Default yellow jackets

Have any of you found a product that yellow jackets will carry down into
their underground lair which will poison the entire hive - much like ant
bait? These are between a concrete foundation and block porch so anything
flammable is out of the question. Anything that I spray at them just ticks
them off and after the initial kill off they are livid. I tossed a
shovelful of morter mix onto the hole and then sprayed it with water a good
while after dark. By mid morning they had tunneled around it.
Tenacious little buzzers! I more than a little concerned for the grandkids
who, in spite of warnings and observation, could wander into them.

As always, TIA!

Wasp and hornet spray, shortly after sundown, has never failed me.
