So I just went to my grow area and somehow got a swarm of yellow jackets on me. Got stung 4 times. Being midnight its not what I enjoy.

What's the best way to deal with this situation?

Find the nest and destroy it. Most bug sprays should work.

Hell, Id just try to avoid them considering they dont affect your crop

if you can need to get rid of them make sure to use wasp & hornet spray shit goes like 15 feet....hornets will keep others away from your crop tho

yellow jackets eat harmful pests. when not disturbed, they are your friends. i watch them land on my plants all day in search of mites and what not. they do a really good job keeping my plants free of pests.

Listen to Fdd. Leave them alone and they will help you control pests which actually damage your plants as well as helping to keep rippers from your crop.

I was just moving a lot of brush so I guess I disturbed the nest. I'll be move careful next time.

Thanks for the help.

If they are ground nesting yellow jackets,first find the nest.Then we take a gallon of karosene,(white gas) and dump it right in the hole at night.this will get rid of the whole nest.Others say keep them........I say get rid of them.If you are worried about bugs,get some predetors like,mantis,or lady bugs.
