That is a whole lot of stinging suckers there. Impressive. Seems instead of the pyromaniacs here dumping gasoline down a "ground bee" hole that soapy water would work better and not kill the ground for grass. Just the yellow jackets.
And I echo the other comments; no way.
Wow, interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I exterminated 2 nest this weekend. Poured a mix of 5 gallons of water mixed with Bifen into the hole after the sun went down. As they were trying to escape I sprayed a foam and wasp insecticide over the hole. There looked to be between 100-150 jackets in each nest. I dug the nests out of the ground and they were about the size of a softball.

100-150???? That's all??? I believe I could handle a nest that size...These that are coming out by the hundreds are the ones I don't like..

I hate those things, I had a bit of a problem with them building their nests up in the tall eves of my house. Problem solved, dish detergent and water in one of those super soaker squirt guns that could reach the nest worked great for me. Just have to watch out they don't fall on you, only takes a few seconds for them to die.

Just throw a diamante ..
I'm not sure why but I watched that from start to finish. That was really interesting.
Now of course it's not as interesting as if he only picked the biggest 5 yellow jackets out and showed them to us...
The only thing that pisses them off worse than running over the nest with a lawn mower is hitting it with a weedeater. He got them pissed, then dug them out by hand. That trick ain't in my repertoire.
The one I did, I just sprayed some starting fluid into the hole after dark, followed by some spray can yellowjacket & wasp killer, and plugged the hole with a dirt clod. It was maybe 6-10 years ago and they never came back. I didn't dig it up looking for honey.
Some years before that, I got rid of a "paper wasp*" nest. Steel garbage can, with a bunch of wadded up newspaper on fire, clipped the branch off the Rhododendron and dropped it into the fire. No problem. * They're called paper wasps up here. They tend to peel strips off our cedar fence boards to make their nest out of...so I keep an eye out for that clue. That one was about the size of a cantaloupe.
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
So here's my question - how/why does the soap kill them?
Never tried it on bees.... But I can tell you soapy water kills Boxleder bugs like you just set them on fire. Spray on and wait a few minutes and watch them start dropping dead. I would get thousands of them gathering on my house or garage as the spring warmed up areas on the brick. Used that trick one year and havent had the same issue.
I believe the soap is supposed to clog their air intake ports.
Notice that I didn't use soap, 'cause I wanted to poison them (or set them afire) while they slept (starting fluid = 70%>80% Ether). I'm fixing to try starting fluid on moles...but with an ignition source. Electric would be nice, so I could back away 10' or so. Ideas would be welcome.

Never bothered to dig them up. If just make them dead!
