Yellow jackets can be nasty. They can sting over and over. The build paper nests made from wood and saliva. It is a good idea not to provoke them. Swinging or arms will not deter them. Instead cover your face and walk away. Do not try to approach their nests as they are known to swarm and will defend their nest. Prevention is best. Keep lids on trash cans, eliminate standing water, clear dirty dishes immediately, cover sugary drinks, hand traps away from where people will be. If stung use soap and water, cover with a bandaid, watch for signs of allergic reaction (breathing issues). If you are sensitive, go to the doctor immediately.
