Diesel doesn't have the effect that gasoline has...vapor wise.
I tried gassing a yellow jacket nest in my garden with a propane
tank...didn't work even with a match added.
Next, i took a length of PVC pipe and stuck it onto a garden hose and
inserted the whole thing deep into the nest. Drownded most of em.
Then I got a spray can of ether [starting fluid] and a lighter and hung
out with that flame thrower, tossed rocks at the nest and burned them up as
they came out.
Then got a heavy log type object and compacted the nest solid.
Working on making a Bee gun to turn wood bees into has beens...shoots
bird seed. Left alone, those guys will turn your rafters into sawdust in a
hurry. They even chew up treated wood!!! They hollowed out the ash wood
handles on my wheelbarrow!! Been playin Bad Bee Minton too. They're hard
enough to hit that it's like a sport.

Hey there Coyote;
I don't smoke or chew, so I'm stuck with mud - so to speak. I hit a
yellowjacket's nest in the ground once with the cat's blade, Boy were they
pissed! Took a gallon of diesel in a plastic jug and upended it into the
hole, and ran like hell. Came back that evening to rescue the machine,
and here were all these yellowjackets humming up and down in front of the
blade, a cloud of them, worshipping the biggest meanest yellowjacket ever,
I guess.
Take care, Malcolm

The old remedy for bee sting is a dab of wet tobacco.
Dousing the wasp nest with gasoline knocks em right out...The vapors do
the job instantly. Not one gets away. Any action that includes a match
and subsequent fire is up to you.
BTW A blast of butane freezes any bug in mid air. Great for bug
collectors.

When I felt particularly murderous I tied a propane torch to a pole and
incinerated them as they launched (most of them, anyway.) This was mud
daubers, for paper wasps nests, which are actually rather beautiful
constructions, I wouldn't risk the fire. I once stumbled into a bald
hornet's nest in an old log, and had to run down the gully and jump into
the creek up to my nose to avoid getting stung really badly.
Colloidal silver is not worth diddly for beestings, but mud seems to
help ease the pain and swelling.

ok, I see natural repellents here on mosquitos and flies, what about wasps?
Hubby just beat a brand spanking new hive they were building (they were
none
too pleased about it) down and it looks like they are attempting to
rebuild.
I hate the darn things (I remember my first wasp sting at 4 yrs old and
I've
hated the horrid creatures ever since).
