======================
I've got a little problem here, and I'm open to suggestions. I
have a
yellow jacket nest that needs to be dealt with. The little SOBs
got
me twice before I found the nest. They are in a concrete block
wall
on the side of my property, and they come and go through a tiny
hole
in the side of one of the blocks. If they were in the ground, or
if
the hole was in the top of the wall, I would pour a cup of
gasoline
down the hole and be done with it. Since the hole is in the side
of
the wall, there is no way to pour anything down it. They
definitely
have to go. I will be ordering 3 tones of hay soon, and right
there
is where it will be unloaded and stacked. The little buggers
will
sting heck out of everyone concerned!

How to handle this?

You might try getting one of those powerful water guns and mix Dawn into
the water. Much safer than gas.

Disclaimer: I know for sure it works on wasps.....yellow jackets???,,,It
would be worth a try from me but YMMV! :)

Good luck!!

They make flying insect killer that shoots a stream 10' or so. I've used it
successfully on yellow jacket nests several times.

Wait till nightfall and put the nozzle of one of these cans into the crack
and have at it. When done (?!) seal the hole with something pliable like
silicone caulk. The fumes as well as the liquid should finish them off.

We carry on our service trucks the "can" of wasp spray that shoots some 20
feet. I'd take CE 's suggestion!
