Yellow Jackets

[Sharla1]

I have a nest that are going under the part that goes into the house to the main electrical box. I'm not sure if they are in the box on the inside since I can't climb stairs anymore. I haven't had any on the main floor flying around thank goodness. I was told by a friend not to use the nest spray and to use WD 40 instead since it's so close to the main box on the inside. I've enclosed a pic of where they are going in. Any other opinions on this mess?

I wouldspray Hornet & Wasp killer spray at the enterance at night when it's dark. You don't have to spray inside so long as they come in contact when leaving the nest.

I have the nest killer spray. And I think I have one of these around if not I can go buy one. I can hang it on the handle on the side door which I don't use anyhow. And the door is fairly close to the hydro metre. And yes it's best to spray at night when all of them in the nest and in a calmer mode then.

I do have other traps as well I have one in the rear yard but needs filling again and I did catch quite a few in it. They really like the soda pop I put in it.

Using the spray will kill them all, then caulk up the enterance once they are all gone. Never see them again in that spot.

Yea I need to add some sealant. At least it"s flush so I can seal it.

I had the landscaper spray the nests for me today. He knew of another nest that I didn't know about so he got both sprayed. Plus I set up the hornet trap as well. Let's hope it helps.

I sprayed again the other night when they were all in the nest but they are still entering the nest site. These are being a real pain to get rid of.

Anytime that I have used that foam spray at the entrance of the nest, the pests are gone and don't come back.

I have a feeling they are behind the main electrical panel on the inside of the house. And no way I can spray that area from the inside. I might have to wait till autumn time when they abandon the nest then spray again on the outside then seal it up.
