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.

I ran over a nest bush hogging last week and it was just as my tractor was bogging down from the high grass. I shifted like Mario Andretti to get out but looked like I went a few rounds with Mike Tyson when I got away.

I drank heavily that afternoon with a head slathered in Colgate.

If you're able to, rig up something with a shop vac and duct tape it to a hole in the soffit, or where ever they are going in and out at. Put soapy water inside the shop vac to kill them when they get in there so you dont open it and have a bunch buzzing around.

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.
