Yellow Jackets got me

Last fall, soon after we moved onto our land, I found an underground yellow jacket nest and successfully eliminated those bastards. Today I was weedeating on the other side of my yard and apparently “found” a new nest. Took 6 hits - shin, hip, ribs, both arms, and throat.
They even fired a warning shot. I felt a hit on my shin, but I thought the powerful weedeater just kicked up something that hit me, as it’s prone to do. A few minutes later the attack came. Later I realized that the first hit I felt was a sting and I didn’t heed their warning.
Touché, yellow jackets. The score is now even.
But not for long.

Just round up some of your copperheads and moccasins and send them in to clean house

Zip tie a push mower in the on position and park over the entrance. The vibrations will draw them out...directly into the blades.

Please video retaliation strike.

Throw a hay bale on top and light it on fire

I feel for you. But how did you only take 6 hits? Usually, once you are marked, you are going to get lit up.

Melt some aluminum and pour it down the hole! Dig the solidified mass out and set it up as a reminder to others of the fate that awaits them.

I once got hit 19 times. In the woods on a hot August day.

Wow, that's early. I don't think I have ever seen any before August.

Arguably some of the meanest bastards on the planet. The only way to eliminate them is something not environmentally friendly.
Worth it.

What's your plan of attack?

I ran like the wind
. I was surprised it wasn’t more. The minute I realized what was happening, I thought I was a goner. The initial sting really doesn’t hurt that bad - not nearly as bad as a red wasp imo. Takes a few minutes for the hurt to start, and they were still hurting the same when I went to bed like 8 hours later.

Looks like I’ll need to break out the bee suit once again...

This is going to be great.

At least you found them by accident and it was unavoidable, and unfortunate what happened to you.
Unlike one of my stupid cousins when we were kids who saw a hornets nest up in a tree limb about 15 ft. off the ground and decided it would be a great idea to shoot it down with his bow and arrow. Dumbass stood almost directly under it and shot the arrow into the bulk of the nest and they came pouring out the bottom on a mission.
He stood there briefly admiring his handiwork and got totally lit up as he was running away. The worst ones he took was when he got hit in his face and one of his ears swelled up so much he looked like Dumbo.

Nothing makes a man move faster than stumbling onto a jacket nest

The nest I took out last year was pretty anticlimactic. I hit them at night, and when I shined the light on the hole you could see a bunch right inside the hole but none were coming out. I emptied a can of foaming wasp spray into the hole, and a few crawled out but couldn’t fly away due to the foam. Followed up by dumping some gas down the hole, but I think the spray pretty much took care of them. Checked the next day and no signs of life.
I still have to find this one. I know the general area but didn’t see where exactly they came from, and I hope where I already hit with the weedeater has the hole exposed now. If their hole is still under the weeds though I won’t have easy access.

As a kid around 10 years old we were messing around one time and ran into a nest. They lit us up the entire time we were running to my buddies grandmothers. I ended up getting a total of 75 stings, and a hospital visit with a needle.
