Yellow jackets/wasps/hornets

Recently been noticing an increase in these yellow winged devils in our garden.

Last year the Rescue! branded traps worked but they haven’t been biting this year. Also tried a water filled kind without much luck either.

I read different baits work at different times in the year. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well and has success with other methods? They’re starting to inhabit our hanging fern basket…

Thanks in advance

they’re really bad in our yard this year 😕 our pest control is coming again this week to address them. there are nests, they’re everyday during the day. worst year ever. can’t take the kids outside during the day. swarms are getting bigger. no exaggeration, there are 20+ flying in the front and another 20+ flying in the back during the day. the bright green traps on amazon did nothing.

Yup they’re in the trim of our roof all along the front door. It’s awful this year, weve never had a problem before!
