Several pesticides have been tested for palatability to yellowjackets with two fipronil and imidicloprid being taken in high quantities. These compounds may be useful for localized eradication efforts. Limited field trials showed that Fipronil mixed with ground chicken baits eliminated German yellowjacket populations within hours in small areas.
Subsequent monitoring in the following weeks showed no resurgence of German yellowjacket populations in treated areas indicating that a very short experimental exposure of fipronil was sufficient to destroy the colony completely.

Invasive Species German Yellowjacket. While experimenting with different poisons, researchers found that mirex was the only one of 12 that did not repel yellow jacket workers when the poison was mixed with foods that are desired by yellow jackets.
Pest control professionals often use baits to control yellow jacket around homes. Dec 6, These non-fertilized eggs, having only half as many genes as the queen or the workers, develop into male drones. The mature colony consists of a queen, 2, - 4, winged infertile female workers, brood eggs, larvae and pupae and, in late summer, males and reproductive females. Did you know? Yellow jackets live in large groups called colonies. Nests provide shelter for thousands of yellow jackets. Drones come from non-fertilized eggs.
Since drones are males, they have no sting. Female wasps will sting repeatedly to protect the colony. Most wasps feed on insects, while bees rely on a diet of nectar or pollen.

Summary of Invasiveness Top of page Introduction and establishment of V. Notes on Taxonomy and Nomenclature Top of page Vespula germanica is a wasp species of Palaearctic origin within the order Hymenoptera, family Vespidae, subfamily Vespinae.
Description Top of page V. Distribution Top of page Some details of the endemic distribution of V. Distribution Table Top of page The distribution in this summary table is based on all the information available. Risk of Introduction Top of page An insect pest with a life history stage that includes a hibernating, independent, inseminated adult female which is capable of establishing a social insect colony without further interaction or inputs with other members of the species, has a high potential for geographical dispersal and for successful colonization of new territories.
The social wasp, V. Climatic homologues occur throughout the southern hemisphere and North America and it is here on four different continents that this species in recent times has been accidently introduced and successfully established, and has become a notorious invasive species. Biology and Ecology Top of page V. Notes on Natural Enemies Top of page The wasp colony with its paper structure, large quantities of protein in the form of immature and adult wasps plus the detritus that accumulates underground below the nest, provides a rich habitat for predators, parasites and commensals, despite the defensive stings and jaws possessed by adult wasps.
