Yellowjacket Nest Dug Up: Skunks or Raccoons at Work

Dug-up paper combs indicate a skunk or raccoon raided a yellowjacket nest. Yellowjackets build underground nests with paper combs inside. Animals eat the larvae despite stings. Locate other nest entrances and spray with aerosol wasp/hornet killer late evening.
