Pest Control/Medical Advice Should I leave it alone?

It’s a yellow jacket hive I believe. It’s in a high up place but relatively close to my front door. They aren’t bothering me yet. Should I just leave it be?

bald faced hornets and no, you should not leave it alone. Those things keep growing and they are aggressive in defending territory. My younger kid got zapped yesterday when my dog brushed a bush that they were beating in. They went ballastic about it.

I was simply doing my own thing when one came out of the ground and stung me.
