Why oh why don't we have video of this?!
Dump kerosene in the nest and light it.....
This works great, but if you are like me and thats not enough of a show...sprinkle some gun powder along with it and run a trail of it as a fuse! Oh and call over the family and the neighbors, crack open a beer and watch the show!
I had a bees nest in my basement-ceiling last year, i screwed up and opened a hole and got hundreds if not thousands of bees in the basement. I opened a half dozen gas bombs overnight and killed them all, finding the largest most intricate condeminium complex of a beehive, lol. Anyway, I hate bees too!
yellow jackets are a lot worse than any bee... sure glad you did not have a reaction to them... dang 60 stings? been stung a few times over the years by them and they feel like a red hot poker to me...I've got a similar wasp story. I mow my neighbors front pasture with my Kubota, 5' mower and a frontloader. I finished and before my usual cold beer payment he wanted me to scoop up two rotten 15 year old pallets and dump them on his burn pile. I hit them with the bucket but they skidded. I jump off tractor, still running and stand up the first one on end. I hear him screaming like an idiot and take off running like Ben Johnson on steroids. WTF? he's like 68 years old. I look down and I'm covered nipples to toes with a solid yellow mass of wasps. Oh **** now what? They weren't stinging me yet. Well I decided to start swattin about the time they started bitin. HAHAHA I passed the old guy as he rounded the corner of his house headed to the front door. By the time we got there I had most of my clothes off. Wasps madder the hell and hot on our heels just like in the cartoons. We crashed thru the front door tryin to beat the flock in. His wife is standin there lookin at us, me in socks and drawers. Bastards followed us in and she starts beatin them with a magazine. I'm tryin to get the things outta my hair and ears. T'was a bit ugly close to 60 bites from the ankles up.
We drank beer and nursed our wounds for a couple hours before I could even get close to the still running tractor.
The whole underside of those pallets was solid honeycombed with wasps nests.
Sadly I dumped two of those on my nest and they won't die offFor those of you who never heard of insecticides... here is a news for you..
You can get some 14 Oz can at home depot and kill the whole nest.. Works great!
They will never return on the same spot.
No need for 5 gallons of gasoline dumping on your land.
