I agree, whole-heartedly. FUCK yellow jackets, the irascible little bastards! One of my greatest pleasures in life is locating a nest of them, waiting for nightfall, and then sneaking out and then pouring a whole gallon of gasoline down into the nest.
It usually works, but not always. A hive of them built a nest by the edge of a creek bank when I lived in NC, and the spring rains caused a landslide that took half the nest downstream. The half that was left in the creek bank looked to me like it went about 12 feet deep, and was around 7 feet wide.
I think that one would have taken more than a gallon of gas to kill off.
