I live in North Florida. * There is a *yellow jacket bee hive in a big clump

time, but I cannot get rid of the nest. *The bees come right back to it.


I used the long-shot spray method because of the danger of getting too
close, *but even that was risky, as I had to fight off many bees with the
spray, as they were coming after me.


My wife got stung *8 *times *while she was working near this spot, and that
is how we first learned of it...


Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can get rid of this nest ?
The pampas grass is quite large, and I cannot see the actual nest, but
dozens and dozens of bees continue to fly in and out of the plant, so I know
it is in there somewhere.


Please help !!!


Thank you.

You'll HAVE to find the hole and pour about a half gallon of gasoline
down it. *Done.
