Hello,
 
Anyone there who'd like to offer c some advice on a pest control
issue?
 
I have yellow jackets nesting in the wall of my house, behind the junction
box where electricity enters my house. It is a very active nest, and I
want to destroy it, especially since we are in the process of painting
the house right now and have to work in that area. I want an effective,
least-toxic method to kill them. I talked to the folks at BIRC who
suggested an aerosol mix of silica gel and pyrethrins.
 
Any suggestions, useful experiences? I am not licensed as a PCO...where
can I purchase a pyrethrin product? How responsive are yellow jackets
to disturbance if I do this at night when the cool fog is in?
