Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Going to war with yellow jackets

My neighbor asked me why smoke was continuing to rise from my backyard. Scorched earth for days. Nothing has grown there in the past 5 years.

I hear this works good for liberals too if you substitute veggie burger.

One pint gasoline dumped in the hole. Wait five minutes. Light her up. It burns like a low grade propane torch for five minutes. No yellowjackets will survive.

Fortunately, we don’t have too many YJ out here.

GA was lousy with the devils.
When I left, I was working on a design for a high voltage electrically charged chain flail mounted on a turret with a napalm gun. You know, for the small nests.

You are simply argumentative and insincere. I am not wasting any more time reasoning with you. You are not worth my time.

Robert Duvall should be proud I did the napalm at dusk on nest #1 I’ll find out results tomorrow buried the burrow on #2 running I’ll probe that tomorrow evening

You are simply a do nutin dumbass that knows little about anything. You time is worth nothing.

I typically trap them using the simple water trap and meat trick. To get the numbers down in the nest.

Then I spray ground hornet spray. it foams and spreads nicely.

Then I put the propane torch to them.

Then dump water in the hole with soapy water.

Then gas them.

Then put a hamburger meat and poison bate station out to get the stragglers


It’s a long week, but I kill them all and let god sort them!

You don't piss on their corpses? Slacker.

Heck no. Afraid to pull the pecker out anywhere near the little bastardz. What if one was faking dead and got you right on the tip.

One could get injured bad letting their guard down like that around yellow jackets.

They are almost as bad as Russians, which I haven’t trusted since I saw rocky 4.


Serious note. I have found soapy water to work nearly as good as anything else. I typically spray the hole real good with spray to stop a attack first though

Fireballs trick does work. I have used it before with great success

I also have used a water bath and meat trap with very good results

Gasoline, Gunpowder, and Propane.........Have fun and cause complete mayhem!

Some simply lack the fortitude and imagination to truly defile. 😀

Couple of days.

A big plus is you don’t need to know where the nest is. The YJs take the poison back to the nest. All of them die. It’s great.

This is the method I use.




P

If there’s a nest in the vicinity they will get all over and inside of a skinned out deer carcass. They don’t appreciate being bothered either.

Go to deer camp a week early and set out the poisoned hamburger, that way when you hang your deer you have no trouble.

I wonder how Tannerite would work? 😮

I nuked them at 8:30 there was still blue flames coming out the hole at 11:30

I have had pretty good luck reducing the population with my shop vac, doesn’t rule them up but gives a pleasant thump when they hit the tub. Then the soapy water can go down the hole.

I remember my brothers and dad battling Yellowjacket nests in the feed bunks of the cattle yard. They diesel fueled that sucker and lit it. tunnels 10 ft away smoldered for a week in the old manure and hay.
They built new pipe bunks after that

Has no one experienced the joy of a flamethrower made with a can of (ether) starting fluid and a lighter? Am I eventually going to blow myself up?
