I know, I know.... but the enormity of all the niggling pieces of plastic in my life and what to do with them/how to avoid them is a point of contention with me lately.

Gasoline is organic, correct? It comes out of the ground?? And kills yellow jackets?

found an underground yellow jacket nest the other day mowing after I ran the mower over it, luckily I was able to get away before they found me and I avoided cutting around that spot. the last underground nest I had was in my compost pile, I tried gas, water, soap, and wasp killer, nothing worked and they'd be back in a week meaner than before. I finally took my shop vac hose and connected it to the tail pipe of my truck, stuck it in the hole and let it idle for a while, they were finally gone and those that weren't in the hole were gone the next day. This nest is in a buckwheat field that will get cut this week so I'll hit them with a can of spray before we get there.

Sitting on the back stone staircase and discovered these wasps are nesting under them. On the phone yakking and they flew around me but didn't seem too worried, nor am I, so will leave them alone.
On the other hand I am painting the house trim due to severe fading of the California brand paint and spotted a group of hornets that have nested in the rake overhang peak having gained access through a small gap in the trim. This will be tough to address.

Crazy-looking wasp, I wonder what it is.
The hornets I'd just hit with a jet of Spectracide or similar after sunset and see how it goes. If you can aim the jet in the gap for a few seconds you should be good.

Got about 5 wasp stings the other day while demoing a deck.
It was unpleasant.

Looks to be a Mud Dauber, No wonder I am not inundated with spiders. insectidentification.org
I don't want to break out the 40, I was going to paint the trim face laying on the roof. Fear I would be fucked trying to reach under to jet those fuckers. Will just slap the brush the next cool morning.www.apriliaforum.com

Kinda late to the party here, but this is how I took out an underground yellowjacket nest.
My 1st thought was to burn 'em out in some way, but living in the Tahoe basin, if I fuck it up I'd be the moron who started a forest fire so figured I better come up with a better plan.
As suggested previously, I put on a bunch of baggy ski gear, including goggles and went out with a shovel to pry up one of the rocks by the entrance. I then ran away quickly.
I few hours later after they had settled down, I put a huge pot of water on the stove, and as it got to boiling I geared up again. I poured the boiling H2O into the hive and again, ran away quickly. This mostly did the trick but I repeated a few days later just to be sure."The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."

Yeah I’ve been using boiling water to kill ants for a while now. I think it only kills some of them but they abandon the site thinking it’s thermal or something.
Kills weeds and grass too so that can be good or bad depending.

Someone on my local Front Page Forum has a great idea.
Hornets Nest Removal

Seeking recommendations
I have a bald or white faced hornets nest right outside of my door and need someone to remove it.
I am trying FPF before I call terminex or some service.
I read the DIY methods and am not wanting to risk it.
These are not your run of the mill flying pandas like honeybees. They are trained assassins! My dog and I can testify. They send out one to make the first hit, who then calls for group backup. It is not pretty.
Anyone out there do this type of service?

We have luck with vacuuming the bees up. Place the vacuum nozzle very close to the entrance. Very early in the morning, before the bees are active. Then turn on the vacuum on and leave it running till no more bees are seen leaving the nest. We've eliminated many ground nests that way.
What kind of vacuum? My shop vac would rip the shell off the nest if I moved too close. For ground hornets, how many hours do you need to vac the nest?www.apriliaforum.com

^^^ When bald-faced hornets move in, your best bet is to sell and relocate. Fuck those things are nasty.
