Yellow jackets are a persistent issue across California, with its diverse climate supporting their activity for much of the year. From the coastal areas to the inland valleys, including major metros like Anaheim, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Oxnard, Elk Grove, and Santa Rosa, these aggressive insects can be a significant concern for homeowners and businesses.

Warm summers and mild winters allow colonies to establish and thrive, often nesting in the ground, wall voids, or attics of its widespread housing stock. The state's extensive suburbs and agricultural areas provide abundant resources and nesting sites. Identifying the specific species of yellow jacket is important, as their behavior and preferred nesting locations can vary.
