I've heard some folks say "plug the hole" but I have seen times when nest had more than one entry point. Plugging may not work. Waiting till night is best because ground burrowing types of wasp don't usually fly after dark. They are snug in their nest. I know this may not be environmentally correct but a pint of gas poured down the entry hole after dark has always solved my wasp problems. What the gasoline doesn't get the fumes will. But at todays gas prices this my need to be rethought too. Good luck.

I've done this before and tried all the remedies. Here's what works...wait until dark...pour about 2-3 cups of gasoline into the hole. light a stick on fire and carefully touch it to the hole. Stand back! Don't use more than a few cups. This will burn the wasps as they sleep and kill the hive.

The garden hose method works but I usually get about a gallon of vinegar and pour it down there also. Vinegar is poisonous to insects as it messes with their digestion and is harmless to people, small critters and plants (in low quantities).

Buy a can of Great stuff (Expanding Foam From any hardware store or Home Depot)) & wait till after dark and fill the hole with the foam. Using Bug spray & other stuff will piss them off & they will come out of the hole.

My wife flooded their nest with a garden hose, then covered the entrances with a heavy tarp to make sure.
