Yellow jackets are most commonly known for their yellow and black striped bodies. Wasps have 2 sets of wings and 6 legs. They have antennae and "pinched-in" or hourglass waists. They also have chewing mouthparts (mandibles) to chew prey and other food sources. Female wasps have stingers (ovipositors) which are used to lay eggs. They will also use the ovipositor to sting when threatened.
Wasps are notorious for building their nests right in places where people like to gather, like around your deck or under the eaves of your roof in your backyard. These stinging insects are also well known for viciously defending their nests. Wasps are aggressive creatures and require little to no aggravation to attack, so trying to remove a wasp nest yourself can cost you both financially and physically.

While we recommend always calling a professional pest control provider, below you'll find some DIY tips to help you with wasp control in your home.
Wasp spray - If you choose to try a wasp spray, there are a few things you should consider. Before applying the spray, read the instructions listed on the container. We also recommend that you try to isolate the wasp in a room away from pets and children. Rather than spraying a large cloud of pest control product and hoping the wasp will fly through it, aim and directly spray the wasp.
Flyswatter - If you don't have pesticide spray but have quick reflexes, try using a flyswatter. Be careful though because if you miss, the wasp might fly after you.
A soda bottle trap - A simple soda bottle trap with watered-down dish soap is another DIY wasp trap option. Be sure to clean out the trap regularly so the trap doesn't overfill.
