Does anyone know of a non chemical way of getting rid of yellow jackets?  I'd
like to find a way of just discouraging them from inhabiting their current
nest; but if not, a non toxic extermination method.
Thanks

Dear Kenny Swain,


Here is a video of Paul Stamets who has invented a fungi method to stop
carpenter ants...this may also work for yellow jackets.

Paul's company's website: http://www.fungi.com/


The simpliest solution is the Wasp Ruse:

Food for thought,

Doug Casimel
