- Yellow jacket nest in or near your house? This simple little technique of gluing a small cylinder right underneath their entry point got rid of these pests for us. You can use common gardening insecticides (see link below) on top of the cylinder so they will drag the poison into their nest and not only knock out the yellow jackets but also knock out the queen who lays the eggs. I’ve been using this technique for about five years and it has worked every time. Hope you find the video useful.

Brilliant, thanks brother! I was fighting with a yellow jacket nest for weeks until I found this. I got such great joy watching them fall out of the hole on to the ramp and battering themselves like chicken cutlets in the dust...lol. Nest is dead.
I’ve been using this method for a few years now. I was stumped about how to deal with a nest that was inside my attic but the hole was just underneath the eaves of the house. I took a synthetic duster and saturated it with home defense liquid spray and taped the duster to a pole then propped the duster up so it was just over the hole. They needed to crawl through this in order to get into their nest. In a few days they were dead. So I figured Seven (now Eight) dust would work in the ground nests and started puffing it into their holes when I would find them. Works like a charm!
This was the best advice and technique ever. I followed it exactly and I went from hearing scratching in my ceiling for over a week to less than 8 hrs later, total silence. Thank you!!!! Haven’t had any problems since.
👍👍
I had to come back and leave a thumbs up and comment. Our daughter called she had yellow jackets that had found a hole under her eaves. She had planned on waiting it out until the nest died but then they found a way into her house. I found this video and WOW it worked so good!!! My husband went over at night and said it was the most active nest he has ever seen. He was able to put it up with the Sevin dust and the next day very little activity today is day 2 and he refilled the Sevin dust and said he only saw 4 yellow jackets. THANK YOU
Glad it helped, I ended up having to use this technique again. It seems to work really good and it’s really cheap.👍👍
GOOD JOB, it works perfectly. I spent $30 on sprays and hours of heart aid and with no result.
I used 25 cents of the Dust and within hours there are hundreds of warps on the floor.
And no more warps in my wall anymore.
sir you are a lifesaver! I wasn't able to get the landing pad in place but I put enough sevin in the entry area and actually the yellowjackets were down to zero activity in under 4 hours. I can now work in peace thank you!!
Hi, thanks for creating this video. Yellow jackets built a nest inside my aluminum siding and I don't have a clear shot into their entrance. Using your video as a guide, I made a funnel with a water bottle and hopefully yellow jackets will use it as a landing platform when they enter the nest and track a lot of dust inside. I didn't cut the bottle in half like you did. I just split one side so it acts like a clamp to the aluminum siding.
This works just like this guy said. I did this and within two days it was all over for the pests. Thanks man
I’m glad it worked for you. I think there’s other powders that work as well. The concept of having the yellow jackets drag it into the nest seems to be that thing that works. I appreciate you letting me know it worked for you.
I've done this very thing tonight, that makes the third time for a ground nest of yellow jackets... But in the past it's usually killed them off in a day or so at least the above ground activity. Great tip!
Glad it worked. Make sure you specifically target the yellow jackets. My beekeeping mentor did an experiment years ago with his honeybees. The company at the time claimed seven would not harm bees and only garden pests. He took a couple of hives and place them miles away from his apiary (apiary is a name for where beehives are kept). He spread seven on the ground near the colonies. All the colonies died as a result of the seven.
It's nasty stuff and will kill even the good insects.
I agree honey bees are beneficial, however, I would think if you had honey bees in your walls, you'd want to get rid of them just as much as if they were hornets. In the case of honey bees, one might want to contact someone who could move the colony, rather than killing all of them.
Eureka! Overnight results! Had a yellow jackets nest in an odd spot in the framing around garage door by the top left corner. Seems they managed to find a way into the cinder block in tight spot making it hard to spray them away. Tried lure traps bought from store, then red-neck approaches using cans of soda filled with apple juice and with boric acid, constant hourly spraying. Nothing stopped them. I called an exterminator and he wanted $250 to terminate them. Then saw your video and erected a plastic tray similar to what you demonstrated and duct taped it to that corner blocking most of their passage way in and out, then filled it with sevin dust. The next afternoon when I checked I saw only a few going in and out where there were dozens before constantly buzzing in and out. Now I only see a couple once and a while. Just replenished the sevin dust this evening, but looks like it's a done deal! Thanks so much for sharing this approach!
