One of the many services our District provides is the control of in-ground yellowjacket nests. This year we have responded to over 4,131 calls for nest eradication- a nearly 165% increase from last year at the same time! Although we are receiving a record number of calls for service, many residents are still having issues with yellowjackets on their property because they can’t seem to find the nest.
Once you find the underground nest, mark it so that it can be easily refound by one of our technicians, and call our office at 707-285-2200 or submit a service request online. Remember, we only treat underground yellowjacket nests and we do it for free! If you find a structural nest (one that is attached to a structure or in the wall of a structure) contact your local pest control operator.
Yellowjackets can become extremely aggressive when you approach their nest, so be extra cautious when placing the marker. You do not have to place the marker next to the nest—it can be placed in the general vicinity as long as we have clear instructions on the location. The most important thing is to not place anything in or on top of the nest…
