Do imitation nests work to prevent yellow jackets?

• <div><p>Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. </p></div>

Will bees go away on their own?

• <div><p>In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.</p></div>

Should I try to remove a bee's nest myself?

They were punctual, extremely quick at removing the trees and pleasant. When the job was complete one would not know there were formerly trees growing. The clean up factor was a great bonus, very neat. They made the sting of losing my trees a little less painful by doing such a good job.
