First you will have to locate the opening to the nest.

I have yellow jackets in my siding.

Yellow jackets have built a nest under the siding on my porch. Sprays are especially convenient when dealing with nests that have been built on structures around the. Yellow jackets are very aggressive. I had a problem with yellow jackets getting in under the aluminum siding above a door on my house so i sat near the nest site occasionally for two days with a st rong shopvac and a long nozzle and caught hundreds of them returning to the nest site.

This would also work for a nest in vinyl or shake siding where access to the nest is restricted. Spray treatments can be effective individual yellow jacket killers and can help destroy small to medium sized colonies. There are a range of yellow jacket pest control options that you can use depending on what methods you are most comfortable with including traps baits sprays and foams. We had to stop using the front door.

Not all bees are aggressive but if you have yellow jackets you don t want to go near their nest while they are awake. To keep yellow jackets from returning properly seal any entrances or holes through which the pests could enter the siding. You will have to be able to find it later in the dark. Applying the pesticide here and now is the best way to ensure that it reaches and impacts as many bees as possible.

You can do this by carefully observing not too close the coming and going of wasps in the area. Try to pinpoint the opening. This will give you ample light with which to work but the yellow jackets will be settling in for the night lowering the chances that you will be stung while working with the chemicals. Typically queens build their paper nests and lay eggs in late spring or early summer.

I looked it up and read there are some powders aerosols to spray into the nest but there s a bunch of guards or whatever always sitting outside the entrance and i don t really want to get swarmed by them. While wearing protective clothing drill a small hole in the wall as close to the nest as possible. Many of them like many of us have been waiting a long time to get out of the house. If you have yellow jackets in the wall the first step is to find the nest.

Apply dust or insecticide at dusk. Immediately spray an entire can of a quick freeze aerosol product designed to kill yellow jackets into the hole.
