I had a yellow jacket problem this time last year. I burned my house down and built a new one.

I think stores like Home Depot and lowes sell a spray that kills them.

Call a pest control company. My mom had this issue last year. I sprayed and killed a lot. They found another entry/exit without skipping a beat. The pest control guy used some sort of powder and they were done. Money well spent.

They make traps and bait, but DO NOT get the bait on yourself under ANY circumstance unless you want to die.

I had to get in my attic with some spray. They made a huge softball sized nest on one of the rafters. I kept finding them in my house and could figure out why.

If you have the same problem then do not, I repeat, DO NOT go on the offensive with less than 2 full cans of spray. If there's ever a time to bust out your cargo pants it's for this type if mission.

Most yellow jacket sprays you find have a good 10-15 feet of range. Wait til 9 or 10 a clock when they all are resting and unload on them then haul arse. This stuff kills them very quick.

Demon XP. Buy it from Amazon, drop it in a 3 gallon sprayer. Let it dissolve and spray eaves and base of house. You won't have any kind of insect living within the next 6 months.

deltamethrin dust. Wait until dusk, puff some of this in any entry or exit that you can find. They'll be gone within a day or two.

Re: bees,mindsets in soffit or eaves, etc.

I bought a fogger, put it on the end of a stick, propped it right near the opening where the bees were going in an out, and it killed most of them and the others left. I propped the fogged up there right after dark so they would all be in there.

First, you're going to want to harvest their sweet honey. Just put a bucket under the hive and give a squeeze. A good Yellow Jacket hive can yield gallons of honey every year. Yellow Jacket honey goes for big bucks at the farmer's market because it is rare.

Congrats on the profit.
