Yellowjacket Update

Not the football team, which won 69-14 over mighty Samford (not to be confused with Stanford) but rather, the ongoing battle with the infestation just off our driveway.

Two traps have now been installed and I've emptied the first of dead yellowjackets and reinstalled with fresh bait.

The contents of the trap were quite revealing. I've been able to confirm the exact species of yellow jacket I'm up against. It is a Western Yellowjacket by the name of Vespula Pensylvanica. The most common of the yellowjackets in these parts.
