Hi. I had a yellow jacket nest develop in one of my flower beds this spring. Right next to the house and under my sunroom windows. I left it alone since it didn't seem to be a bid deal and I didn't want to pour a lot of poison down the hole where I had just planted a ton of rescued daffodil bulbs. But then their numbers grew and grew all summer. And a few here and there kept finding their way into the sunroom.
My question is: Are they now just going to hibernate all winter and I'm going to have a big and growing-even-bigger nest of yellow jackets next year?
Or is this a one-year-at-a-time nest building type of bug?
Because if they are just hibernating, I want to kill them now while they are sleeping.
