There are several species of yellowjackets. These flying insects typically have a yellow and black head/face and patterned abdomen. Many say, the pattern resembles stripes. Signature to species, the abdomen pattern can help an entomologist or pest professional identify specific types of yellowjackets.

Habits
Yellowjackets nest in the ground or in cavernous areas such as eaves, attics, etc.... They feed on sweets and proteins and commonly invade outdoor activities.

Habitat
Yellowjackets can be found anyplace humans can be found. Check near recycling bins or other areas where sugars are common but keep in mind these pests also feed on protein. Yellowjackets become more aggressive in autumn when the colony begins to die out except for the queen.

Threats
Yellowjackets pose significant health threats to humans as they may sting repeatedly and can cause allergic reactions. Stinging insects send over 500,000 people to the emergency room each year.

Yellowjackets can be found in All 50 States

Prevention
Remain vigilant and call a pest professional if you suspect yellowjacket activity. Control requires specialized equipment and safety precautions. Do not leave sweet drinks or meats in accessible areas. For example, clean up and remove food and trash after picnics and outdoor events.

Carpenter bees look like typical bumblebees but often lack yellow stripes. They are solitary bees.

Habits
Unlike bumble bees, carpenter bees are solitary insects. Female carpenter bees will chew a tunnel into a piece of wood to build a nest gallery. The bits of wood she chews and deposits outside the nest are called frass. The male carpenter bee guards the outside of the nest. He does not have a stinger, but his constant buzzing causes concern for some.

Habitat
Carpenter bees bore through soft woods to lay eggs and protect their larvae as they develop.

Threats
Carpenter bees do not pose a public health threat, but they can damage wood through their nest building. They're big and scary and look like bumble bees - inch-long carpenter bees with a shiny abdomen and yellow thorax. When humans approach, males may angrily hover a short distance in front of a person's face or buzz around their head.Â

People stay clear of them. Most don't know it's only an act, flying around the nest playing guard. Nature has left this male ill-prepared: he has no stinger. Only the female can sting. It's a potent sting but she rarely uses it.Â

For homeowners, a bigger but little-known danger lurks. Carpenter bees are wood-destroying insects that can cause serious structural damage if not caught in time and treated. Other pests that can eat through wood include: termites, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles.

If any of these organisms has established a nest in the wood of a structure, homeowners probably will need the services of pest management professionals to help determine and implement an effective plan to control them and prevent re-infestation. This is especially true if any form of chemical control is needed.

Bumble bees are beneficial insects because they pollinate crops and plants.

Habits
The occupant of a disturbed bumble bee nest will buzz in a loud volume. They defend their nests aggressively.

Habitat
Bumble bees often nest in the ground, but can be found above ground around patio areas or decks. They will sometimes build their ness in soffits of attics.

Threats
As part of their aggressive defense of their nests, bumble bees will chase nest invaders for a considerable distance. The bumble bee sting is one of the most painful. Unlike honey bees, bumble bees can sting more than once.

Bumble Bees can be found in All 50 States

Prevention
Bumble bees can be prevented through inspection of potential nesting areas and removal of potential harborage materials. Because bumble bees will sting when threatened, homeowners are advised not to address the infestation themselves.
