Does anyone have a good way to kill off ground wasps (yellow jackets)? My folks are having a serious problem with them all over the yard. They are very aggressive wasps that build nests underground. When you disturb the nest, they swarm out and sting you multiple times. My dad hit a new nest and was stung over 20 times by them. Earth-friendly methods (i.e. not gasoline poured into the nest) would be preferred as they live right on a lake.
