A Recipe Worth Remembering

1) Take one yellow jacket nest – this one was built under the dog’s house in my back yard.  (I found it the hard way.)

YJ7-16

2) Add 2 gallons boiling water with a dollop of dish soap – do this at night when everybody is asleep in the nest.  Wear your motorcycle leathers, winter gauntlets & full face helmet just in case a few sentries are awake.

3) Repeat 6 days later

YJ8-11

The result 36 hours later.  There are still some yellow jackets capable of flight in the nest area.  It started out like O’Hare airport, now it’s a farmer’s private field. 

YJ8-12

12 hours later & its all quiet on the western front.
