Distinguishing characteristics:
Yellowjackets are heavybodied wasps, black with yellow or white markings, about 1/2 inch long. They live in grey, papery nests located either belowground, or suspended aboveground. The nests have only a single opening. Take caution if stung, a scent is left marking you as an enemy

The Western Yellowjacket nests underground such as in hilly areas and abandoned rodent burrows. The German Yellowjacket nests above ground in crevices, cavities, and trees. The best way to control yellowjackets is by removal of the nest with the use of insecticide sprays or powder.
