Since you all seem to enjoy seeing me get hurt. This is a video of me mowing the lawn yesterday. I apparently mowed over a yellow jacket nest, and they poured out of the ground! It took a few stings before I realized there were more than just one. I tried to run away and brush them off, but you can clearly see the moment I realized they were following me and still swarming around me. The only option I had was to run hard for the door and take the stings until I got inside. They got my ankles, arms, shoulder, and the back of my neck and head. Felt like someone put out cigarettes on me for about a day. Now they're just a little sore and very itchy!
I yelled "bees" to my neighbor across the alley because he was staring at me like I was a lunitac. I thought he assumed I just freaked out for no reason. Apparently, he didn't appreciate the profanity I was spewing as I was running for the door and swatting at yellowjackets.
Do you have any tips on getting rid of a nest of yellow jackets in the middle of your backyard?
