What is the best method for getting rid of yellow jackets? We are plagued by them this late summer. We are noticing large (very large) yellow jackets flying by...these must be the queens that are being referred to in the articles above? Do they live in the same nests? Thanks for the info.

Get a 'bug zapper' at a hardware store (usually sold to kill mosquitoes) and hang it in the area of your yard where the yellowjackets are most prevalent. Before you plug it in, put some bees honey on the inside screen. Then plug it in.

The yellow jackets usually get a bit of a shock on their first attempt to get the honey, and that makes them angry. They then go back with a vengeance, and ZAPP - they are charcoal.

The slow way to get them is to take a gallon plastic jug and make a dime size hole in the side it about 1/2 way from the bottom of the jug. Put a bit of warer, 1 or 2 inches in the jug and some honey and or some rotten meat. They will crawl in the hole after the bait and can't find their way out, so they drown in the moat.
