Just a sales pitch. I've had yellow jackets in the eaves of both of my
houses, and they were never a problem in the house. Even my 90 yo house
is well sealed from the attic and eaves. They are a problem is you need
to do work on the house near the nest. If you can put it off for a year,
they have gone elsewhere.


It's been my experience that, like swallows, the damn things always come
back to Capistrano. Despite attempts to discourage them (read a gallon
or two of wasp spray) they seem to have their favorite nesting sites.
