I've lived here for the last 8 years. Last week I was stung/bitten by a yellow jacket while sitting on the small back deck.

I found the underground nest opening at the corner of the deck. We have been slowly cleaning and painting the wood rails. Temp work stoppage.

So, I visited Lowe's for a yellow-jacket trap. Filled it as directed and hung it last night.

I'll be putting out do-it-yourself traps later today. I plan to use a sugar and water mix with vinegar and salt. The vinegar should keep honey bees away from the trap

Help! I love sitting outside with my pup, watching the birds and butterflies.
