, it;s a good indication that theres a nest nearby.
By following these tips, you can help to keep your home and yard free of wasps, yellow jackets, and carpenter bees.
