Noticed a few yellow jackets in a downstairs light fixture and killed a couple in the kitchen. Yesterday after getting home from work, I did a walk around the house. Noticed lots of these little yellow creatures going in around a window frame in a finished room in the basement. Apparently, they are holed up in some of the blocks and possibly the walls in that area. What would be the best way to get rid of 'em? I know I can't gas them and set them on fire. I need my house. Should I wait 'til after sunset and dowse the frame with poison and then seal around the window frame? If poison didn't kill them, would they eventually starve or do you think the would try to find another way out and possibly end up all in my house? Should I just call pest control? Help.

Maybe some help here: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/o...ll/13751/page1/

They are dangerous this time of year. I had 3 nest in the yard but never knew it til yesterday when I cut the grass. After the first pass of the mower they flew out very agitated.
Wait until night, then pour some gas in the hole. No need for fire, the gas will kill 'em.

This. Maybe put a block or some plywood over the hole after you pour the gas in. Lighting it off might be more satisfying, but it might not kill all of them.

Did yall read his question? They're in the infrastructure of the house. Now way in heck i'm pouring gas in/on it...don't care how satisfying it is (and I hate 'em). Watched a guy kill a swarm of honey bees with soapy water...says they "drown"? That might be an idea (better than gas in the wall...at least to me)? Some sort of pyrethroid fogger might work after dark too?

Pyrethrin in the hole after dark. It will kill them and it is organic so it will not harm your house or your family.

It is made from a flower.

I would not block the hole until you have killed the nest. Try a dry fogger in the house and hose down their access point with poison each evening. I had a hornet's nest in the chimney once and blocked it off after spraying - I ended up with a cabin full of hornets.

Spray foam

I'll tell you a secret family recipe that will kill every flying stinging insect I've encountered. Mix up some dish washing liquid with water in a cup or spray bottle and juice em with it. Instant death. It kills em better than that crap you buy.

The water and dish washing liquid work decent I tied it at the house this week.

i just paid the exterminator $75 to come and take care of mine. They found a small crack in the mortar in between the bricks. Best part, I was no where around while he was working.

I hit a stump with my bush hog this weekend and kicked up a nest. my buddy was behind me in his ranger. almost fell off laughing. he screamed like a school girl sitting on beibers lap. mean little bastages.
