Yellow jackets are a common and aggressive wasp species found throughout the Willamette Valley in Oregon. These social insects build large colonies, often nesting in the ground, wall voids, or under eaves. Unlike bees, yellow jackets can sting multiple times without losing their stinger, making them particularly dangerous when they feel threatened. If you’ve noticed yellow jackets flying in and out of a specific area or have been stung while outdoors, you may have a yellow jacket nest nearby. These pests are especially active in late summer and fall when their colonies reach peak size and food becomes scarce.
