Question: Every summer we have problems with yellow jackets entering our soffits, they then bore holes into the living area we have had to repair dry wall too many times we have had an exterminator come but of course as soon as it rains the stuff used is washed away. Spoke with an exterminator who told us to use a fogger in our attic craw space. Problem is not sure what to get or where to get it. Since it is still very cold where we live I could get up into the attic and maybe spray without the danger of getting stung. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks

Answer: For yellow jackets, you must find the nest or where they are coming from and get rid of the source. If you can not find the queen, they will continue to reproduce and the infestation will not go away. That is why we do not recommend a fogger. Foggers only kill on contact the ones that show up in the range of the insecticide however, it does not prove to be very effective in the long run. However, if you know where the holes are and where they are entering from, we recommend wall void spot treatment with a dust product. Delta Dust is going to be effective not just for yellow jackets, but also for other bees and insects that will crawl through the wall voids. You can puff the dust into the holes or wall void with a duster like the Bellow Bulb duster. We also have dusters with a longer extension on our site.
