Used the foaming wasp spray in the evening, douching the heck out of the hole a few hours after dark. Then, because I believe in overkill, I used the excavator to compact the heck out of the immediate area around the opening. A roughly 4’ x 4’ area smashed down 8-10”.

This is what has always worked for me. I can’t say I haven’t lit it before for the fun of watching those cruel hate machines burn up.

Why not? Go out after sunset and pour just 1 teaspoon of gasoline in the hole, then close the hole over with your foot or a small wad of paper. The fumes kill the whole nest.


I was thinking I'd have to ignite the gas, didn't realize I just needed a small amount and the fumes would do the rest. Im going to try and go with water and dish detergent and if that doesn't work I'll try gas. Thanks
