      Diatomaceous earth has very tiny sharp edges that scrape off some of the waxy coating on insects that prevents them from dehydrating; the DE is not directly poisonous, so I'm not sure if it would be transferred into a yellow jacket nest in a way that would be lethal to the rest of the population.

    Been dealing with yellowjacket nests every year for 45 years, tried everything with mixed results. The one solution that is cheap, and has worked everytime. Even on those hard to find nests in ivy, retaining walls, blackberries, etc. Figure out generally where the entrance is and remember it. Go back at night with about a quart of gasoline, dump it in that spot. Gas fumes being heavier than air, settles into the nest and suffocates the bees. Next morning, no hive activity. I know, not environmentally friendly, well, neither is all the various insecticides dumped in volume trying to kill those resilient ill tempered creatures. I'd rather deal with sharks that have lasers strapped to their heads, than yellow jackets.

    We tried this method with European wasps down here in Australia - using a red headlamp as they still attacked a light at night - and were later astounded to discover wasps making piles of the dust roughly 2 metres away from the holes. By midday all trace of the dust was gone and the nest survived :/
    Until we flooded it 2 weeks later and dug it up

    I just applied for 3rd time. And I think I saw the queen buzzing around the outside of nest inspecting. Is that normal? It keeps pouring down rain every afternoon and washes it away. And they still keep coming back.

    I've used Sevin with 3 or 4 underground nests on my property and a neighbor's, and it's always done the trick within 24 hours. If the nest is particularly busy, I've used a wrapping paper tube or water squirter from Dollar Tree to get the dose closer without standing on top of the nest.

  • @gungadinn
    @gungadinn Před rokem +17

    I've used Sevin before and it works well.
    My favorite method however is to use a propane torch with a piezo igniter. Turn on the gas flow and place the tip in the hole where the bees are located. Count to 10, then squeeze the trigger and get ready for a moderate bang. Don't exceed 10 seconds or the bang might become a boom.

    We have used Sevin mixed with Tuna fish when we have yellow jackets around our outdoor eating area. They carry the mixture back to the nest.
    Also have used Drione exactly the same way you used Sevin in the video. Works great. I usually dust the entrance when it is nighttime.

    I got lite up today while push mowing my yard. By the time you realize you're being attacked, there's probably twelve of fifteen yellow jackets already swarming around you. I've never seen them in the yard this early in the year. Usually, I find them in August or September.
