Often confused with bees because of their black and yellow coloring, Yellow Jackets are far more dangerous!  These noisy nuisances are extremely aggressive and often attack without being provoked.  How rude!

Do not swat at a yellow jacket!  These vicious villains feed off of your aggression and will attack if you do.  Unlike bees, yellow jackets do not lose their stingers and can actually sting and bite their victims multiple times!

FREAKY FACT:  Smashing a yellow jacket releases a “warning” pheromone to alert other yellow jackets to attack!  With nests containing 400-5000 angry yellow jackets, this is not a flying army that you want coming after you!
