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!

One horrifying weekend I killed over 250 of them in my house. If you have a
nest in your foundation that you can't find call pest control to do the job.

Silly as it sounds, the last few years I've hung fabric softener sheets
around my porches and windows as a last ditch effort to keep them away and
had good results. Hanging them next to new nests still under construction
actually caused the yellow jackets to abandon the nest, but I don't know how
effective it would be to eliminate an established one. Use poison to get rid
of them and give the fabric softener sheets a try around the dog area as a
deterrent - good luck.
