Yellow jacket underground nest elimination tactics

[aFarewellToKings]

I've also used bug spray concentrate (without diluting). Cover hole with trashcan lid.

My suggestions....

1 Recon during the day.
2 Attack them at night...only at night.
3 Wear plenty of thick black/charcoal clothing. No open skin.
4 Be very careful about using a flashlight, they can see you & sting you!!
5 I use the foaming wasp/YJ killer spray or 1 gallon pump sprayer filled with strong insect killer.
6 Have a shovel with dirt ready to cover the entrance after spraying into the hole.
7 Once you attack, complete the attack and then quickly retreat.
8 Recheck it during the day, to see if there are any stragglers.
9 Treat again a few days later if needed. If done well, it won't be needed.

Watch out as those little jokers really hurt. Plus enough stings at one time, can overwhelm your immune system.

Delta dust at night works very well too!
