What can I do the get rid of them all?

Ground Bee Holes

While you are recovering from your sting go to Wall-mart and look around for a while. When you get over to the auto section get you a big can of WD 40 with the straw. Go home have a beer or two and wait till after night fall. When its been dark at least an hour go out there put the straw on stick it in there little hole and spray and don't be afraid to use a lot. This will kill them I did it on the advise of a bee keeper to get rid of some and never even saw another one again. When I talked to the bee keeper he told me they where yellow jackets. I told him they weren't yellow jackets made a nest under the eves of the house. He told me they where gennie wasp not yellow jackets that a true yellow jacket always make his nest in the ground.

I just had to do the same to a ground hornet's nest that my hubby found under a decorative wooden basket of flowers in our yard.... he went to move it a little and they swarmed him.....the best attack is Sevin powder.... there's several ways of getting the powder to the entrance hole of the nest without getting stung yourself.... if you have the tall slender can of Sevin, you can do a 'wrist flip' and send the powder sailing over the entrance...or wait until late dusk, sneak up quietly and have a bowl of the Sevin in hand and quickly pour the Sevin all around the entrance hole, so they will HAVE TO walk thru it to enter or leave...... and then, there's the way for us chikins... get a long length of PVC pile that's at least two inches in diameter.... put some tissue over the end and tape it there.... now pour Sevin into the pipe, with the tissue covered end protected, like in a gloved hand of your helper!.... when you have a goodly ammount in the pipe (please be careful, the powder is NOT good for you to breath !!), then you can go to the nest entrance, get your helper to poke a good hole in the tissue paper, then put the end near the entrance, lift the other end and let gravity take care of the dumping.....

in 24 hrs, the nest should be vacant.....mine is....there may be strays show up that were out farther afield when you attacked the nest... but they'll soon die off, too....

Forget the gas ....very dangerous and maybe destructive to the foundatin coating.

The diazinon spray isn't a bad suggestion. Sevin is an alternative. Or you can get a pressurized can of hornet/wasp remover that shoots a stream about 6 feet (if you wanted a daylight attack....not recommended for the grounddwelling wasps) or better yet, wait until the sun has set and saturate their hole.

bee's can be a pain in the rear but gas is no good idea that close to your home. we had two nests last year one in the ground and one in the mortar between the bricks. we tried lots of things even the pesticides didn't work. they would just bury deeper until the chemicals would wear off and come back out. so a guy at the home depot suggested spraying and then closing to trap them. get a bottle of spray foam insulation and a strong bee killer. orthro max is great! wait till a few hours after dark spray the hole and then close it with the spray foam the bee's are trapped in there and it will kill them off completely. I wouldn't suggest leaving them there because you never know who will be stung and if they are allergic to the venom than it very well could be fatal.

As the nest is near your home ,I would think its not a good idea to keep them around , It's an potential hazard .It would be different if they were at the other end of your yard,but right along the house is just too close .Wait until night and use any one of many powders (tracking powder ) Sevin or dursban are two . Dust the entrance to the nest and let them track it into their nest ,it will take some time for them to die off but it works . you can also try a soapy water solution too . dumping gasoline or wd-40 is just a bad idea and illegal .

Unless you want to accidentally blow up your house do not pour gas down the hole. This might work in a field but not in your situation.

I suggest pouring Dianzinon down the hole at about 10pm. If that doesn't work, call the exterminator.

These insects are very beneficial in your yard. They are meat eaters, and consume many pesky insects that chew up your garden. Live and let live.

Just because you got stung doesn't mean that you need to run out there and kill them all. Lord---everyone here needs to get a grip! Ain't nobody dead---evidently you lived to tell about it. You know where they are and you know to keep some distance. They leave at the end of the season and don't reinhabit the same place again.

You got lots of advice from people here who think that everything is a pest and that it is OK to kill it------well, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

get a large clear plastic (empty) soda bottle and stick the neck into the hole. the bees will go in bottle and not go out (they die in the bottle)

when the bottle starts to fill just put the cap on it. Then use another soda bottle.

This really works.
