If you really gotta kill 'em, use just about any insecticide dust or powder (not granules), and toss a goodly pinch in the hole. (best to do it in the evening) Sevin dust ought to work well, but it's not always a good choice because it stains. Bob thanks, i have no choice, they are chasing me and my pregnant wife whenever we come in and out of the house and have already stung the downstairs neighbor. i've called a bunch of exterminators and they're all quoting me $175-$250 since the nest isn't visable (who the heck would call for a visable nest when Raid is $5 a can). I'll see if I can find a place with Sevin dust and give it a shot myself. You don't need much poison at all, but you do need to get it all over the place up there so if you miss the nest (and you probably will) the wasps will walk through the powder on their way in and out and get it on thier feet. You want something that doesn't act too fast; the YJ's will track it into the nest and poison the whole hive when grooming. Good luck, and best regards, Bob |
