Hi! I graduated from Georgia Tech so I'm a Yellow Jacket fan, but when it comes to them in my flower beds, I have to draw the line.
When I was growing up, Mom would pour gas down the hole. Obviously I don't want to do that in my flower bed and right up against my house. Now, she has an armadillo on her property that happily digs them out and eats them every summer.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these fellas. When I was putting in some impatiens in the other day, they flew in and out and only checked me out a couple of times. And I was only about 18 inches away for a few minutes of that time. I think I was lucky while I was pushing it. But my kids and I are passing by within a couple of feet all the time and the colony will probably get bigger and bigger and more possessive, so I need to get them out of there.
Thanks for any help.
