That's what I do and it usually works fine. The bees would get it on
them and carry it into the nest and the whole thing would be dead
after a day or two. But the other day I happened to find a yellow
jacket's nest in the ground when I was mowing and got stung twice.
I've never been stung before when I happen to run over an in ground
nest with my lawn tractor.
Anyway, I dropped a liberal amount of seven around and in the hole to
the nest about a week ago and they are still lots of them critters
coming in and out. My box of seven is a couple of years old so I might
need to get another supply.
