I had learned of a less toxic method, although applying it to house siding
would be a challenge.

You cover the jacket nest entry hole (yes, at night as previously mentioned)
with a glass bowl. The jackets can't escape, but as they see daylight, they
can't figure out to dig a new entry hole. They eventually starve to death.
This worked for me for a ground nest. Normally I'd just let them do their
thing while I do mine, but we each had a serious claim on the same patch of
ground.

Now that is clever. I wonder if you could rig up a very small fan to
create down draft if you would get more or less? The down draft would
increase the odds of them hitting the soapy water, but it might also
keep them away from the fish.

Or possibley make it a vacuum. I have seen that used with a buglight of
the kind used in the bug zappers. The bugs fly to the light and get
sucked in the water and become fish food.

But just by it self this seems like it would work just as the author
said.
