[Shop-talk] Eradicating yellowjackets in a stone wall?

[Jimmie Mayfield]

I recall seeing a video where someone was trying to eradicate a 
hard-to-get-to hornet nest in a roof where they wound up leaving a 
running shopvac at the entrance to capture the hornets as they 
entered/left.  If you later suck up some powdered pesticide like Sevin 
or diatomaceous earth, it ought to kill them while trapped in the vacuum.

I only had one  :-)  Emptied 3/4 of it into the gap in the wall but not a single angry wasp came out so I'm not convinced I hit anything. Morning will tell.
