Why yellowjacket pressure is specific to Fairview
Fairview's yellowjacket pattern concentrates in the older wood-frame housing south of West Broadway, plus soffit voids on the commercial buildings along Cambie. The mature soffit and fascia detailing on 1930s–1950s Fairview homes creates abundant nesting cavities. Yellowjackets also frequently establish in wall voids accessed through small gaps at window frames and utility penetrations — particularly the south and west elevations where sun warms the cavity. Peak season is identical to Kitsilano (late July through early September) but overall volume is slightly lower because Fairview has less mature landscape than the Beach-area yards in Kitsilano.
