Please remember that Yellowjackets have reached that time of year where they are very active and angry at the world! Use extreme caution searching for golf balls...particularly in fescue areas or on pond and creek banks. These are the preferred habitat for Yellowjackets. We will treat the nest as soon as we know about it. If you observe one, it's best to call me direct 787-2778 with a fairly specific location. Often times, the message is left with another department where I get a message relayed that is very generic like, "there is a bee's nest on the hill on #14." That makes locating a nest extremely difficult. The best scenario, if you see them entering and exiting the nest is to throw a golf tee or something in the vicinity. A ball marker, quarter, Rolex, a shoe, a belt, a pair of slacks (or socks) or your hat will all serve as adequate ways to mark the yellowjackets nest and alert staff where we need to treat the nest. Be careful out there!
