Last night I lowered it down so it&#8217;s about 8 inches above the nest. I saw one yellow jacket walking around outside two sundowns ago. This morning I just saw one crawl out of the hole in the ground so I guess that is their nest. I turned the zapper on and went back out to watch and he was just walking along the palmetto fronds about a foot away from it, did not seem interested in the light at all. I I raked away some of the ground debris, carefully and cautiously so as not to disturb any other hidden nests. I enjoy doing yard work when it&#8217;s in the fifties and sixties and seventies with low humidity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-found-the-opening-to-the-yellow-jacket-hole\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">I f<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-found-the-opening-to-the-yellow-jacket-hole\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">ound the opening to the yellow jacket hole!<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/a-yellow-jacket-sting-fried-modem-kind-of-day\/\">A yellow jacket sting, fried modem kind of day<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/no-yellow-jackets-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=No yellow jackets yet&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/no-yellow-jackets-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/no-yellow-jackets-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/no-yellow-jackets-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=No%20yellow%20jackets%20yet&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/no-yellow-jackets-yet\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here I have the zapper positioned above the yellow jacket nest but I saw very few yellow jackets.
