yellowjacket nest

Well I found a nice nest this morning. It will be the first one I can't kill with gas cause it's under a beautiful shrub and also a very short overhang on my lower garage. I'm going to tr y the non foaming Spectracide stuff.
 
Try pouring boiling water (a gallon or more) down the hole. Also works on weeds.

How did it work?

I'll have to try that next time.

I found a nest in my lawn a week or two back. I dumped some gas down the hole. They are gone now.
 
I'v been meaning to post a update to this thread and just haven't got to it. The Spectracide stuff was a waste of money. I actually found another nest under another nice shrub about fifteen feet from the other one and I just didn't want to kill my beautiful shrubs w/ gas. A guy told me to try Sevin dust he said he heard it worked. And I'll be danged I poured about a half of a cup right over the hole and in about two hours there were yellow jackets laying everywhere and my bee problem in both nests were gone.

So don't waste your money on bee killer or gas just use a little Sevin Dust and you'll be good to go.
 
This is a great way to wake up... One morning about 6:45 I go and let the dog out the back door to do her business. She comes darting back toward the house and I open the door, she runs in past me, slides across the laminate living room floor, hits the wall across the room and is spinning around in circles something crazy.

I'm half awake, but I'm trying to figure out why she is suddenly full of the holy spirit, when it hits me, or I should say, THEY hit me. Two yellow jackets rode the dog in like banditos and now turned their attack on me. I didn't have a shirt on so my only defense was to break out my Michael Jackson dance moves all across the living room and to sing some of James Brown's greatest hits. (I would have loved to have been able to see this from my neighbor's viewpoint.) The bastards got off of me and went back to the door to get out while I went to grab the spray.

They only help I got from my heroic girlfriend, who is still in bed at this point, was her saying "We're out, use the Resolve under the sink." That's right. Resolve Carpet Cleaner. Instead of arguing, I grabbed it thinking I would soak them with it so they couldn't fly and then smash them with a flip flop I had stuck in my underwear waistband, like a six shooter in Dirty Harry's holster. I soaked those sob's and they fell to the floor and started twitching just like I had hit them with the real deal. I watched them for a second and I didn't even have to smash them before they died. But I did smash them. Sucka's gotsta pay!

Too funny!
 
yeah anything with soap in it will kill bees. Used to use that for wasps in an apartment I lived in several years ago. Insects breath through pores in their exo-skeleton. The soap clogs them all up and they die pretty quickly.
