Hornet or yellow jacket identification… #847925

Asked August 30, 2023, 2:01 PM EDT

Hello, for the last couple of weeks I’ve had an insect invasion at my farmhouse in Otter Tail County, sprayed them with RAID twice and just pissed them off… Sending a picture for an ID, what are they…???

Hi Thomas,

They appear to be yellow jackets, but it's hard to be sure with the side photo. This page should help you ID the insects and decide how to handle the situation:
