It actually works better! Yellow jackets do not have the protective
layer of hairs on their bodies. Kitchen detergent is fine -- I use a
tablespoonful for each hand held spray bottle.
When a wasp alights, one can set the bottle on "stream" and fire several
volleys quickly at the wasp.

If aim is accurate, the wasp drops to the ground immediately and dies
shortly thereafter.
In a separate communication, I am sending Kelley my extensive write-up
on yellow jacket control. Other interested parties can request the same,
but please do so directly and not on the network.
p.s. I will be absent for about 5 weeks, beginning 13 June.
