A new method for yellow jacket extermination... call in an air strike.

Damn it Jim... I'm a doctor, not an exterminator!

 

I'd say it was just about right!

I HATE BEES! ALL BEES! You did a great job.

For underground yellow jackets I have in the past used 2 gallons of 87 octane + 2 bottles of Sterno. I used to light it from 10 feet away with CRC brake cleaner with the little red hose attached and a Bic lighter.

If the hole started to burn out I would fill balloons with gas or Sterno and roll them into the hole.

FIRE FIRE I LOVE FIRE !

 

Not. Hilarious. OMG.

I want to run screaming down the street, now at 4:30 in the AM, just reading this. Serious heebie jeebies. One of my most despised creatures on Earth... but I did develop really good instincts and reflexes as a child, growing up on a farm and in the woods.... knowing "the sound" when you step on something you wish you didn't... stop, don't want to think about it any more....

Do like the flaming chair pic, though.

 

Think an RPG is too much?

 

Nice roast, but that fire was not near big enough! :frown2: :frown5:

 

I knew there was a reason I liked you! A fellow pyro!!!

 

This is frigg'n hilarious! I've never had ta fry these pests, but I'm gonna remember this if I ever do.

 

Glad you got it taken care of but I don't like those creatures either

 

Looks like they had been in there for awhile!!! Nice Flaming Chair pic..

 

Glad you took care of those vile critters. If anyone has to deal with a nest of these baddies wait until just after sundown. They will all be in the hive, then let them have it.

 

Anything worth doing is worth over doing!!

 

I had a neighbor years ago who hit a nest by mistake with a weed eater once (he was changing the string and popped a nest). He got stung 20-30 times before he could sprint across the yard and dive fully clothed into the pool.

I'm trying to imagine any other way to take care of these suckers in a chair like that. I'm thinking a giant tarp to bag it up (maybe one of those big christmas tree bags), but that would require a lot more close contact than I would like... Your solution had the added benefit of fire, which makes anything very cool.

 

Not too much, but I would think not a good idea to explode and spread the little critters over a wide area. Think contain and destroy. Flamethrower, etc.

 

We had a big nest at the annual British Car Day I attended In Dayton, OH, this August. Fortunately, it was discovered quickly, but not until after a few people were dive bombed. A big sign was hurriedly put up showing where NOT to walk or stand, and that was good, because it would have been EXACTLY where each Class winner would pull for each photo shot! Can you even imagine the ensuing mayhem?

 

Perhaps they were told something was longer and that was their basis for measurement? If ya know what I mean?

But I agree, 90% of those cans don't go past 10' at beast. Glad you got rid of the little buggers. Though I would have used far more flammable material. But then again I am a bit of a pyro.
