Anybody ever had luck killing yellow jackets

[opps]

Had them in my hose winder under the deck near the back door.. Huge nest. Chased me into the house. Got a can of spray killer. Was able to unwind the hose enough to nuke them from the screen door. Survivors still tried to get into the house. Found two in the basement still twitching.

Now I mix up a mix of fire and, termite and bug killer for mounds and holes. Nothing ever lives after getting dosed with that mix. Just have to wear PPE.

Actually found the queen and a handful of drones but forgot to snap a picture before covering the hole up.

I had them going into my wall on my front porch, went out one morning with a cup of coffee just minding my own business and I thought someone put a red hot poker to the top of my bare feet.
I killed the whole nest with a fly flap by sitting in the rocking chair on the front porch and killing them one at a time as they would return to the nest. It took me about 2 weeks but it was most satisfying.
I guess you could say I'm OCD and vindictful....

Cup or two of seven dust in the entry way then take your leaf blower and clog the hole and turn on.

Dug up the other nest in the front yard a couple days ago. There was still a couple of drones moving around. Nest size was about the same as the first.

I've had good luck going out after its good and dark with red flash light. I find the nest hole and douse the guards good with wasp freeze. If its close to the house I fill the hole with a large dose of delta dust and plug the opening. If its away I use gas or brake cleaner.

Made that mistake as a teenager, good lesson on gravity and gas fumes. After lighting that match it had me high stepping! LOL

The running mower thing does not work well. My Dad did that and quite a few managed to get by and they were really pissed.

Seven dust in the hole after dark. About 1/2 to 1 cup ought to do it.

Overnight results

Saw my grandpa have success with this several times. Do it in the day time and you can watch them fly off and get slower and slower eventually falling. Doesn't take long.
