under ground ones are tough to get at, after the "bees" are in the nest at night, use a turkey baster to inject 7 powder down the hole, in the morning, they will come to the surface and look for another way "out" once the encounter it, the powder clings to their bodies and is carried back to the nest killing the larvae and queen.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Had them in one room a few years back couldn’t for the life of me figure out how they were getting in, but luckily they move the nest year to year and next year and since they are gone. Remember as a kid daring our friends to get close and throw a rock at the nest under the big bolder, always a good dare.

Thanks for the insight. Between sporadic rain and maybe insufficient spray/user error I still can’t get rid of them. I will look for 7 powder. I think one of the main issues is that they have multiple entryways. Pain in the ass ( and my back where they stuck me multiple times…)
