Question 1

The yellow jacket ground nest I have is under my front walkway. Any suggests on how to kill them?

Accepted Answer

I have tried a lot of sprays for yellow jackets in the ground and this foaming spray seems to be working the best.  When I spray with other sprays, the yellow jackets come out of the hole and chase me.  This foam has no real odor and the foam quickly seals them in the hole while it is killing them.  This keeps them from flying out and coming after me.  I just have to watch for the few that are outside the hole and they always seem to be puzzled long enough to make it work safely.  I think the low odor helps here.  One thing I learned is to shake the can well then spray the solution into the hole for several seconds, filling the hole as much as possible.  The foam will then rise up out of the hole and the next day they are gone.  Good luck.

Question 2

Wait is this an aerosol spray or foam?

Accepted Answer

Hi there--Lets see.  Its' an aerosol that you put a small straw into the spray opening (included).  When you spray it, can spray pretty far, about 5-6-feet and it is like a foam that can get into places the bees go, like under fascia on siding.  If you keep the straw out, it sprays like a regular aerosol.  Worked good for me.
