My son used his face to draw some yellow jackets out of an air vent. I'm glad he dropped by for some Benadryl. He looks really cool

with a swollen face and big red ears.

Wow! All i use is Appicide.A powder,my product of choice,AI being carbal,sevin dust.Quicker than pyrethiens.I ont use a bee suit,dont care for them.Do them as I get the call,dont have to wait till night.So far this season 47 yellow jacket nests,3stings.Took my grandson out this afternoon to a friend of my wifes house.In ground nest,2 entrances dusted them both,then stepped back to watch the carnage!
For the above ground nests I use ice tubbing on the end of bulb duster,supported by bamboo rod.Tubbing tapped to rod.
Used to use the pro control plus on a extension pole.


Every day is good,some are just better!

Sevin dust is what we use and it works pretty good.

I got a call yesterday from a local pest control company I get ADC referrals from about yellowjackets in a wall of a house. They know I do honeybee cut outs.
I met the tech and the homeowner and listened to them buzzing in a closet ceiling. I don't know what the tech sprayed in the hole they were going in and out of but she sure put the smack down on them quick. It was something with perytherin in it. She dropped them like a bad habit. It looked like they were trying to drag larve out after 2-3 minutes but they were falling out dead.
It really warmed my heart as many times as they have lit me up stumbling through the woods.

The tech had asked me what I thought would be the best method to get them out of the wall space. You should of seen the look on the techs face when I told them they were'nt honeybees. A can of gas and a match would have been my first choice.
The homeowner fell out laughing.

Soooo, spraying from underneath AT NIGHT is outa the question...I'm thinking.

I'm considering, at night:

1)Have cardboard box handy

2)Lopper cut sapling just below opening while grabbing (gently) above nest

3)Lopper cut just above nest--dropping it into box--while the lopper guy is spraying the nest as soon as it lands inside the box.

OR OR OR

1)friend shines light from safe distance and 90* to the side

2)cut open nest while spraying simultaneously

CAN I SMOKE THEM OUT ???????




CHOOT EM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if the landowner wasn't in a hurry to get rid of'em, wait till your first frost, and you can cut the nest down leavin some of the limb's that it is made on, then put it in a garbage sack give it a good dose of hornet spray and tie the bag closed, put it in another bag to be sure and then take it somewere warm and leave it overnight, next day take it outside and open it up and empty the dead guys out, then take pictures of it and puttem on e-bay, wont be long you'll be stickin some cash in your pocket, around here that nest should bring 300 bucks easy, make sure to leave 10 inches or more of the limbs it's built on,i work in the woods logging and i see a few and that's wat i do,,also whatever spray you use, test spray a little spot on the entrance hole to make sure the type of spray doesn't dissolve the nest, easy money,,,,remember good freeze and good spray, and warm place overnite, and open bag outside====money

Well, he called me bout a week ago and said something ripped the nest to shreds, so I don't get to crawl up to it in the dark after all.

I told him it was probably a skunk.

Wait for the first cold snap at night " bees " don't fly at night "and cut all branches from around the nest . Put on a pair of gloves and pick it up slowly and carefully . Put in the box and secure the lid . Drill a small hope in an upper corner just big enough that you can insert the hose from wasp spray . Spray entire can into box wait 15 min and remove lid clean bees out . Spray with hairspray to protect then and keep thier shape . Hang it in your man cave or sell it to your taxidermy man ! make a couple bucks . PS After it gets cool and only at night . My momma always said a word to the wise was sufficient ! I have several and I have yet to be stung ! Don't drink 4 or 5 beers and get superman on it or the out come will be much different ! Good luck
