Never heard a yellow jacket called a ground bee. But yeah, they're horrible creatures.

Was it Evil_ATF that made a thread some years ago about his battle with bees?

I was mowing down at the back of my lot and ran over a nest.
They have to sleep sometime. That's when you pour the gas down their hole and plug the entrance. |
|
I'd go with soap water. Thats how I killed the nest that was on my patio.

I have ground bees for the second time this year. Tag for results.

Ground nesting paper wasps. Not bees, these are hunters as the hive is a nursery.
Go ahead and kill them all. I've run acetylene through activated carbon to deodorize it, carefully filling the nest cavity with this gas. Used an electric initiator once the gas tube is removed. This is an earth-shattering kaboom, completely destroying the hive. |

I went through the same thing last year. I would be mowing and get to one certain area of the yard and they would start going after me. They got me 8 times before I declared war on them.
I ended up pouring gasoline down their hole and lit it up with a roman candle. Then I proceeded to dump 30 rounds of .45 ACP into their hole, just to break it up a little bit. After the small arms fire I repeated the gasoline and fire, then I dug up their nest to make sure they were good and dead. So far, no more wasps hornets, bees or whatever they are. |

The really cool thing is that since they are not bees, their stinger is not barbed so they can sting you over and over until they get sick of the game and leave.

Last week I was on the Husky lawn tractor mowing the backyard, I went over the entrance to their nest, they came boiling out.
Stung me three times. I was not subtle, when night fell I took 2 quarts of gasoline, poured it into the opening, and lit it off. I haven't had any problems with them since, I'm pretty sure I exterminated that colony of the little bastards. |

These are nothing to screw with. They will attack enmass and can be lethal. I was hit by about 50 of them and went into anaphalatic shock. Only the fast action of the local emt squad saved me. Wait until dark and pour about a pint of gasoline down the hole - no need to light it.

It's a Blitzkrieg thing Personally, I always light the gasoline (or the Pyrodex). 30min fusees aren't just for emergency signaling ... |

Only in GD are all stinging insects called bees.
Yellow jackets is what you have and they are nasty aggressive hornet that lives in the ground. (as opposed to a similar looking but equally nasty different variety that make a round nest on the side of a barn or in a bush or tree.) Then there are blackjackets, which also live in the ground and look like yellowjackets only they are black and white. Not as aggressive and from my experience the nests are usually smaller than yellowjackets nests are. Don't confuse blackjackets with Bald faced/ white faced hornets though. They are also black and white but make roundish nests in trees and on buildings. They are in some ways less aggressive than yellowjackets are but like the guy said earlier, don't fuck with them unless you know you can get away. Their sting is harder and the whole fucking nest will chase you for a long ways if you fuck with them. Then there are European Hornets. They are rare but holy shit they are big. They are also the only ones that are fully active 24/7 so night attacks on them won't help you. |

Did you think that posting this on a public web site was very smart at all?
(unless you thought about cutting their Internet service off in advance!) |

we had a big ass nest on my property. When my buddy found it they fucked him and my dog up pretty bad. tried all sorts of chemicals to kill them and ended up soaking everything with gas and lighting it. I hung a trap after than and still filled the trap three times after the nest was destroyed.

Solo cup of gas down their entry hole at night has never failed me, 100% dead and gone. No lighting it on fire, just pour it down and be done with it. Now I had a yellow jackets nest in a decaying railroad tie that was a different story.

Ether-containing engine starting fluid is very lethal to such insects. Kills on contact and is very flammable.
