For yard and house protection from yellow jackets and hornets/wasps, take a paper grocery bag, fill it with something to keep it filled out. Shape the bag to mimic a baldfaced hornet nest.
You can either make a shallow entrance hole or just magic marker one on the bottom.
You can draw a couple of guard hornets around the entrance or not, we’ve done it both ways. Spray the “nest” with lacquer or other sealer if this decoy nest will be hung where rain can get to it.
Hang them from the eaves of your buildings.
Or hang them in trees near your buildings.
Voila! No yellowjackets or other wasps/hornets will invade a baldfaced hornet nests territory.