Decided to test this method out last night, I have a huge nest the the foundation of my garage that I couldnt reach by spraying...so I constructed the "landing pad" out of a plastic bottle, however in my situation the nest entrance is in a corner so I had to use some advanced ingenuity (duct tape) to attach it properly. I used a healthy portion of the Sevin dust. After installing it last night I came back out to check it today and Im already seeing it taking effect...there is a fraction of the activity there was before. So far your method is working like a charm...thank you!
How to use this method again last month, It really does seem to work well. If you can’t see the nest they’ll drag it right into the nest. Just yesterday I saw another nest I’m gonna have to use this on. I’m gonna try duck tape this time that’s a great idea. It beats dragging the hot glue gun out there
@@livefree6878 yes I couldn't reach a cord out there to use the glue gun..however the tape is still holding fine..infact the nest is completely dead now so thanks again
I'm going to try sevin dust and duct tape.They are on the upper side of my front door, along the brickwork to the living room window. What a joy.
I've been using foaming spray with a straw, but I need them all dead so I can enjoy my summer. Wish me luck!
Got a huge nest out front in my front wall of the house . . . tried sealing em in with caulking . . . they ate right thru it . . . so I looked and found this idea. Cut up an old oil bottle . . . screwed it to the front out there . . . filled it with 7 dust . . . waiting to see. Thanks, pal, for your option . . . these boogers stung me twice . . . don't need any more
Just put in the poison and now enjoying watching those suckers dive into the stuff. Thanks!
This method worked just like you reported. Its not hard to get rid of a ground nest of yellow jackets -- many ways to do that. But yellow jackets going deep into your house through a hole is another matter. The yellow jackets were in an area of my house that was impossible to get to without removing walls. This technique saved me hundreds of dollars (or days of work). Any way I can send you a tip for the savings finding this video resulted in? (love how this video is short and to the point).
This worked great, nest totally inactive after two days. Made landing pad out of tin can and hot glue but secured with 3m Command strips. Thank you.
used three cans of spray intended for yellow jackets, killed most of them. Tomorrow I am doing this and going after the queen !!! thank you, one stung me the other day and I have been waging war on them
Sweet, I love it, thanks! My house had a nest when I bought it in 2001. Then a horrible snow storm knocked an entrance overhang off revealing the nest. I can't see it, but you can see where they come & go clearly now so I can get them now!
You sir are a steely-eyed missile man. 26 hours and I went from 20 outside nest at all times to 0.
Re using the flashlight, I've found that using a red filter (red cellophane or one of the various military filters) stops them getting aggressive as opposed to white light.
Great stuff man. It takes an engineering mind to combat nature's pests. Thank you!
Thank you! So much cheaper and less toxic than dosing the crevice with spray. Probably more effective too.
I put one of those electric fly shatters over a hole. Got a lot of satisfaction watching and hearing the zaps and smelling the smoking yellow jackets.
Mine must be harder to kill. I dumped a 1/2 cup of 7 dust down the yellow jacket hole in the ground at night. By the next morning they had already made a new hole about 8 inches away. I did the same for the second hole. The next morning there was a third hole. It' s like playing Whack-A_Mole.
Lol!!!! I hope u finally got them!
I have them crawling under my storage unit garage door !
I put some BORIC ACID down for them to crawl through! Now I’m waiting probably a week or 2!?
Bahawa perfect analogy! I’m playing the same game 🤯
Great video, I'll try this on my yellow jacket problem.
You are right 7 dust highly toxic to bees, says so right on the label. I use a bulb and long tube dispenser to put the powder in the tight spot. Deadly combo.
It certainly worked like a champ, a couple days and the activity was way down then there was no activity. Low cost and affective. Thanks for your thoughts
Yep the old turkey baster is what I use to shoot it right in their entrances
thanks, you helped me remove a yellow jacket hive, near my front door.
