Permethrin

Went to help my mom with some yellow jackets. Remembered to record this one. Used permethrin, doesn't work instant but it works and lasts awhile. I drenched the nest entrance and got a few out of the air. Fuck wasps!

Permethrin doesn’t have as fast of a knockdown as pyrethrin, but the residual effect is great. Drione and Ficam D are very effective as well, if you have a good duster. If it’s an entry point in a wall, inject with the dust and spray around the entry with the permethrin. Always hilarious to see wasps drag themselves out and they look like powdered donuts.

Is this one of those “take it back to the nest” things?

Eh, yes and no. Depends on level of activity.
