Almost. You have to kill the Queen, or she will regenerate the swarm. The
Queen does not fly out, unless the entire swarm is moving.

Good point. Bees don=B4t do that, I think.
Anyway, I do have an effective approach to wiping wasp/hornet nests out. I
use a rose duster, used to apply insecticide dust to rose bushes, to apply
Ortho Sevin dust. The dust does not annoy the wasps or hornets, so one can
simply walk up to the nest ignoring insects coming and going, put the duster
nozzle to the entrance, and crank the blower handle for a while. This blows
Sevin dust into all the nooks and crannies. Then walk away. Two hours later,
all buzzing has ceased. And the former nest is still poisoned, and so cannot
be recolonized for some time.
Ortho no longer makes a plant duster, but
see<https://www.bugspraycart.com/equipment/dusters/gilmour-d1-duster>.
And Sevin
dust:<https://www.lowes.com/pd/sevin-5-dust-1-lb-garden-insect-
killer/3351616?cm_mmc=3Dshp-_-c-_-prd-_-lwn-_-google-_-lia-_-241-_-

BwE&gclsrc=3Daw.ds>
Sevin dust used to be 50% active ingredient; don=B4t know why it was diluted,
but I=B4d suspect the EPA. For this application, probably 5% works just
fine.

Nope. You have to kill them ALL. One of others will become queen in
a new nest if you let it happen. If all you had to do is kill the
queen, the time of day wouldn't matter. There would be no need to
wait until they're all home.

Add a "Beware Of Wasps" sign and a big arrow pointing to the fake nest.
That'll keep other kinds of pests away from your front door also. ;-)

You dont want to "keep them away"...you want to exterminate them.

Thanks for the reply. Good idea about spraying after dark.
I did a search for a repellent and found that WD-40 sprayed
on the surface would supposedly help keep them away.

I live in Alabama, where we have a few. The most effective thing I have found is to pour gas down the hole and then drop a shovel load of ashes on it. The funes from the gas kills the yellow jackets and they cannot borrow through the ashes.
Tried the same mix I use, very effectively, against fire ants and it simply does not do the job. This does.

You don't want to keep them away. You want to kill them so they don't
set up homemaking 10' away. If you don't kill ALL of them, the ones
that are left will do just that.

I'm east of the Rockies and the eastern traps work well.

Spray the nest in the evening, after dark, when they're all home
watching television. Don't turn on any more lights than you need to
see the nest. Spray the hell out of it.

Spraying just before nighttime is the best option to kill them because
they are not active then. The objective is to aim directly at the
opening of the nest and kill them as they exit because they will rush
out to face the danger and get hit by the spray, which kills them
instantly. There are many great wasp/yellow jacket killing sprays which
allow long range shooting. This is crucial cause when one of them is in
danger, they send a signal to the rest and they will swarm to the threat
and sting like hell.
Once they are all killed, remove the nest thoroughly, purchase a fake
nest and put it in the same spot. Wasps, yellow jackets, bees, etc. will
not build a nest where one already exist.

Funny. SO much for the fake wasp nest.

Isn't that always the way? ;-) At least you're prepared for next
time. I make sure I have a case of hornet spray in the garage. Never
know when I'll need it.

Then, they will build their nests on the case. :-)
