Since the weather in Phoenix is so beautiful day in and day out, you like to walk around your property to have fun with family and friends. Unfortunately, you may at some point come upon a yellow jacket nest. If this happens, you should of course proceed with caution. While you may think you can get rid of these bees yourself, this is one strategy you should not try. Instead, take these steps at once to ensure the nest of bees is removed safely.

Don’t Bother the Bees
Since yellow jackets can be very aggressive bees when disturbed, you should do all you can to not bother any nest you may find. If the bees become disturbed, they may decide to attack as a group, resulting in multiple stings that can be very painful and potentially life-threatening, especially if you suffer allergic reactions to bee stings.

Keep Children and Pets Away
While you will know not to bother any nest of yellow jackets, your kids and pets may not. Therefore, if you do have kids or pets as part of your family, make sure you keep them well away from any group of bees.

Call Professionals
Once you discover a nest of yellow jackets at your home, grab your phone and call pest control professionals who have years of experience handling these difficult and dangerous situations. By doing so, you can be sure the nest is removed in a safe manner, and that various pest control methods will be used to discourage any more bees from returning and trying to build a new nest nearby.

Don’t Panic
Finally, don’t panic when you discover a bee nest. Though this may be your first reaction, staying calm and backing away slowly can increase the odds the bees won’t get upset and disperse, which can increase your chances of getting stung.
