Vespula maculifrons? Ground-nesting yellowjacket, not great if this is in a high-traffic area as they are very defensive of their nests
2 u/melanthius Jul 09 '24 I had a guy from my city pest department come and put some powder in the nest in my backyard. They were all dead and gone within 2 weeks. Best of all it was free and he came out in 24 hours. OP check if your city offers something similar. 1 u/inkstoned Jul 09 '24 What dept. did you call? I've no idea where to start 4 u/melanthius Jul 09 '24 In my county there’s a mosquito / vector / pest control department. I just googled it. They have a simple web form to report problem pests, then they send someone out promptly. Tax dollars at work! 1 u/inkstoned Jul 09 '24 You're a lifesaver! Thank you
