My Ponytail palm has a large swarm of yellow jackets living in or under it. In zone 6, it will soon be time to bring it in for the winter. If I don't bring it in soon, I am afraid I will kill the plant. But in order to bring it in, I'll have to kill any number of yellow jackets. My DH was stung earlier this year by a swarm of these same YJs (he ended up on prednisone), and it seems like I'm the only one who thinks the plant is worth saving! The guy at the hardware store said to spray them at night, when they're asleep in their little beds. Maybe smoke, like beekeepers use? I feel a committment to this plant! I'd be very appreciative of advice or suggestions.
xxxxx, Carrie
