How do get rid of these ground bees?

Question

I have a small shed, which these ground bees/yellow jackets or whatever you want to call them have made a nest under. They have been there for awhile, but finally attacked my dog, because he started sniffing around the entrance. In turn, since my dog is small, I ran over, grabbed him, and then they started stinging me. Anyway...now it's war. I cannot clearly see the actual entrance to the hole, but know where they enter under the edge of the shed. How can I get rid them? I have heard a rag soaked with gasoline works, as does moth balls, however, once again, I cannot actually cover the hole without digging underneath the shed. Any advice would me much appreciated!!

Answer 1

Try fogging the area with an insect killing spray.  This may take a few applications over several days, but eventually you'll kill the bees, and they will have taken enough of the spray inside to pollute the hive.

Answer 2

They aren't bees, they're almost certainly yellow jackets.  

If you cannot access the entrance to the hive, you will not be able to easily exterminate the nest without some (possibly a large number) wasps making a rapid sortis.   And without proper protection (i.e. a beekeeper's outfit), they'll sting the h**l out of you.  

An exterminator who's experienced in this type of job will don the protective equipment, find the exact entrance to the hive and then pump a bunch of insecticide spray or foam into the hive.    If you insist on doing it yourself, that's what I would recommend you do.
