Nope. I had some build a nest under my cedar trees near my beehives. I waited until evening, fired up the push mower with a full tank of gas, and run it over the entrance and left it. Got a beer and enjoyed the evenings festivity's.
Yellow jacket carcasses were going everywhere. It was awesome. When the bodies slowed down to 1 or two every now and then I left the mower going and went in. Came out the next day, moved the mower. Good. I had to do it a few more times as larvae hatched and matured. But I got them all.
