Fall Wasp and Yellowjacket Concerns in Rolla, MO

Why You May Notice Wasps in Fall

Yellowjackets can be particularly defensive near their nests in late summer and fall. A wasp visiting food outdoors and an active nest beside a doorway call for different responses. Identification and location help determine what to do next.

Start with the location of activity

Tell us whether insects are gathering around food, repeatedly entering an opening or flying around a visible nest. Observe from a distance; do not disturb a nest to identify it. Keep people and pets away from the area while you arrange advice.

Reduce outdoor food attractants

Cover food and drinks, clean up spills and keep trash containers closed. These habits may reduce foraging visits but do not eliminate a nearby colony. See UC IPM's guide to yellowjackets and other social wasps.

Ask about service for your property

For activity near your Rolla, MO home or business, we can discuss the insect involved, nest location, access and appropriate treatment options.
