Just set a bucket over the nest & put a rock on top of it. The next time your nosy neighbor comes over, He'll prob'ly kick the bucket over, at which point the little critters'll follow him home! .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)")

Oh, oh... I got 2 good stories, they won't help you with being environmentally friendly, but they sure will get you laughing...
First, I remember when I was about 13..(most all good stories start with that statement). My cousin and I were mowing grandma's lawn, we found a jacket nest. We immediately forgot around mowing and stared playing. We put buckets, rocks sticks... about anything we could find in the hole. The best one ( at least it was the most fun, but don't think it worked out too well ). We tied the push mower to a string and parked it on top of the nest for a while.. we had bees everywhere....
Second...
My boss came into work about 5 years ago and asked us how to get rid of a yellow jacket nest. He was from a large city, and this was his first experience. We told him to put gas on it. He did... about 2 gallons worth.....
By the way... what is the best way to find a nest? If you see some jacket's around the house? Is that a sure sign you have a nest close by? Or do they have a long range?

I HATE yellow jackets!
About 10 years ago I was doing some bush trimming along a fence. I felt the first sting on my wrist area and knew immediately I was in a nest. So I dropped the trimmer and started running towards the house. While running, I stepped in a hole and fell, bending my thumb in ways it wasn't meant to. At least the serious thumb injury helped take my mind off the stings. I probably only had about 4 or 5 stings, but had to wear a cast for about a month.
I truly believe if that whole scene had been videotaped, it would have won on America's Funniest Home Videos.  | |

I used to do a lot of grass cutting when I was younger. Yellow Jackets don't seem to like when a 52" walk-behind mower goes over their ground hives. Nothing funnier than seeing a mower running unmanned across the yard and the operator running in the opposite direction swatting wildly.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