Hey thx man! Love how you broke it down so user friendly
I'm going to try this as soon as I find the pesticide you used! We have 2 nests right now... One under the corner of the roof and one going between the brick and siding. We have killed multiple wasps in the house and now I can hear them in the walls. I found their entry points and then your video so tomorrow, hopefully, is day one of their demise!
CLear zone double impact fly spray..wear a mask!!!spray in their entrance way.it's labeled for wasps and it's strong!!
Great video. I have a ground nest and its opening is about 4 inches wide. I have watched video's on dish soap water and someway to lock them in. I also saw a 10-15 day treatment of poisoning them and the queen. The poison effort makes more sense in the early spring late winter application because you stop the queen from ever starting her nest. But because of where this is NOW i am curious to know what you might try, Appreciate your video's and have been subscribed for a little while now.
I used dawn dish soap and hot water. Gone. Almost free and less poison.
Sevin says not for use on buildings. It's an acetylcholine antagonist. Probably works great. Wouldn't want a build up in the place where I sleep or eat. We'll see if these yellow jackets don't change my mind.
I'm in California so here there's only Sevin Sulphur dust. Does this work on yellow jackets? The other Sevin dust does not ship to my location and HD does not have it. Advice please
How do you remove the nest, so other queens born in the nest won't continue the nest?
Can I use boric acid powder? I want to ask before I go out and buy more chemicals.
I would love to get some type of powder like this in Canada -- any recommendations?
My yellow jackets are under a large bed of ivey. If I try to go anywhere near where I think the hole may be I'm attacked.
Now what ?
I'll do this using duct tape. They are in the upper door jam of front door. I've been using foaming spray with a straw, but i need them gone sooner. I want to enjoy my summer.
Now boarding for departures at runway B 101, one way boarding passes only and no stand by's.
Well I just bought a new house and a yellow jacket Nest is being moved in behind my wall on the outside I'm going to try your method I've tried many things and I'll let you know on one Southerner to another
please tell me if it works. i too got attacked yesterday by a bunch and noticed there has to be a nest under the siding where the foundation and siding meet so I have to do something.
(Clear zone)double impact fly spray will get them.it's labeled for wasps but it's strong,I would recommend wearing a mask spraying it.over laying it with dust last
Do you have a link for goggles and a facemask? What about a hanging nest?
oh wow i love this idea ; this would help me immensely they are on the eaves !
Well you are the best most logical, do-able suggestion. God I hope this works - I'm living some kind of Apocalypse Mad Wasp movie.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞💣💥🐝
How it go??
Can I just pour 7dust into the hole in the ground in my yard where my kids play?
See my most recent comment.
Got rid of 2 yellow jacket ground nests this week. Dumped a bit of gas down the holes and put a rock on top.☠️ No more yellow jackets☠️
Put a match on top instead of a rock.
Would anyone know if this works for hornets and if it's safe around dogs? I have hornets invading my eves and siding and if I could safely use the dust I might be able to get them under control. Many thanks!
Haven't tried this yet. I'm currently trying 2 tsp of borax in some apple juice placed in a coke can with a small stick going down into the can. The idea is they get the borax on them and in them, carry that back to the nest wiping them all out...so far 2 days in I see no wasps going in or out of the can. I have very successfully used dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle to kill them that way..it works as good as the expensive spray but I need something to work passively.
That sounds very interesting. I used borax to knock out some ants this summer. I’d love to know if this worked for you.
I'm also using that method right now. Let me know how it goes. You might want to use a large open container so they can smell the apple juice better.
Add some apple cider vinegar to the apple juice, to ensure that it doesnt attract any honeybees.
I tried this also. Didn't work at all. Then tried sugar water with borax at the recommended ratio of 1part sugar to 8 of water. No takers at all. They buzz right by it.
@@terrywawro2951 I also tried this and put the cans all over my yard in various places. Did not work at all.
Yes and it work a lot better when you could get the 10% which is no longer available
Where can I buy this
Thank u ,,,, great advice ,,,
Were can I get these exact products, no luck.
Added this link to the description ---- amzn.to/3l3UB9g ---- but you might also try you local hardware or farm supply store to find the powder form. Thanks for watching!
