I forgot to mention that KEY point to getting the most complete annihilation of the entire nest.

LConn, this is what we use at the apartments. Stops them dead in their tracks, most don't even make it off the nest. Doesn't take much either. It's like they are frozen in suspended animation. Available at Home Depot

Love killing those bastards. My daughter is allergic, we learned when she was 2 with an ER visit. I have a quarterly exterminator but still kill the solo flyers anytime I can. Worthless angry bugs.

When I was in the radio bidness, I bought the pro stuff by the case from Graybar. I went in those radio shacks with two cans and hit em with both at the same time. We also had to watch for snakes inside the shacks. Then, after you fought your way through the snakes and wasps to get to your transmitter, you had to start over because the snakes and wasps loved those warm cabinets.

And a lot less flameable, and won't kill the plants or grass, or leave the house smelling like a chemical spill..

On really big nests, I'll open the crimp on the shell, dump out the shot, then refill with floor sweep or kitty litter. You can get up close and not worry about hurting anything other than the wasps.

UPDATE: The next day after first battle there were 10 or 12 back on nest as I didn't knock it down. Watched all this past week as more and more (yellow jackets) came back until yesterday there must have been over 50 back on it. I wouldn't buy that stuff I used initially ever again, although it was advertised all over as being a good cheap product. Like others mentioned you have to drown them with it and I might add, stomp them. Went back to Walmart and got another product that looked more deadly. Took advice and waited until late night so that they would all be home. Put on my battle gear, heavy winter jacket, headgear, welder type gloves and even a mask... didn't want to get stung on the lips or snoz.

This stuff worked much better than the other. Knocked them down quicker and they weren't marching towards me when they hit the ground. Only saw one fly away... I spared his life so he might tell any others that I don't play. Knocked the nest down and hopefully I'm done for the time being. I hate messing with those suckers.

Any dish soap and water in a pot is all you need. It covers the whole hive at one time and none fly away. They fall instantly and are dead within seconds, and you never have to go buy anything.
Or you can spend $50 on a case of something that does the same thing.

I have a 1 gal pump sprayer I use the soapy water in, only good up to about 5-6' overhead tho, the canned stuff comes out after that.

reminds me, need to spray under the trailers today for red wasps, they seem to love the sq tube.

GOOD KILL! Spectracide works well and has the farthest jet spray, up to 27ft. I use a lot of it at the farm in AR. I but it at Home Depot by the 2-pack, usually a better deal that way. HD was out last week so I bought 6 cans of the cheapest brand. Paid $1.99ea. Hopefully it'll work as good as Spectracide.
