Today our brave forces launched another wave of attacks on the wasp colony. (My neighbor said they are yellow jackets)

We started off with a braising with a big propane torch. The kind you kill weeks with.

That gets them, but they fly away quickly. So I had the brilliant idea to run the hose in their hive. They have a underground nest.

That seemed to really piss them off. I got a few dozen with the torch after that.

Then I just sat and waited for them to congregate and gave them a blast from the torch. But the little buggers kept coming.

On to the next part. I poured a few cups of gasoline down the hole. Per the internet this is an effective way to do it.

Then covered the thing with several inches of mud and packed it down.

I'm hopeful this will do it.

Boy this sounds mean when you type it all out like this. But victims on the human side include children and myself. (plus a dog)

That makes it ok right?

I'd say kill the fuckers.

Hadhox: nice! You made me laugh.

Bees are NOT my friends! Murder them all!!!

I have killed plenty of hornets, sometimes you have to be the predator.

I'm starting to feel like the crazy mass murderer though. lol.

Update: They have dug away the dirt pile and are trying to get into another hole.

Jesus! They are like super genius wasps.

Sounds like they will return and be like 6 feet tall when they do!

THEM

I'm about ready to light the whole tree on fire just to get them.

ever think about calling in a pro?

I'm considering it. Per the intewebs yellow jackets are so tough that not all exterminators will even take the job.

EEK! Beekeeper?

National Guard?

Animal Control?

Exorcist?

I think I need a weapon of extraordinary magnitude.

Laslo: A fighting force of extraordinary magnitude, did you say? A Fistful of Yen part 1

chemicals.

BenwinM: nice catch. I didn't even remember where it came from when it popped into my head. KFM

darcydude: Part I
included chemicals. I may try them again.
