We have a ton of yellow jackets around this year! We did spray some of the
nests but one is in our cellar window well. They seem to have found an
opening into the framework around the window and are somewhere inside the
cement block foundation. They are constantly flying in and out all day! We
tried spraying but we don't see an opening,they are so quick! Is there
anything else we can do to eliminate them?They are in an area where my dogs
are kept so every time the dogs go near they attack!ANY help would be
appreciated!

If you can find the crack where they are going in and out, use a
pesticide *dust* rather than spray. I usually use methoxychlor 50WP,
but Sevin 10P should work (Sevin stains carpets, so be careful with it)
Apply the dust dry, so the wasps will get it on their feet when they
walk thru and will track it into the nest. It'll kill the whole hive in
a day or two.
