Yellow jacket nest can grow very large in the sheltered protection
on an attic. In the cooler climates like Michigan, these nest will be built under the insulation on top of the drywall ceiling,
as this nest grows larger the drywall will become soft, it may form a bubble and eventually a hole will appear and thousand
of yellow jackets will fill the room. This is obviously a dangerous situation and professional help is needed to remove the
loose bees and extract the nest. This is most common from mid June through October. Some signs to look for would be a steady
stream of yellow jackets entering your home through a small crack or hole in the siding of the house, you should never try
to plug this hole, doing so will force the bees to find an other exit. Some times that new exit will on the inside of the
house. Another sign would be a bubble or soft spot in the drywall or even a constant crackling noise coming from inside the
wall. Yellow jackets can be deadly that is why you need to have professional help removing them. We have special equipment
and protective clothing to remove them quickly and safely from your home.
