You might try getting one of those powerful water guns and mix Dawn into
the water. Much safer than gas.

Disclaimer: I know for sure it works on wasps.....yellow jackets???,,,It
would be worth a try from me but YMMV!

Good luck!!

They make flying insect killer that shoots a stream 10' or so. I've used it
successfully on yellow jacket nests several times.

Wait till nightfall and put the nozzle of one of these cans into the crack
and have at it. When done (?!) seal the hole with something pliable like
silicone caulk. The fumes as well as the liquid should finish them off.

For something like that I use the carpenter ant dust that is dispensed through a
tube.

We carry on our service trucks the "can" of wasp spray that shoots some 20
feet. I'd take CE 's suggestion!

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 the tiny hole is their only access, then the solution is easy. Wait until
a few hours after darkness sets in, and they're inactive. You will be able
to walk right up to the opening and quickly block the opening with caulk, or
polyurethane foam, etc. If there's no other way out, they will eventually
die. I've done this many times.

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.

I had a tiny hole by my front door. I proped up the shop vac nozzle right at the
hole and turned it on. Plunk, plunk, plunk. Yellowjacket sucked down the vac
hose as they exit or try to enter the nest. I let it run a couple hours, then
plugged the hole with cault. Problem solved. A little spritz of insecticide into
the vac nozzle imediately after I turned it off, and plug the hose with a rag
took care of any survivors.
