I killed one on the driveway on Friday. Time to get the traps out.
I’m seeing some sluggish paper wasps in Eburg. But it’s certainly shaping up for early traps.

I can't say that I've ever confused a cougar and a queen.
Haven’t had any trouble since starting this program
Took about 24 hours after hanging traps to get results. Fresh queens!
I set my trap out about a month and a half ago. Caught two queens a week or so ago. They be dead.
This business of early season trapping of queens makes August and September so much better! I only caught 2 or 3 queens last year too, but still ended up with a nest in a post on my front porch. Shad chunks (tm) took care of those pesky bastards.

Looks like run of the mill German Yellowjacket V.germanica. My dad has caught a bunch of those this spring in So. OR.
Here is what the queen looks like:

@MarlinMark I assume that they are queens because they are active now and are much larger than the workers that start showing up in my yard in July. This photo kinda captures it. One of these is not like the others….

Had something similar when I was a teenager working as a cemetary groundskeeper. Hit a ground wasp nest with an edging machine and got hit over 30 times before I could get to a safe space. Have to carry an epi pen ever since.
