Yellow Jackets are very aggressive:

Yellowjackets are very aggressive. More so than other stinging insects such as Hornets,  Mud Daubers, Bees and Wasps. Yellowjackets can sting and bite. Since the pests do not lose the stinger, it can sting many times.
Yellowjackets vigorously protect the nests. Swarm attacks can and will occur if someone accidentally steps on or hits a nest opening. If a nest is spotted do not poke, touch or kick it.  Mowing lawns can be hazardous during the late Summer season when colonies are huge. It's best to call on a professional pest eliminator. AMPM Exterminators covers many cities such as Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Kirkland, Sammamish, Magnolia and more.

Precautionary and prevention tips:

Yellowjackets can be unpredictable and very aggressive. Especially in late summer when the colonies are at the largest. Always look before taking a drink because the stinging pests will fly into drinks. Yellowjackets hunt for sweet foods and drinks like juices, sodas and yes even adult beverages. Keep all garbage cans and dumpsters covered tightly  and away from eating areas. Yellow Jackets buzz around in the garbage for scraps and everything sweet. If swarming Yellow Jackets Stay attack stay calm as possible. Only because flailing movement will cause the yellowjackets to become even more aggressive. Crushing a yellow jacket is not advisable. The Yellow Jackets give off an alarm pheromone that alerts others in the area to attack. Keep children  away from overgrown or wooded areas which are prime nesting sites for yellow jackets. Do not use gasoline to try to eliminate a yellowjacket nest. This is very dangerous and environmentally unsound. Especially in the scorching heat here in the Puget Sound right now. Grass is dry along with trees and foliage. An AMPM Exterminators technician recommended recurring services for follow up treatments. The Sammamish homeowner opted for a three month service for prevention.
