I was brush hogging a field of christmas trees for a customer one time and ran over an abandoned woodchuck hole that was taken over by yellow jackets. When that mower passed over the hole it was like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucked out a ball of yellow jackets the size of a bushel basket.

He went into the shed and grabbed an old brown glass jar and a teaspoon and said "lets go, show me them bees". Off we went in his truck back to the field. By now the yellow jackets calmed down a bit. He walked up to the hole, unscrewed the lid off the jar and dumped a half of teaspoon full of powder down the hole. When I asked him what that stuff was he said that it was Arsenic and that would be the end of the bees. I told him that he better not get that stuff mixed up with his coffee mate or it would be the end of him! I"m not sure what that stuff was, but it sure was a one sided fight. Next day there where dead yellow jackets everywhere.
