The nest has a small opening?

I'm surely not the only one thinking "Diet coke and mentos"?

I used a "poison free," mint-oil based pesticide on the wasp nest. Despite the can's claims to the contrary, this stuff does not kill wasps instantly. It does, however, make them minty-fresh and angry.

The dry ice accomplished jack-diddly-shit.

I just called an exterminator. I will suggest diet coke and mentos when he arrives.

I used a peppermint soap one time. I can just imagine how wound-up the wasps are feeling.

Jam a poisonous snake down in there.
That will teach them something.

...meanwhile...

My exterminator just got chased off by the wasps. Told me to "call later if they are still bad."

Um... I see a bunch still frying around all aggressive and minty like. Maybe you could just...

"Nope. gotta go!"

Time to give Billy a ring.

Put some compost and food out by the nest and let a raccoon dig up the nest for you.

Can you lure them with something sweet?
We cut the top of a soda bottle and taped it "upside down" (think funnel), then added some sweet juice to attract them. Add a little soap to the juice to do funny stuff to the surface tension. You now have a deadly wasp spa :) (It actually works very good)

My virgin & only battle with wasps:
Silly me filled a balloon with pine-sol & pitched it dead on perfect at the nest
by the eaves-trough.
That riled them enough so, that by the time I poked at the nest with a twelve foot
tree branch..one the buzzers stung me right on the eyelid.

If you are dead set against using poison & your mate doesn't want you playing with fire,
is it possible to roll a big boulder over the hole?

P.S. I used to get rid of ground squirrels in the garden & lawn by pouring
my husband's urine into the hole. Don't know if that would work for wasps though.

You know, I was wondering what to do with these bottles of your husband's urine. Now I know. Thanks!

Yeah, it's a mid-west thing that transplants well.
Good luck with the eradication!

Dude, nothing short of napalm will cure this problem. When you tell your wife this, be sure to tell her some guy in the interthingamajig told you so.

This is the only way. Oh dear lord! Bees! - The Something Awful Forums

Seriously, put an opaque white 5-gallon bucket over the hole upside-down. They can see light so their instinct to dig another escape route doesn't kick in. By the time they figure out they're fucked, most of the hive is dying or dead of starvation. For the sake of neighbors and mailmen, I suggest writing "WARNING: WASPS" on it. If you find another exit, get another bucket.

If that doesn't work, get one of these

I am seriously considering buying the rodenator or should I say I was until I saw the price tag lol. If I end up getting some more property thou that might justify it..

It's propane and oxygen pumped into the tunnels that is then detonated. Not terribly difficult to macgyver... or since he always tried for technical pacifism lets say not terribly difficult to mythbuster.

Oh shit! I accidentally put "Free puppies" on it. Oh that did NOT go well...

Seriously, I had the exterminator come out again. Sprayed liquid death all over the place.

That would have been worthy of a youtube video. :)

so... they're dead now?

Either the wasps are, or...... clavus is. :confused:

I've laughed quite a bit at the suggestions in this thread, but this link takes the cake :)

MSD ... this is not always an option ...
