Yellow jackets in the wood stacks! Eradication.

[volunbeer]

This stuff looks promising - http://www.yellowjacketnestkiller.com/home-page.html You feed the yellowjackets with a slow acting poison and they fly back and feed all their nasty friends and family and most importantly the queen. I bought some to use this year but they are not swarming our picnic table yet. Have some friends who swear this is most effective thing they have used in a decade of waging this war.

We have been at our place for over 5 years and there have been a few years where they have been beyond obnoxious. I have spent a ton of money on traps and baits - if this stuff works this will be my new tactic!

Done. Hosed every opening of that part of the pile with spray, hopefully getting pretty deep in there. Then puffed some industrial dehydrator (purchased for carpenter bees) in after that dried up a bit. Not sure if I'll get the queen, but I'll put a hell of a hurting on anyone going in/out.

The real kicker is that I'm finally in a position to start building a wood shed, and I'll need to move this stack to do it!
