We have a terrible problem with horse flies here, and when the yellow jacket overlords start buzzing the back yard, the fucking horse flies disperse. Plus the yellow jackets nested in the weeping cherry tree I have in the front yard. That tree was infested with those damn Asian beetles but not anymore.
Like I said, they are a big bunch of giant assholes but they do have their benefits when they go about fucking up all the other insects. I'm ok with this and I try to avoid them. When they get near the kids or nest where I don't want them, that poses a big problem but i'll deal with it.
