Default Get Rid of Yellowjackets

OK, I'll bite! What does whipped cream do to them? Is it the density or
something? Shoot, they dig through the dirt easily enough. Hmmmm - I 'd
REALLY have to keep the dogs away!

Do NOT pour gasoline into the ground. Do NOT use insecticide near a pond

(fish
gills absorb any trace of poison in the water and the fish dies).

For an underground nest, spray whip cream in the entrance at night. I am

not
kidding. Millions of years of evolution have not prepared yellow jackets

for
whipped cream.

For a hanging nest, get a flashlight and a pole and knock it down to the

ground
at night. It will be abandoned in a few days, unless it's huge. In that

case
you can boot it away somewhere at night (wasps generally refuse to fly in

low
light levels).

Solitary wasps like the monstrous looking cicada killers and pepsid wasps
(tarantula hawks) will not sting you unless you grab one.

Don't do that.
