you can't really FIND it. it could possibly be underground. yellowjackets tend to make homes under bushes. take kitchen cleaner/ glass cleaner/ hairspray to kill them. it works great, hope i helped.
I kill nests each year. Look for the workers going in and out of the nest hole. When darkness comes, get an adult to pour about one half gallon of gas or kerosene into the hole, that will destroy the nest.
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
