if it flies it dies: cropping your yellow jackets

[fiddyonefiddy]

i have to crop around five of these each day,i cannot find where they are comming from and they love the light. anyone know a good method for ridding my self of these little buggars.
ive been clipping their stingers off and letting them go takes em a while to figure out the balance thing all over and they cant really fly very far.

Whatever you do, don't spray with a weak poison, it just pisses them off. If poisoning them is out, perhaps a caulking gun and a screen door might help. :jointsmile:
Would be careful with those stingers, too. They can still get ya after the wasp is dead. I sprayed one with some Real Kill (wasp spray, works very fast) and I didn't know it landed in one of my pots. Found it's dried-out body a week or so later, stuck in my finger. Was like a mild bee sting, but it still hurt pretty good.

yes they do sting till the carcas gets hard even if you barely bump them.
ive checked everywhere but in side the eves and i cant really get to there i do have a big vent in the front that had nests from years past tons of them i cleaned them all out and replaced the screen. went around the house already the wife is scared to death of them.
my house is two story so i have to get way up on a ladder and spray them with wasp killer and they do not like that chit at all.
and immediately dive bomb your ass.

im not using any sprays to stop them or anything inside just diligence with my cropping scissors and im collecting the stingers for someone i dont really like.heheheheh
