Last summer we had a ton of them. We did have to take down their population a notch or two but after that, because they were still so bad, I just turned on the sprinkler on the other side of the yard, and they let me be! Haha. We don't have the red and yellow ones here in Oregon that I've ever seen, but I bet they're still better than yellow jackets!

Yellow jackets are horrible! They may be beneficial in some way, but they are so scary.
I was stung for the first time by them earlier this year. Ouch! Wasn't as bad as i had imagined. We tried hard to find their next, but no luck. Now I just yell at them. Haha.
They do pollinate, but... they're so aggressive.
