Poor ground wasps

[showcrop]

I could hear one rattling through the hose about every five seconds for over an hour.

Probably the whole whole nest of the poor little fellas is wiped out.

I did the same trick to get rid of bees under the siding of my house. I used a section of PVC pipe to create a really long extension. Propped it up against the house with the end right at the point the bees flew in and out. Stuck the shop vac in the other end. Turned it on and sat back for an hour, drank a beer and watched the bees get sucked up. I sprayed some bee killer in the shop vac and duct taped the opening closed. Waited a few days and had over a quart of dead bees.

The shop vac trick has worked well for me also. A couple of hand fulls of Seven work too.

I hope these were not Honey Bees

My son just did the same thing last night to a nest of Yellow Jackets which found a small hole just below a second story window in his house. Works well...he taped a 6' length of 2" PVC to the wall and hooked a shop vac up to it.

Never had any love for wasps however the honey bees I leave alone.
Last batch of yellow jackets had a robust fire built on top of their nest . Kept it going for a few days .
The little monsters had previously stung me 40-50 times before I could get far enough away. Used up 1/2 a bottle of Benadryl on that episode. Sure works to keep the pain, itching and swelling down.

The last nest I went after I used a can of wasp spray waited till it was about dark stood back and got'em... It tool me a couple weeks to find the nest it was on a bank on the side of my drive they got me every time I mowed it for several weeks...

I walked that bank several times I could not find them my mower sure pizz them off tho... Yellow jackets are a mean sting...

I was using a DR field and brush mower when I found a bumbl bee nest in the ground. I vacated the premises in a hurry! The auto shutoff didn t work so the mower ran till the tank was empty. Next day there was a big pile of yellow jackets there! I poured some gasoline into the hole and never saw any yellow jackets there anymore!

Local guy advertises he will remove yellowjackets and hornets- sells them to a medical outfit for their venom, so he can't poison them. He uses the shop vac trick, but puts a chunk of dry ice in it before he starts. The CO2 from the melting dry ice conks them out but doesn't poison them.

A big pan of boiling water down the hole will get them. It will heat soak down also into the dirt. It works good on ant hills also.

I didn't know that honey bees went into the ground. How do you get the honey out?
