how to get rid of wasps under ground?

Answer 1

I believe you have "YELLOW JACKETS", to kill use a "Dust". Because, Dusts are more effective than Liquid & Spray Insecticides. Lliquids & Sprays, do not always reach the nest. An easy product to find is *Carbaryl (known as Sevin). *Also "Drione Dust", but it is costly.

Yellow Jackets commonly build nests below ground in old rodent burrows or other cavities. They can also build nests in trees, shrubs, under eaves, and inside attics or wall voids. Baldfaced hornets commonly build nests in the open in trees, as well as under eaves and along the sides of buildings.

Paper wasps build nests under any horizontal surface and are commonly found on limbs, overhangs, eaves of buildings, beams and supports in attics, garages, barns, sheds, and other similar places.

Honey bees make a series of vertical honey combs made of wax. Their colonies are mostly in manufactured hives but they do occasionally nest in cavities in large trees, voids in building walls, or other protected areas.

Bumble bees use old mice burrows, cavities in buildings, and other locations to make their nests. Like honey bees, bumble bees make cells of wax.

Answer 3

waiy until dark and go outto whwere the nest is and pour a quart to a half gal. of gas. down the hole and about 18 inch diameter aroung the opening, let it saturate the area and DO NOT LIGHT ON FIRE!!!! you'll burn up the gas before it has a chance to work!. i have exterminated a few of these kinda nests livin in no.mich. after 2-3 days digging the nest up i have found the nest to be the size of an nfl football to an nba basketball. so be careful!!!!! bees, wasps, hornets mud dubbers and yellowjackets dont have skin and as the gas is filtering down through the soil it is premeating thier nest and buning them things up( this is why most stingy bug killer is petroleum based)

You have to be very careful, but there are wasp sprays out there, and wait till after dark when they are all back to the nest.. and spray the nest.. spray as long as you can and then place a large rock or something heavy over the entrance to the nest over it.. so they can not get back out.. that spray should kill them, if they can not get back out.. but be VERY careful !!

Answer 5

However you do it, if you use fossil fuels be sure the fuel can't leach down through the soil into the water table. You don't want to contaminate your own or another person's well. How miserable would that be? You don't want to violate EPA laws and regulations either, so research it before you do anything that will contaminate the soil.

Answer 6

If they're not bothering you I'd just leave them alone. I have alot of wasps and hornets around and have never been stung.
