I went to this Richmond job for a yellow jacket ground nest. After removing it, I found a second nest and removed that one too. These are my photos from the visit.

A Nest Opening Among the Ferns and Rocks

The opening in these photos sits among rocks, live ferns, and dry fronds. The wider view shows how much cover there is around it. Up close, you can see my vacuum hose and pipe attachment positioned at the gap.

A Second Nest on the Same Visit

This job ended with two nests removed. The second turned up after the first removal. I completed the work on August 11, 2026.

Tell Me Where You're Seeing Activity

If you're seeing wasps around a rock wall, garden bed, or opening in the ground, tell me where the activity is. A photo taken from a safe distance helps me see the setting before the visit.
