Yellow Jackets

Cut a pine brush off and stomp around the hole the yellow jackets are using. When they come out of the hole very quickly start beating them with the pine brush. It will not take very long to kill all those bees this way. It is also easy on the environment. You have to move that brush quickly to be effective.

ORTO makes a mix your own product that works, I got mine at lowe's, also the hardware on 10th street carries some really deadly stuff to kill them and you don't have to worry about killing your bush....

The gas will evaporate before it kills your bush. Get 'em after dark, kills them all. I did 2 days ago.

Wait until dark. Take a 2 litre soda bottle and stick the open end into the entrance hole. Stomp or beat the ground around the hole. The bees will fly up into the bottle (they will not go back down). Remove bottle and secure cap (quickly). Relocate bees. You will need to take them at least 10 miles away or they are likely to just find their way back. You're welcome.

kenc: I've reflected on it and will say that I don't like to cause a slow painful death to any living creature. If there's something that acts faster than spray paint, like kerosene when lit, which will immediately burn like a white-hot inferno and crisp their little stingers in their little butts and will fry them good and crisp in a micro-minute, I'll be all for that.


But I won't eat them in chocolate.

Where do you buy 7dust?

I didn't mean don't kill yellow jackets, if there's a nest near your house they will sting someone, or swarm on an unexpected person and sting them several times. They may be the meanest of stinging insects.

The spray paint method is slow.

Wait till after sundown then pour gas down the hole. Don't light the gas and only use about a cup.

I suggest you wait till dark for what ever you do but gas is the best way. I would also be on the look out for their 2nd exit hole if you do something during the day.
