Answer 1:
I poured about a half of a gallon of gasoline into the entrance of the hive and lit a match. maybe not the most conventional or safest way, but it sure was fun! But whatever you do, do it at night when most of the yellow jackets are "home" for the night.
Answer 2:
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.

What chemicals do you spray in a wall to kill yellow jackets?
I just used two cans of Black Flag Wasp Spray on a huge yellow jacket nest layered in a large batch of ivy. Will that kill the nest? I can't see the nest under the ivy but, I'm believing it's under the ivy or in a stump in the ivy itself. The area I covered with the two full cans was about a 4x5 feet area. The ivy's about four inches deep. The yellow jackets were active at the time I was spraying the nest. Many retreated under the ivy towards where I believe the nest is at. Is that sufficient to kill the nest? Heck, I guess I'll know more in the morning. We lost our daylight now. Any helpful answers will sure help me out. Thanks in advance.
