Recommended Control and Elimination Measures for Yellow Jacket Control
Sanitation: To eliminate possible food sources, it is important to reduce the build-up of the foraging population during the summer to mid-autumn. Trash containers should be kept closed, and open containers should be emptied regularly.
Treating Nests: Nests should be located during the day so you can see the workers entering and exiting all day. Mark the entry points. Treat at night only when it is dark. Any treatments should be done at night because they are all in the nest. They don't see well at night, and your chances of being stung are greatly reduced.
Treat the nest with a 0.5 % pyrethrum aerosol such as Stryker 54 Contact Aerosol. The pyrethrum forms a gas that will fill the cavity, killing the yellow jackets.
Check the nest the following day to see if the yellow jackets are dead due to lack of activity. It may be necessary to repeat treatment.
Wait until the aerosol is dry, then dust in the opening with
D-Fense Dust. Apply dust at the entrance. The D-Fense dust will leave a residue to continue to kill for months and eliminate any hatchouts.
With a little care and caution, yellow jackets can be easily and safely eliminated.
Directions
Spray opening at night with the Stryker 54 Aerosol (about a 15-second blast)
Wait until aerosol is dry (10-15 minutes), then dust the opening with D-Fense Dust. Use the optional JT Eaton Bellow Duster (in bundle choices) to get into small openings.

Retreatment
If yellowjacket activity continues after 7–10 days, reapply Tirade Dust directly into the nest opening or suspected voids.
Avoid disturbing the area between treatments to reduce the risk of stings.
If the original nest entry is sealed, look for new openings and treat those as needed.
Locate the nest: Watch yellowjacket flight paths during the day to identify where they’re entering and exiting.
Apply when activity is low: Treat in the early morning or late evening when most yellowjackets are inside and less active.
Step 1 – Knockdown: Use Stryker 54 to thoroughly saturate the nest entrance from a safe distance.
Step 2 – Residual Control: Follow up by applying Tirade 1% Dust into the cavity using a hand duster to eliminate remaining wasps and provide long-lasting protection.