This is a good idea to create a landing platform for the wasps & coat it with a pesticide.
The only thing I would suggest is to use diatomaceous earth or borax instead of the Sevin Dust as Sevin Dust is likely carcinogenic (check the SDS).
How about borax and sugar?
good info
what happens when the nest is in the ground under some cardboard and you can't see where the entry is?
Ummm... lift the cardboard.
I would love to try this but can't get close enough. 24/7 these things are active. The neighbor says they're European hornets but all I know is they're the biggest wasps I've ever saw in person.
Turn the lights OFF and go at night when it's pitch black.
@@joevarga5982 It is pitch black. I even used my son's night vision monocular to see and there are always at least 20-40 active at all times. I can't afford an exterminator at the moment as I live in a small town and we only have 1 extremely high priced guy. But I did contact a guy that used to remove bees and wasps as a kind of part time job. He came out 5 different nights over a couple of weeks and said he wouldn't try again because he was tired of getting stung. He said he's never saw any this active at night. That's when I turned to the internet for tips or tricks.
@@OhImKiCkiN That sounds like a problem. You'll have to distribute the powder at the time of least activity, then. Get yourself a disposable painter's coverall or wear a jacket with a hood and thick gloves. Tape up the bottom of your long pants legs if necessary. Maybe cover your face with something too.
You might try setting up a vacuum cleaner near the entrance and let it run for a while or get a garden sprayer and fill it with poison to try to spray most of the flying ones first before you go in.
@@joevarga5982 I appreciate the advice. I'll get the supplies this weekend to make the homemade bee suit and post on how it goes. Fingers crossed.
@@joevarga5982 Thought I'd post an update. I appreciate all your advice but nothing seemed to work. I ended up borrowing a bee suit from someone and distributing the powder. At first I thought this worked until about 2 weeks later they slowly started showing their numbers again. Maybe I did something wrong, who knows. So I decided to just bite the bullet and hired the local hornet guy. $837 later they're finally gone, thank God.
We put up a landing pad for an entry under the roof of our front porch just two days ago and today I haven't seen a single yellow jacket, so it seems to be working if not completed. Question- how long should I wait before sealing up the entry with silicon?
How long to wait before sealing up with silicone?
I have mine in the ground beneath an arberundum tree branches to the ground but I see where they go in. Would just throwing a bunch of dust into tree work?
Great idea but I ain't going up on a ladder cuz I don't like heights
seven is bad for honeybees protect our enviorrment
Aluminum foil and tape would work, too.
Absolutely aluminum foil would work, as long as the bricks don’t get too hot, the tape I would imagine would also work. There’s a little bit Of weight to the powder so the duck tape or other tape might give loose, the hot glue works really nice. Thanks for the comment
😯
Sevin dust is not to be used on or in structures.
Why is that?
Fun fact is the bees need to exit the nest daily, so in one 24 hour span, you've poisoned all of them. I like puffing a little Drione or Delta Dust powder into the opening. The powder is so light that you will see it escaping back out through the tiniest openings. It creates a giant cloud of dust, permeating pretty much everywhere inside, and kills them all within minutes.
to much trouble, 2 gallon of boiling water down the hole 1 hour after sundown
Did you watch the video? This isn’t a ground nest. Last time I checked, pouring water up was pretty difficult.
The best way to kill Yellowjackets in my opinion is use a bucket of hot water and dawn dish detergent. Trust me it works.
I’ve heard a lot of people talking about the Dawn dish detergent method some people say it will take them down right in the air. Next time I have a yellow jacket problem, I’m gonna try it. How do you apply the water? Do you just throw it on the Nest at night? The last one I had I was planning on sprain it down at night and a skunk came and ate it. I had no idea that a skunk would be interested in a yellow jacket nest. Thanks for the comment
Live Free : after you make the chemical you can just pour it down the entrance hole at night. The best thing to do is to put a window screen over the hole at night then pour the poison down the hole.
👍
What if they are inside your wall ???????
@@bigbobtong yes I wanna know too??! PLEASE HELP
Gasoline is much quicker
Right, burn down your own house. Real smart.
Great idea for under my siding.....
Until your house gets set on fire.
