There is a nest of Yellow Jacket Wasps under my door. What do I use to destroy them along with their nest?

Question

I have already used 3 different kinds of pesticides. I'm stuck as to what to do!!

Answer 1

First off...wait until it gets dark. Bees don't fly at night...that way they will all be on the nest when you spray the killer. It also helps if you have to run...they can't see you in the dark....ha ha

Answer 2

This answer was asked previously on answers and most people answered to pour gasoline on it, or run the lawn mower on it.  Both sound a bit dangerous, but then so are the yellow jackets!  Good luck, what an awful problem.  

Answer 3

Have you tried a good name brand of Hornet and Wasp spray.  They always work for me.  Spray enough to really soak them and the vapors should kill the ones that are hiding out of sight.

Answer 4

I used "Raid" but it took 3-4 cans all at one time. Of course wait until after dark. Then spray, they should all be in the nest. Soak it really good. Then get up early in the morning before dawn & use a broom stick or shovel & get it into a bag or seal it in a box to throw away. Remember to keep some spray from the night before just in case...

p.s. don't forget to wear some gloves & a long sleeve shirt!

Answer 5

go to a store and get seven. It may come in liquid or powder form and you have to mix it. This is what my father always used. Wait until dark mix it and pour it down the whole this will take care of all of them in one shot. Sprays sometimes don't work very well and gasoline is dangerous that close to your house. Good luck hope this helps.
