======================
I've got a little problem here, and I'm open to suggestions. I
have a
yellow jacket nest that needs to be dealt with. The little SOBs
got
me twice before I found the nest. They are in a concrete block
wall
on the side of my property, and they come and go through a tiny
hole
in the side of one of the blocks. If they were in the ground, or
if
the hole was in the top of the wall, I would pour a cup of
gasoline
down the hole and be done with it. Since the hole is in the side
of
the wall, there is no way to pour anything down it. They
definitely
have to go. I will be ordering 3 tones of hay soon, and right
there
is where it will be unloaded and stacked. The little buggers
will
sting heck out of everyone concerned!
===================

How to handle this?

I would use the wasp spray and put a stream directly in the hole.
Give it a good shot to try to kill the nest. I did this last week and
2 shots killed nest in a bush.
I spray during the day and have never been bitten and I'm alergic
too! If in the ground, I'll make up a gallon of malathion and dump in
hole. Then seal the hole with chalk or whatever. Only time I've had
trouble eliminating nest is when they are in the siding corners and
have multiple entrances.
