Yellow jackets and wasps

Yellow jackets and paper wasps are highly active during the summer, and their colonies can grow rapidly. The cycle begins in early spring when fertilized queens emerge from overwintering sites like woodpiles, tree bark, stumps, and attics. Each queen builds a small paper nest and begins laying eggs.

By late summer, new queens and males are produced for mating. After mating, males die and fertilized queens seek shelter to overwinter, starting the cycle again the following spring.

Understanding this life cycle is key to effective control. Early intervention helps prevent nests from reaching full size and becoming a bigger hazard later in the season.
