Hudson Valley Yellow Jacket Information
Yellow jackets are among the most aggressive stinging insects found in the Hudson Valley. Their populations typically peak in late summer and early fall, when they become more active around outdoor gatherings, food, and garbage containers.
Yellow jackets commonly build nests:
- Underground in abandoned rodent burrows
- Inside wall voids and structural cavities
- Under decks, porches, and sheds
- Around landscaping and wooded areas
Unlike honeybees, yellow jackets can sting multiple times and may become aggressive when their nest is disturbed. Professional removal is the safest and most effective way to eliminate an active nest and reduce the risk of painful stings.
