We had yellow jackets in the yard when the kids were small. Their nest was underground about 8' from the house. I found it while mowing. As I mowed I thought about the nest the kids and decided that I had to do something. Gas. I dumped about a quart into the hole. Continued to mow continued to thing about the nest and the little kids.
At our former house we had a lot of yellow jackets. Our oldest son was/is deathly allergic to their stings (we had a very close call) so my husband was very vigilant. He would spot where the nest was in the ground, go back at dusk when most of the pests had gone to bed for the night, poured gasoline in the hole and set fire to it. All we had were one or two strays the next morning who had been out gallivanting the night before. (Fortunately, no house fires!).
