How to Get Rid of Yellow JacketsThe do-it-yourself trap for yellow jackets

All you'll need is an empty 2-liter bottle, a scissors, and some sugar water or fruit juice. Cut the cone off about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the bottle, flip it over, and staple it into place so that it looks like a minnow trap. Then, fill the bottle with fruit juice concentrate or sugar water with a little soap, and hang it from a hook or something outside.

or there is another way if you prefer

Pouring boiling water or soap water into the entrance of a yellow jacket nest is one way of killing yellow jackets and rendering their nest uninhabitable. Of course, this particular tactic should be done during the late evening, and measures should be taken to cover the skin in case the colony is feeling particularly blood thirsty that evening. If you're going to use soap water, why not do it with some organic dish soap

its also a good idea to wait until it is night because that's when they have problems flying but it should be fifty degrees or lower

Any yellow jacket nests discovered in later summer or early fall should just be left alone. The coming cold will take care of a yellow jacket nest for you.
