Would suggest borrowing a bee suit from a bee keeper and getting a flame thrower.

I belive if I remember correctly a bee suit isnt thick enough for wasps....

My Hubby's weapon of choice for yellow jackets and other stinging insects is starter fluid As diva said, aerosol sprays come out very cold: the ether of starting fluid knocks them right out of the air.

Dude, maybe all of your yellowhammers heard that they weren't entirely safe in your neck of the woods, and moved east. I see them all the time around here.

We will eat anything

That's not what we call a "wasp" nest in Texas....we call it a hornet nest...and I woulfd go up to it in the middle of the night....knock it clear with a baseballl bat
..then come back in a half hour(just to make sure everybody's home..and chunk it on a fire.....

Those are hornets here too. Wasps build a cellular type thingy. They all suck though

Yellow jackets.
Wasn't giving up. One can raid, no effect. Water hose for ten minutes, followed by shop vac connected to hollow aluminum roof rake pole, ghostbuster style, wasn't very effective. Hose for another ten minutes knock down nest with shovel. Hose some more while trying to start it. Soo glad the old thing starts quicker than a car. Getting everything pulled up, slow hydraulics caused two more stings, whew, they didn't follow....

Take a video

Wish I took a video, plan on selling it someday thinking a vid in winter covered with snow with quick start will help. Vid of my day today should have been just as good, hadn't been started since Oct. I think yellow jacket nest is more convincing than Snow. Someone could fight to get something started in cold weather, get it going, shut her down and then film a easy start with snow on her...

Burn it anyway
