Unless you peel back that flashing and remove the paper and combs, especially the potential new queens and current ones, new workers will hatch depending on the time of year and location you are. The vac is awesome for knocking them down so once you crack into the nest you’re not overly swarmed. Very ingenious setup too with the ladder 👍🏻
A guide to stinging incects: Honey Bee - Please just let me buzz around your flowers. If I sting you I die, and I don't want to die. I just want pollen Wasp: Please don't make me sting you. I really am peaceful Hornet: Come one step closer & I will sting the shit out of you Yellowjacket: WAKANDA FOREVER!!!!!!!
Not so fast. I did the same thing with the same setup last week and caught about 200 of them the first day. Looked out two days later and they were again swarming around the opening. I then caught about 75 more. This went on for several more days and after five days I caught another 45. I did this in late September and early October and that may be too late. The queen can continue to produce replacement workers for a long time. I expect them to go dormant when the weather gets colder but I don’t know what will happen in the spring.
Bahahahah I cud watch this for hours! Especially after getting stung by bee's/wasp! "Popcorn anyone?!" I pulled up at a guys house & saw the push mower in the yard running with yellow jackets swarming it!!!! That was the craziest thing I ever saw! Of course the homeowner had ran off!?!?!!! Yeah forget that quart of gas in the tank!!!😂🤣😆
Mother-in-law had a yellow-jacket nest inside an outside wall. Couldn’t get any spray inside (didn’t know about foam), so I came up with the same idea. Wasn’t as high up so I attached a hose to the end of a paint pole. Nozzle was about 1-1/2” round. I positioned it so they had ‘room’ to go in and out (so they were not alarmed), but the high flow velocity just sucked them right in - not a single one escaped, so they couldn’t warn the others. I only used about an inch of water with a little dish soap. But then I did the velocity calculation and found they were doing about 80 mph when they hit the “splitter” at the vacuum inlet, so instant death I think. Ran it for a few days and caught hundreds, maybe thousands.
I wonder if you took off the filter of the shop vac so it's just sucking air in and blowing it through the fan unrestricted with no dish soap if you suck up the wasps if the vacuum fan would chop them up and blow out wasp parts.

Bravo for doing a good job of getting rid of them. Just keep it running for quite awhile until you are definitely sure you did get rid of all of them.
Wow! Seems like the best and safest way to deal with yellow jackets.

So this is what R2D2’s been up to lately
Crossed with a Dr Who Dalek: “Exterminate! Exterminate!” 😄
Great vid I hate getting stung
They seem to get a lot more aggressive in late summer and fall
I've been stung just sitting lol
Great idea

Excellent. Could watch all night....
Love it.
This method is the best one
I'm still partial to 5.6kv
I can’t believe that worked!
Wow that's so much

They have been socked through a worm hole to another reality.
The only real problem might be the position of the nozzle
Will the dead bodies plug up the vacuum filter?
No. The vacuum filter filters the air. The vacuum sucks directly into the vacuum bag or base of the vacuum.
What you do is put the wet filter on fill the shop vac half full of water and bleach put the hose end buy the nest and turn it on
Could have stuck a 3M Command hook above the soffit, than attach a bug zapper. Get them both ways, suck-up or Zapped.
I run two bug zappers pretty much year round and have never noticed any yellow jackets inside upon clearing
Yup
Awesome. They bite and sting, invasive and nasty.
It really sucks to be the wasps

that buidiling material is a not good job...
