Probably not fast enough to avoid getting stung. Ground wasps, or yellowjackets, are very aggressive and will defend the colony. We have a lot of moles so we get a lot of these nests. I have good luck mixing an entire quart of Sevin liquid insecticide into a gallon of water and rigging up a contraption to send it down the hole - through a hose - AT NIGHT. DO NOT try this during daylight. Set it up to drain into the hole (on a chair or milk crate) shove it in and run! Leave it there until morning and remove it carefully in case some survived. It is a good idea to cover your flashlight with red plastic to keep them calm while you set up. I have also killed them by emptying a can of wasp spray into the hole - at dusk from a safe distance - but it is a little more dangerous and may not get them all the first time. I have been told that Sevin dust will also work but may take a few days. Whatever you do, don't mess with them during the day!

When their natural food supplies dry up, wasps can be hungry enough to raid a honey bee hive in order to get to the honey stores. An individual wasp will easily be repelled by the guard bees, but a concerted attack by a large number of wasps can succeed in gaining entry and the result will be a lot of dead bees -- and dead wasps.

Yes they can be dangerous and some people make the mistake of not realizing that they could be wasps or hornets. In British Columbia we have hornets that live in mud under water! Many people have been stung with them. If you or anyone in your family (including pets) are bitten give Benadryl antihistamines (ready label for adults and children) and if a pet is bit, take them immediately the vets. You are going to need an exterminator to help you rid yourself of these ground pests.
