How do you get rid of yellow jackets in the ground?

Answer 1

Wet the ground and place an old carpet over the area. Leave the carpet overnight then remove it in the morning. The jackets will come to the surface and unto the carpet.

Simply turn the carpet over in the morning and the birds will feast on the jackets that are under the carpet. Use a pyrethrin dust on them in the hole very early in the am, and then run, cause they will be mad.

Answer 2

You can buy something called the Waspinator , it mimics a wasp nest, hang one or several around the outside of the house. It will indicate to other wasps this home is already taken and they will stay away.

Answer 3

Dusts, sprays, and traps are ways through which yellow jackets can be eliminated by non-professionals and professionals. For eliminating in scattered, small numbers insecticidal dust may be applied to aerial and subsurface nests while lure traps with fresh meat, heptyl butyrate, and water may be stagged in late winter to early spring. Pyrethrin or pyrethrum sprays tend to work but require personal protective equipment from head to toe.

Answer 4

Spray that sucker with a good wasp spray and 24 hours later take a stick and whack it

Answer 2:

Yellow jackets nest in the ground and they eat wasp spray for breakfast.

This works. I just killed an underground nest with over a thousand YJ's:

Don't use gasoline. You're polluting the ground and you could end up getting injured or killed by lighting it.

Here's how I killed a nest in the ground a couple of days ago:

Find the hole that the yellow jackets are coming and going from.

Get one of those cans of "Indoor Fogger" for bugs (I used one called Hot Shot).

Wait until completely dark and shake the can of fogger well. Then Duct Tape it to the end of a long pole. Tape it so the spray will be directed downwards into the hole when the pole is dropped. Start the fogger and drop the can over the hole.

Run like hell! Plan your quick exit strategy before dropping the can (you don't want to trip over anything). Come back the next day and check if it worked. If it didn't, it was probably because the can didn't spray directly down the hole

Answer 5

This works. I just killed an underground nest with over a thousand YJ's:

First, let me say that I tried those cans of wasp and hornet spray. They did almost nothing. Some people will say to use gasoline. Don't use gasoline. You're polluting the ground/water and you could end up getting injured or killed by lighting it.

Run like hell!! Plan your quick exit strategy before dropping the can (you don't want to trip over anything). Come back the next day and check if it worked. If it didn't, it was probably because the can didn't spray directly down the hole.

Answer 7

Wait til night when even the guard wasps are in bed and spray diatomaceous earth (available at any garden shop as natural non-chemical wasp control) into the entrance of their nest. Then cement the hole when you see the nest isn't populated anymoreThe advantage is that they track diatomaceous earth into the nest where it kills them all..

The other advantage is there's nothing involved (except the wasps before they die) that can poison or harm youUsing home remedies like gasoline is not recommended if the nest is in you homes walls or under your porch. You might wind up with no wasps because there is no home for them to live in.

Answer 8

There are traps available, and many types of sprays as well. Never go after an active nest until after dark, however. Gasoline poured down a nest hole will eliminate them.
