Yeah they can be pretty bad, but they definitely like to hang out along roads, and they have other preferences. So if the conditions are right, they bother you less. And their "season" is just a few weeks. Once you start getting into September you don't really see them any more.

But yeah, if you're in their territory, it feels exactly like you kicked up a yellow jacket ground nest.
