Yellow Jacket Information:

Only the fertilized female yellow jacket over winters. All males die during the winter. This may be the reason they are so aggressive in the early fall because they know this is their last "Hoorah".

When fertilized females emerge from hilbernation in the early spring, she needs protein for her young offspring. Traps placed and maintained the the early spring will help reduce the yellow jacket population in the fall.

For every female you capture in the early spring, this will eliminate a yellow jacket's nest of 500 to 5,000.
