We have a colony of these monsters living in a hole under the cement border of my wife's flower bed. She has been stung a few times and wants to get rid of them. I bought a yellow jacket trap. For bait, I used apple juice, sugar, and a piece of raw pork. But, they don't seem interested in it. So, I changed to straight Coke. That doesn't seem to work either.

I know some of you have had good luck with baiting them. Any suggestions?

Canned chicken.

Your wife?

Go out at night and give a drink of gasoline...directly in the hole.

They always come around when I clean fish.

I fill their entrance hole with sevin dust after dark.

Takes a few days but they eventfully disappear.

This.

Moosetrot

Molotov cocktail! Place it and light it at night…then run!

I have used this with great success.

Caned chicken 10 oz 1/4 tsp of tarus sc mixed well.. put in wire cage so you don't kill anything unintentionally.

This but I take it a step further…I do it during the daytime and light it on fire…I get a lot of satisfaction seeing them try to get back into the burning hole!

I tried this for the first time this year and I can't get the bald face hornets or yellowjackets to go anywhere near it.

I sprayed dawn and water to kill the nest they took residence on the back door at my House. Then put axel grease where the nest was ain't been back.

Just observation—. I don’t see many yellow jackets or wasps this time of year unless wander into nest. They don’t seem to be flying by house or buildings much or on hummingbird feeder. But in another 3-4 weeks I see them in huge numbers when I’m extracting honey. I’m speculating the nest sizes and population isn’t quite at peak yet and they aren’t in such the frenzied feeding. Id think the bsit stations work now if you are right on location by nest but probably not as good farther away you get. My mom always made the plastic bottle traps and hung them in august and she’d get huge numbers of them then

Mountain Dew is good bait for the traps but you are better off with the sevin down the hole after dark to eliminate the entire colony.

I have sprayed them with diluted Sevin and it only makes mad.

The dust or powdered sevin works because they carry it on their legs into the nest and poisons all of them instead of the few that you sprayed.

permethrin will kill them over time, just wet the hole every night after dark
