Yes, but it probably won't do any good. Yellow jackets almost always have a second hole (an evacuation route as you might say). Even if they don't, they can burrow out a new hole and escape before the end of thier life span. Find the hole and mark it with something bright that you can see at night. After dark, approach the hole and spray a whole can of hornet killer down the hole. No more yellow jackets in the morning, guaranteed!

Can Sevin Ready-To-Spray bug killer be used on lawns?
It was recommended to me by our local garden store to kill yellow jackets in the ground. It will not immediately drop them to the ground like will some spray products but it will kill them. Apply a generous amount onto the opening of the nest and in a couple days it will be polluted by the yellow jackets entering it.
Are underground bees common?
Yellow Jackets: Yellow jackets are small (half-inch long) wasps marked with yellow. Colonies are initiated by overwintering queens that make paper nests underground, but occasionally in hollow trees, wall voids and attics or on a branch over a stream. A fully developed nest may contain from a few hundred to many thousand adults. Yellow jackets feed on a variety of pest insects, but will also forage for meat or soft drinks at picnic, camp and garbage sites. This habit often brings them into close association with people. Good sanitation in picnic areas can help reduce problems with these pests. Solitary scavenging yellow jackets are usually non-aggressive unless handled, but become very aggressive as a group if they believe their nest is threatened. Yellow jackets will vigorously pursue an intruder who threatens their nest and are generally considered the most dangerous of the social insects.
