Whoops must have responded before your last msg Paula. 

I’m not in the area but maybe someone else wants to stop by to confirm onsite.

Talked to him and he has sent this video around and everyone is coming back with wasps also. 

I gave him vector controls number and next steps so he should be all set. 

Thanks Paula!

Yeah, agree. Anyone in his neighborhood got time to give him a confirmation? Then he can call the pest folks back out. 

Best,

Paula

The way their flying looks a lot like wasps to me.

Anish in Fremont called as there are insects flying in and out of an area in his backyard. It is unclear if they are coming in and out of a stucco wall or if they are flying out of the ground in the soil in front of the stucco wall. He sent a video and I'm not 100% sure. Seems like more traffic than a yellow jacket nest but they're moving too fast for me to really get a read on whether they're wasps versus bees. They seem to fly more like wasps IMO but the pest control folks told him they're bees. I'm not convinced. Anyway, he is looking for help because his dad got stung twice. If this is an extraction he knows there will be a cost.
