so... what are you gonna do, OP?

Wear protective clothing and do this:

Please DON'T pour gasoline into the ground.

Serious answer, if you don't want to get professional help, run a hose from the exhaust of your own mower/tractor and McGyver it to a bowl of some sort large enough to cover the opening of the entrance to the nest. Start your engine and hold the bowl tight enough to get a pretty good seal with the ground. Leave it there for a few minutes and the CO2 will kill them.

---

This sounds like a great method for getting stung around one billion times

---

OK...so we are all operating under the assumption that they only have ONE entrance. Might want to verify this before sticking a vibrating pipe into their hole.

---

Fair enough, but the same logic can be applied to any of the solutions offered here. So..........

Not really sure yet. Might try a pro but doubt they will treat since not on my property. We moved in not long ago and have young kids that want to play ball on the easement.

Dumping a few gallons of gas is an option. Like I said I know where the nest is but have been unable to find the entrance to it under the grass....any takers on pulling up the grass to find the hole!

Will prop try the gas quickly poured at night from 5 gallon bucket (if I can get them apart).

Dude, please don't pour gas into the ground.

Last night I watched a History channel show on Asian giant hornets.



They showed these *******s on the show killing a regular hornet net for sport.

Why would an exterminator not come out and do the job simply because it's not on your property? I fail to see the logic in this thinking.

There are any number of solutions, but they all include you (or someone) wearing protective clothing (nothing elaborate required here) and locating the den/nest. It's been my experience the worst injuries result from overreaction trying to escape getting stung than actual stings. It may require two attempts. The first to locate the "hole", when some will no doubt escape your remedy. If they should return, get em on the second go-around!

If you call a pro out to do it, just say they are over there.

If he says, "I don't think they are on your property", you say, "then I don't think I'll pay you".
I bet he hops the fence and lets them have it.

And I had the same thing in my front flower bed. Figured it out trimming the bushes. I got stung about 40 times running to the back yard.

Called a pro out and he basically just sprayed massive amounts of poison on the area. It won't be any big deal to them.

Tannerite?

Finally! I wondered why this answer took so long!

Alright OP I've figured out a plan for you. Here is what you'll need

1) Fill up a coffee can with gas
2) Do the hose from the exhaust thing with a bowl
3) Dish Soap
4) Wasp spray
5) Lighter
6) Tannerite
7) Go pro and someone to film you on their phone horizontally

Here we go

Strip down naked and cover yourself with dish soap for a force field. I would assume 2 bottles unless you're lolfat which requires 4. Approach the ground nest when the sun is highest in the sky (better lighting for the camera and no shadows). Pour remaining soap down the hole. Then, place the exhaust doohickey over the nest and sit on it. If they start to sting you abort plan.

Run wildly around with wasp spray to dust them. Kind of spin in a circle like a helicopter with your arms out spraying. If that doesn't work then, pour gas down the hole even though that's frowned upon. If you still see movement light that sheet on fire. Now if that doesn't work scream "ALAMO ALAMO" and place tannerite on top and retreat back to safety to shoot it.

Also what do you want on your headstone after you've completed this task?

Put a big trough in the bed of your truck. Fill cattle trough full of water and empty a few bottles of dawn dish soap in it. Wait until it is dark and back your truck up to the fence near the hole and drain the tank. If that doesn't work, get you a few cans of seven dust and nuke the area at night. I had to do this under my deer blind three weeks ago. When they crawl through the grass going in and out they take the seven dust into the nest and will eventually kill them all. Worked for me.

Bees 1, Bass 0?

August 7th for me (when your corpse is actually found), unless you brief your plan with Mrs. Bass, then I call August 6, very late evening.

You may not have permission to enter the easement, but the gas company does.

Call 811 and tell them you are going to be digging in the area.

When they show up to mark the line, tell them about the wasps and suggest that they spray them before marking the line.

Get a ladder and pair of binoculars and peer over your fenceline for 10 minutes or so to figure out where they're coming from.

Have a friend that lives in New Branfels and his entire yard is covered up with those 2 inch long ground hornets. They don't mess with you but he says it keeps solicitors away!

Genius, I say! Aggie intuition. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Large WASP or large wasp NEST? Large wasp like bug in the ground could be a cicada killer.

If you can't find the hole, watch the area for a bit then spray a big-ass section of the area where you see the most activity with round-up. Wait a couple days and then watch again for their activity, by now the grass should be dead and you can go find the hole. Commence with pouring gasoline down the hole at this time.

Yeah, they were cicada killers all over his yard. Big ugly effers that flew around by the hundreds. His kids would smash them with tennis raquets for fun.

OP

Man I love Aggies. Some of the most Rube Goldberg sons a beetches I ever met.

Does bifren not kill wasps ? Seems like it kills damn near everything. I'd start soak the area with a 2x concentration of bifren.

As previously mentioned.

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/local/large-cicada-killer-wasps-in-central-texas-not-a-d/nr9fh/

Let's just do this.













This is most likely scenario for OP:

We had a handyman the other day think it was a good idea to enter our tiny mud room while a fogger was going off In an attempt kill an enormous amount of wasps. He only coughed and winced in pain for a few hours, NBD.

Those foggers will eff you up man. I was downwind from one to eradicate a bunch of black widows that had taken up residence in a permanent canvas tent near Possum Kingdom lake. I was coughing the rest of the weekend.

Ok I will hold the camera. Who wants the lead role for this show!

Ok found at least one entrance. But pest control company is calling me in the morning about coming out to kill them.

If that falls through..."hold my beer"

You seem to be ignoring the best suggestion offered, if a little chicken sh/t

Bees and wasps see carbon dioxide. I suggested not moving and not breathing during this activity.

*I know this from a painful experience that involves a pellet gun, camouflage, a tree, and a thousand irritated cross bred bees living in a chimney.

Seriously...why would God design something like that? Did he let Satan create certain animals or something?

quote:

On a related note, does dish soap work on wasps like it does on bees?

---

Yes. That would be my recommendation for pouring down the hole (5 gallon bucket of water with dish soap) first rather than something like gasoline. Block off any vent holes, put some screen down, and pour away. But if you can't really see the hole(s) it's kind of moot.
