No Poison Shop-Vac Yellow Jacket Trap!

[Chauncey Gardiner]

1) If you look in the photos you can see the closest access we can get, i.e., just above where the brick ends.

2) All we have access to is the little hole outside the house.

3) After emptying the canisters around noon, we caught much fewer today, maybe 20 to 25.

4) I am hoping the bulk of them are gone, but tomorrow morning we'll get both vacuum cleaners fired up again!

I think your current bee problems are quickly coming to an end. Good job! :thumbsup:

It would be a good idea to seal the entry points when you're finished catching the bees.

Agreed!

Emphasis on finished catching the yellow jackets!

Otherwise, they will go "Munch, munch, much...oh, Hello LEDAdd1ct! You don't mind if we swarm in and play with your flashlights, do you?"

Done this a couple times, they get knocked out but can reawaken if not drowned in a inch of water, little dish soap guarantees death.
Gross and noisy but works well.
