if you have access to the hole gasoline kills them instantly. mark
ho;le in daylight do job at niite with no lites, they will attack
lites....

with a hole in the ground type a bucket of gasoline is instant death,
no need to lite the hydrocarbons kill them

And taint the groundwater? NOT a good idea AT ALL!


I had a similar problem with an old, light fixture hole that was covered up
with a shutter. Yellow jackets (or variant) had made a nice home in there. I
used the expanding foam and it worked like a charm!

Caution: Use rubber gloves (kitchen type) when using this stuff..I managed
to get some on my hands the first time I used it and nothing would get it
off. I tried everything from alcohol to gasoline!

Mineral spirits, acetone, and lacquer thinner have all worked for me
to remove canned foam. I usually buy the medium expansion stuff. The
fast expanding style can explode boxes if you're not careful. g

For bees, I hope everyone calls a beekeeper to remove them and keep
them alive. They'll usually do it for free. There is a real problem
with our honeybees dying out so keeping as many bees alive as possible
is a Good Thing(c). Bees are good guys. They keep our foods growing
through pollination!

I like bees too.
But it is wrong to suggest that a beekeeper will do it for free.
Maybe if you could turn back the clock about a hundred years, but not
today.
