BigOxley Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Little assholes. I have have one, maybe two nests near my back patio. The found some space under my siding and are hidden up inside my house somewhere. Tried spray foam the crack that they use. Little dickheads chewed right through it when it dried. Bought a $13 trap at Lowes made by W-H-Y and only caught 2. 2 fucking yellowjackets! $6.50 per bug. can't spray the nest because i can't see it. tried a youtube homemade trap that didn't work. any ideas? i'm open to CHEAP pest control if it comes to it.

bmwohio Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Attic space? Can you 'bug bomb' the space you think they are living? http://www.raidkillsbugs.com/fogger/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Start leaving them food. Earn their trust. Make peace with them, and then bed their women and integrate your families to their society. Maybe this? http://www.organicgardening.com/learn-and-grow/yellow-jacket-trap?page=0,1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Boric acid mixed with water and sugar on a saucer or something with small lip sat near the area the yellow jackets are nesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Borax Powder...absolute solution. It gets on them and they spread it around the hive. A little slow but fail-proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Panic1647545539 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Brake parts cleaner and a lighter. This also works if you want to get fired from autozone back in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 boric acid ftw. Also, if you have pests chewing through foam you could try steel wool or fiberglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyster101 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I bought some of this and it worked fast! Just spray some around the opening and it causes the nervous system to shut down. The critters get it on them and lick it off. Kills all kinds of pests so be careful where you spray it. http://www.amazon.com/Insecticide-Carpenter-Silverfish-Scorpions-Millipedes/dp/B004SFV7E6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374602207&sr=8-3&keywords=carpenter+bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Spray the siding down with garden hose, tape 6 really good firecrackers together, stick them in the little basterds hole, light fuses and run like fuck. Me and my brother did this a number of years ago. Worked great and they never came back:fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don 95Vert Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I once made a cardboard shelf and taped up up right below their entry/exit hole, then covered the shelf in powdered sevin. They had to crawl through it to get to their nest, which they did. In 2 days the entire nest was dead. Sevin is death to any bee, so be careful around honey bees.

JuicedH22 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I suggest getting some hornets/wasps... let them kill the yellow jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 bang on the siding really hard until they start to come out, grab a tennis racquet and see how many you can kill. You might get stung but it won't cost much and will be a fun way to get some exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
