Nope. Only right way to do it is wait till high noon and hit it WFO with a trimmer. R.I.P.

I was bushhoging a field once that had a huge rose bush in it that I decided to save. I was backing the bushhog under the overhanging branches and hit a hornet's nest. Got stung a bunch of times including in the face. I swelled up enough that I went to the doc in the box to make sure I wasn't having an alergic reaction.

This stuff will wipe em out, make sure you hit the hole. when can is empty run like hell just in case.

last summer we had a wasp nest about the same size at the OP's next to an RTU that we had to work on at one of our buildings...(was too close to where we were working) and we didn't have any regular spray, but we happened to have the fire extinguisher company on site to change out expired extinguishers...got at huge CO2 extinguisher from him, froze the whole thing with a good inch of ice on it, trapping them in...ripped it off and threw it in a bag!

Saturate that nest with spray after it gets dark. We'll always remember you if it doesn't go well.

thanks alot

 

[jake wells]

Yeah i see it now. Good luck Jake[emoji1]

oh no i had the owners call a pest control business to eradicate the nest since there is children living next door better safe than sorry.

Yeah they don't play around and will lay a whoopin' on you.

i already had a sortie with ground yellow jackets but i killed them with a 1:1 mix of malathon and gasoline.

If the carb cleaner doesn't work you could always try brake cleaner.

I hate yellow jackets worse than anything. By the time you see them it's usually too late. Then you make the 100yd dash with whatever equipment your holding, because you know you aren't going back after it.

Starting fluid will work, if it's all you have. I always try to keep a couple of cans of bee spray in the truck though.

LOL, not me, I left a stihl 460 running after I dropped a huge honeybee tree. They were up in the top in the trunk. when it hit the ground they came out, I ran like a stripped ass ape to the truck. sit there and watched the bees and the saw run. When they calmed down I gathered my stuff up and hit the road.

Whats fun is when you find one of them underground nest by those little yellow jackets, is get the push mower and put the throttle wide open and roll it on the nest and leave it and sit back and watch the carnage.

I was running a excavator at the house cleaning out some creeks and brush. It was hot, so I was in shorts and tennis shoes. I came upon some trees that
needed a saw, so went and got the 260 out of the shed. Had to jump the creek to get to what I was cutting. Fully committed, I look down to see I'm going to land on a yellow jacket nest.
Ran like the wind carrying that saw. Got about 15 stings. Still remember picking stingers out of my socks.

Push mower and a trimmer is what I normally use to locate them. Lol.

 

[Guido Salvage]

CRC Brakleen will freeze them and knock them out of the sky.

 

[dieselfitter]

That wasp freeze is the only wasp spray I have seen that drops em fast as gas does. You should have got that thing this winter. We put garbage bags on them on cold mornings and cut off and tie bag. cut slits and add a couple couple pads soaked with alcohol and a couple days later. Presto. instant nest to hang up in shop.

I do something like that. Instead of pads soaked with alcohol, I just put the bag in a co-workers car.
