This sounds crazy but I've killed out nests several times with this method.
1. Get a clear (not frosted, not decorated) large vase with a top opening in the 4 inch range.
2. Locate the nest opening during the day light hours. This should be done at a distance, but you'll see where the lil buggers are going in and out.
3. After dark place the vase open side down over the opening of the nest. You'll want to ensure good contact with the ground. Maybe even place some mud around the base.
4. Wait a couple of days. This works because the yellow jackets will dig a new escape route if the primary route is plugged (This is the one you covered with the vase) however if the primary hole is still intact (as is yours) the yellow jackets will fly out into the vase and begin to look for food for the nest. Because they see day light they will not realize the hole is covered. This is their universe. The fail to find food and the nest will die out very quickly.
Try it you'll like it ;^)
