Grounds Hornets, Yellow Jackets

[YOTESHOOTER]

The problem is I have so much ground cover on top of the ground, I am not sure where the hole is... All though I can narrow it to a 4'x4' area.

From a safe distant area that you can see the area, get a pair of bios, watch for the jackets they will start coming back to the nest if they were a long distance away and coming back in the morning, they also start flying out there will be a stream of the flying pests coming out, they will usually come back just before dark, then if you can find a glass coke bottle / or beer bottle available fill it with gas and put it into the hole and leave it there in the hole. As you are leaving you will hear the pinging of the glass as some try to escape.

Small nest is from, 25,000 to 125,000 in it.............

Good luck and be careful they can hurt..

Grab yourself 30lbs of tannerite and put it on the area where the hole is.. Shoot the tannerite to make the hole bigger.. wait a day to let them be not as pissed and put a 5 gallon gas can in the newly uncovered nest.. poke a small hole in it so that it can run all over the area.. get about a half mile away and shoot with a tracer round.. problem solved.. and if not, I hear nukes can be highly effective...


Yes, I'm one of those rednecks that ruins it for the rest of you guys by making warning labels mandatory

Try taking a wine bottle half full of gas and sticking the bottle neck into the hole. The critters in the nest are trapped, and the jackets out on forage patrol will not be able to get in. Leave the bottle in the hole for three days so that the ones outside the hole will leave and find a new nest.

I read this thread this morning and dang it but I found a jacket nest in a chipmunk borrow by my mailbox. They almost tagged me when I opened the mailbox. I high tailed it for the house once I saw three of them. Whew!

I live in the city ( I know) but anyway...I would use gasoline but I'm afraid of one of my green neighbors calling the epa on me. For obvious reasons can't use tannerite either...4th of July was several days ago and it seems like a good way to end up on da gubermints list.

So I did what any yuppy, city-dweller would do - went to Lowes and got some $3 ground insect killer specifically for yellow jackets and wood burrowing bees. I was tagging the hole (lol - just read what I wrote) with this crap from about ten feet away. They were none too happy with me and several came right at me forcing a temporary retreat. I eventually emptied the whole bottle.

Definitely interested to see the results tomorrow but the country-boy upbringing in me definitely wanted to use gasoline and fire. Oh well...

How about something to stun them and then pour liquid metal down the hole like these guys are doing with ant hills on youtube..... Beautiful piece of art when it's cool....
