I ran over a nest with my lawnmower a couple weeks ago. Fortunately they attacked the lawn mower and I was able to just walk away. Lawnmower did not seem too traumatized by the experience.
It is hard to sit on my back deck this time of year with any kind of drink or food. They crawl right into my beer glass.
Little arseholes with stripes. Ours are paper wasps out here and they love to get into any enclosed area when it gets cold. Open a disconnect box and there’s liable to be several hundred in there. I get hit several times a year by the little bastards, I hate them.
It used to be that way around my house at this time of year but I almost never see a yellowjacket now. This is farm country, I wonder if the insecticides have killed them off.
