Mix it with powdered laundry detergent and make napalm instead.

I find denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner works well with these monster stinging insects...HIGHLY FLAMMABLE so be careful.I know for a fact...don't ask how

you may have a "super-cell" with multiple entrances/exits under your backyard.
there may be as many as 10,000 bees in it, and there's only 1 SURE way of killing them ALL. (i've dealt w/many supercells).

find ALL the entrance holes and position someone next to each w/an appropriately sized(neck)bottle filled w/gasoline.
on signal, each of you simultaneously plug their hole with the bottle, and stomp it into the hole as deeply as possible.
do not remove/disturb the bottles for at least a week.

ALSO: if you have either an old tree-stump, or big hole from a tree-stump in your yard, that's the source of the problem, and it must be gassed with the rest of it.
the bees love the pathways left by rotting tree roots and will invade old stumps with a passion.

or get a pet "polecat",that's a skunk for the uninitiated......
they dig down into the yellow jacket nest at night and eat them and the larvae....I don't see how they do it but they do.

Great suggestions everyone! I can picture my yard now, a battle zone with two smoking craters in it, and skunks patrolling the perimeter. It would definitely keep the neighbors away, thinking I am crazy (I am a little anyway), and I actually enjoy the smell of skunk. Now I need a helmet and flack jacket before I do battle with these beasts. Chaaaaaaarge!

Is that before or after they're cooked?

I hope that my yard doesn't look like that golf course when I'm done.

Glad you're okay. I think I disturbed some yesterday - got a couple of stings, and actually had an allergic reaction to them. I could breathe fine, but I got dizzy, chills, flushed very red, and my heart was racing. Very scary feeling!

Only if you're going after the Go-(L)-pher's...

The way my dad did it was this. Wait until at least two hours after dark. Take an empty glass Coca Cola bottle, the old fashioned returnable kind. Fill it full of gasoline. Walk over to the nest hole in the ground. Invert the coke bottle and cram the open top of the Coke bottle down the hole and leave it there. Then walk away.

The gasoline will kill the Yellow Jackets. It doesn't take two gallons. It takes about 10 ounces.

Next night remove bottle. Save it for reuse next time.

Being a University of Georgia Football Fan, fighting Yellow Jackets is something I LIVE for. Of course the EPA isn't too happy about dad's method, but it works. I think 2 gallons is way too much.
