Does anyone have a cheap, easy, reliable, safe way to deal with these rascals? I've got some spare black powder I'm thinking about pouring down the hole and sticking a fuse in it for fun.  I've heard that boric acid poured in the hole works. Anyone tried this? Post your ground bee adventures here. No one ever listens to this advice, but cover the entry with a glass bowl and mound up the edges with dirt so none get in or out. They won't try to dig a new entry because they think they can still use the current one. Not only does it work, but it is cool to watch them trying to get out. I have seen piles of dead bodies laying on the inside of the bowl, only to come back later and they were all removed by the rest of the hive. You can also knock on the bowl nd get them all riles up and watch them fro the safety of the outside of the bowl. It is effective, it is easy, it is safe, and it is entertainment. What is there not to like? It does take a few days though. If anyone has read my mouse safaris they know I enjoy odd adventures. This sounds right up my alley. I might even figure a way to work airsoft guns into this. I'll hold your beer and watch. |

I hate it when people call these nasty bastards "bees". Bees ~ Good Ground wasps/yellow jackoffs ~ Bad They may not sting as bad as a large wasp or Bald Faced Hornet ( the absolutely worst sting around here) , but the problem with these guys is that you may get nailed 20 or 30 times before you can get away. I've had them go up inside long sleeves, and inside the collar of heavy shirts that had the top button fastened to sting me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nope, the European Paper Wasp (they have yellow/orange antenna) become very aggressive towards the end of summer when they cannot find water. At least I think water is the motive. If you walk within ten feet of the nest they may attack without notice. This is mine and my neighbors experience in eastern Washington. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: They are non-aggressive and will only sting when they feel threatened. Same here. Wasps (including yellowjackets) are aggressive and territorial. Bees=bros that make honey and won't fuck with you unless you fuck with their house (pretty reasonable, if I say so myself). Wasps=total assholes that attack for sport. |

We seem to have to do this every time.
Bees and bumblebees are good unless thy are in quantity in your house. (or you have the Africanized version)
Wasps are generally solitary or live in small colony with open nests or mud nests. Usually not to aggressive unless you mess with their nest. Many have the long danglie legs. Mud dabbers are in the wasp family. Hornet families are different. More aggressive and larger nests. Those are bald faced / white faced hornets, which have round nest located in above ground bushes or trees, When I say above ground I mean only that. They can be on a stick just inches off the ground in a tall grass field so watch out for those. Nests cam be quite large also. European Hornets are somewhat rare. Luckily. They make large strange looking enclosed nests on buildings or in trees, These bastards are the only hornet that is also fully active at night time which makes attack after dusk a cluster fuck. They are bigger than Bald faced hornets. and look a bit like monster sized yellowjackets but with subdued, more earthan colors and markings. These things are bigger than bumble bees. Yellowjackets and blackjackets are also hornets and they live in the ground,and have similar round nests with many hornets in the colony. There are other yellowjacket look alikes that make nests in walls of houses or round nests in trees and bushes. Those are technically not called yelloejackets for some reason but are very closely related them. They are hornets as well. |

Ground bees in my area are solitary bees that live basically one to a hole. Yellow Jackets live in a hive in the ground. Ground bees are not aggressive at all. Yellow Jackets fly around looking for a reason to sting. |

Well, I'm no bug expert.
They are yellow jackets. 
For some reason their venom affects me worse than a paper wasp. Plus they're aggressive as hell and will chase you 40 yards. I figure if they have a stinger they're a bee. There's wasp bees, hornet bees, honey bees, ground bees, wood borer bees.
The boy went and poured some gas down the hole last night so I guess I don't get to do the glass bowl thing.

Used a bug zapper to kill a yellow jacket nest under a bush next to our door. Took a rake to stir them up and placed the zapper next to the bush. They kept on attacking the bug zapper once it started killing a few. Nest was gone the next day. It killed hundreds of them. If I could reach the entrance it would have been delta dust down the entrance. They hate that stuff.

This has worked for us:
Locate hole during daylight. Mark with underground utility flag (wire with colored flag) Return after dark. Squirt a heaping load of dish soap down the hole. Immediately pour large amount (2-3 pots) of BOILING water down hole. Nothing will survive. |

This actually sounds like fun. I am going to try this the next time I have a digger wasp nest. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I had one in my compost pile, and a couple in my perennials, so gasoline was out. I does work, but leaves a dead spot where nothing grows for some years. The most effective way is also the most fun. Take your shop vac out to it. Assemble the longest hose extension you can, I even added a six foot piece of PVC duct taped to the end for more length. They will get pissed and swarm, so the farther away you can be, the better. Turn the vac on, and slide the end of your hose extension right up to the hole that they are coming and going from. Just leave it on and go do some other chores. As they return to the nest, or try to leave, they can't help trying to redneck the end of the hose that is threatening their nest. They get sucked in. A couple of shots of Raid into the bottom of the vac makes sure that they die in there. You will not believe how many of the little bastards you will get out of one little hole. This actually sounds like fun. I am going to try this the next time I have a digger wasp nest. A friend of mine is an exterminator. He uses this method to capture the bees in a trap he made inline with the hose. Captures all the bees then brings them home and freezes them. He has some contacts at different pharmaceutical companies that buy the bees for research purposes. |

Both will nest either in the ground or on structures. As far as aggressiveness: Compared with yellowjackets, European paper wasps are relatively docile. They don’t aggressively attack people, but will sting to defend their nest when provoked.
People are stung when they accidentally contact a hidden nest, such as inadvertently touching a nest with a bare hand while gardening. |

Right before dark all the bastards are home and it's easier to get your assault underway. Daylight attacks are always met with heavy resistance. This. I just pour the gas in and forget about it.

Set a running mower over the hole. . Have you ever pushed a mower over the hole? Not the best plan. I've doe it by accident 3 times not knowing they were there. I found out real quick
After dark just go out and empty a can of good spray in the hole. It's always worked for me. A little vengeance I emptied a can of hornet spray down the last hole. Came back the next morning and they were in and out like nothing happened. 
So, I had a old gallon of gas and poured that down. Now, our soil is pretty clay laden. That gallon went down that hole as fast as I could pour it. Gives an indication to the size of the nest down there.
I didn't check this hole, this morning. I'll see when I get home tonight. |

I waited until dark and used gasoline this summer. Not really a huge fire, but it took the hive out. Let the fire run until it was almost out and then hosed it down and put some fill dirt into the hole.
A few leftovers who had partied the night away at bee bars came back in the morning and hung around until late afternoon before getting a designated bee driver to head for somewhere else with a little more queen bee stripper action. |
