I recently came across these Yellow Jackets that found a hole where electrical wiring runs into the house and they built their nest in the wall. So I thought it would bee a good idea to put myself in danger and get up close and personal with them! A few of them landed on me but luckily none of them stung me!

Have you contacted an exterminator?

These guys can get very aggressive when the season changes to cooler weather.

Thank you for the compliment!
Sorry this reply is a little late, and that I can't answer your question right now. I had a wedding to go to this past weekend and I am also helping out on my mom n dad's farm this week while mom is having a surgery done. I left my older camera, a GE X-600 at home- that was the camera that I used to get these shots- and I also left my other laptop, the one that I saved these shots onto, at home also. The GE doesn't allow me to change settings while shooting in the close-up mode, so I would have to check the data to let you know the settings.

I've already tried spraying Raid a couple times with little effect, it only worked if the Yellow Jackets were sprayed directly, so now I'm thinking that your right- an exterminator is the way to go.
