Perhaps when you think of outdoor bugs and outdoor insect control, mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, and fire ants come to mind. Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets – well, we often don’t consider them until we encounter them. The problem with yellow jackets is that they are defensive attackers, often remaining out of sight, out of mind. Until they’re not. Mosquito Squad of Austin’s pest control for yellow jackets outside can help you avoid unwanted encounters.
Why Don’t We See Yellow Jackets All the Time?
Many species of yellow jackets are ground nesting varieties. If they’re nesting around your property, unbothered, you might never know they’re there. Additionally, yellow jackets are more active later in the summer and into autumn, unlike many of their outdoor pest counterparts.
The problem is that yellow jackets are angry, aggressive stingers. If you happen to walk on their nest or mow over top of them, they will come out stinging. That’s bad for you and your family members, including pets. And unlike other stinging insects, yellow jackets will sting multiple times in one single encounter!
Why Are Yellow Jackets Worse in Late Summer and Autumn?
During the summer months, yellow jackets are busy bees indeed. They are less apt to come into your personal spaces earlier in the season, as food sources are more plentiful. As the season dwindles, so too do their sugary food sources. They will invade your outdoor spaces if sugary drinks and food waste are around. Keep those areas clean, free of food waste, and dispose of food containers in sealed bags and receptacles.
Why is Yellow Jacket Control for Outside Important?
For just the reasons stated above. Families will go about their day as if there aren’t nasty yellow jacket nests lurking in their yards, just ripe for an encounter. Especially during the late summer and fall seasons, Austin residents ought to hit these nasty pests head-on. Don’t wait for a stinging event to seek help. Don’t wait – because you don’t have to!
