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. James One good shot of wasp/hornet spray in the nest opening should do it. I've heard it is best to spray at night but I've done it many times in the day as sprayed yellow jackets are disoriented and don't get you. They're not all home during the day, so even if you don't get stung you didn't do half the job. Good point. I've seen some coming back the next day even but eventually they all disappear. No, they just move their nest. ...likely somewhere else you don't want it. Not to belabor the point, but I believe that yellow jackets are like other bees and once you've wiped out their base and killed the queen, the drones just get lost. that is what we need to do to the dems in november. |
