One way to get rid of yellow jackets is to keep pet food and other sources of proteins indoors or locked up. Yellow jackets, like other wasps, really do enjoy protein, and nothing is packed with more accessible proteins than pet food.
So, keep your dog’s or cat’s food bowl inside during the warmer months, or find a way to protect that pet food from foraging pests like yellow jackets and other scavenging wasps.
Sometimes getting rid of yellow jackets or reducing yellow jacket populations is as easy as keeping your garbage cans properly sealed. Garbage cans are not only a windfall for stray dogs, stray cats, and the occasional raccoon, but also for yellow jacket wasps who will feed on the leftover proteins and sugars we tend to throw out with the trash. Scraps of meat and fish are particularly pleasing to a yellow jacket’s appetite, as well as old 2-liter bottles of pop - so keep the recycle bin locked up too!
