Wasp and Hornet Spray

Same here but i get it from Home Depot. Works much better than others I have tried.

I'll go along with this for #3; excellent spray and works immediately.

If you find the nest or hole in the ground gopher gassers will kill them all. Mark where the hole is and go back after dark. Be cautious though if anything is near that can start a fire. Once when the nest was up in the eves of a shed I concocted a device where I was able to drop the gasser into a 1 inch galv pipe about three feet long and the end of that was hooked to a very long hose which I snaked into the eve. I waited until the gasser's flame was out and it was just smoking and dropped it into the pipe and it worked to wipe them out. Anyway, I have used these gassers to completely get rid of any colonies when I find the nests. The real problem is finding their nest but once you have done that you can wipe them out.

I just fried 2 ground hives tonight. First hit them with the foaming spray to plug the hole and knock out the guards. Then stuff the tip of the propane fired fogger into the hole and cook them. Pull out and the grass is burning around the hole so squirt in some drain oil/gas mix and hit it with the fogger at 6" away. That turns the hole into a blast furnace. I will check the holes at sunup.

I use good old non chlorinated brake cleaner. it's cheap and instant,. you can even play 'battleship' and shoot them in mid air and they drop like a rock. It's fun. Instant death.

No sprays I used killed off the YJ nests. When I used Tempo powder, the YJ brought it into the nest- Very little mess and no more YJ.
I used a lot of different sprays, they all killed the YJ I could see, but next day, more YJ came out.

I've never had great results with anything for killing them, but everything seems to work just fine when sprayed on the nest. they never come back to the nest. For killing them while they are flying, or even when the land, all the stuff that I use will knock them down, but then they get up and fly away. I have to stomp on them to kill them after spraying them.

My exterminator told me about Dawn Dish soap mixed 50% with water. You just spray everything with this and they never come back. They hate the soap residue.

As a contractor, I run into nests all the time. I stop whatever I'm doing and start spraying. I always have two cans with me. Right now, I have four because I'm working on a house that seems to have more then normal. I also spray myself with DEET once I know I'm dealing with wasp nests. Up on a ladder, it's hard to run away when they get mad!!!

For best results, and the least amount of risk to myself, I go after them the most aggressively early in the morning when it's the coolest outside. This is especially true in an attic. They are sluggish and easily killed with out risk of attack when it's cooler out.

my neighbor had his whole house infested with yellow jackets, he had to hire an exterminator, make a hole in the outside wall, and then use a dust vac operating 24/7 to kill what comes out, they die when they get sucked in.. then after all that, they moved into MY house, even between the walls!. I had to use foaming wasp spray for weeks to kill them.. fake wasp nests keep them away now..

First I’ve heard of that trick

Exactly how I eradicated them from one of my rentals. Set up the shop vac with water and dish soap inside and the crevice nozzle attached to a stepladder pointed directly at where they were going in and out. Ran 3 days and nights and filled the shop vac with dead yellow jackets. Thousands of them, way too many for brake cleaner. Sat in a lawn chair and watched the almost steady stream of victims coming out but none going back in. The whole vac was loaded with foul smelling carcasses that I dumped in a hole and covered up. Never been back, since. Works like a charm.
