yellow jackets on a plan- err, in a house

I'm about to go Samuel L on these fools

Ok seriously, this morning I killed my 2nd yellow jacket in the house since Sunday. One is a fluke, two is a trend. I found them in two completely different spots. One was whizzing around the lower level and the other was found in the upstairs bathroom. I don't know where they're coming from or how they're getting in, but both of the ones I killed were pretty passive so I don't think the nest was close by in either of those cases, and they didn't look unhealthy or disoriented. A few questions to anybody who has dealt with this before:

1. How do I find the nest?

2. Do I need to rent a howitzer?

3. What movie was this line uttered: "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Burn that mother down. The movie was the original Batman (Keaton/Nicholson).

Since they live in the ground, what's your crawlspace situation?

 

 

They dont always live underground.  Last summer I had a big nest of them under my front porch.  I had to crawl under there a couple times with some of the long range wasp killer to get rid of them.

The only crawl space I can think of that we have is the one in the front directly under the foyer. It's not that big but there's a bunch of old tires in there that haven't been disturbed in like forever.

Any moisture or collected water in those tires is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, a gathering place for snake and the dark moisture is very attractive to yellow jackets.  

 

Did you know mosquito larvae and eggs will normally freeze during the winter and thaw in the spring, only to grow into the bloodsucking insects they are.

This is setting up to be a superhero origin story.

I'll check and get back to you on what I find. Probably not going to be tonight because I'm going to a concert.

What about claymores? Are they good for eliminating yellow jacket nests?

They're better for trolling 13 year old snipers.

Use a room fogger while you will be gone a while. Eliminate anything in the house first.

Im guessing nest in the ground nearby.

Napalm. It's the only way.
