What are natural predators of yellow jackets?

Answer by  smithjen1498 (192)

Yellow jackets have very few natural predators. Spiders are one if the yellow jacket gets caught in the spider's web. Hornets and other wasps also occasionally will attack yellow jackets. Other animals such as raccoons and skunks will destroy a yellow jacket nest.
