Default Dry (powder) insecticide to kill yellowjackets in wall

in the hole, but found out from the manufacturer that it is not meant
for yellowjackets.

Is there a powder I can spray into the wall, rather than a smelly wet
insecticide? I have a can of spray stuff, but I'd rather use something
orderless and dry, if there is such a product.

Thanks!

Diatomaceous Earth (ant powder) and caulk up the hole.
Shop Vacs work great on yellowjackets. I vacuum up a half gallon of
soapy water first to drown them.
