The wasp and hornet killer aerosol cans put out a stream up to 20 feet long. If you could enlist the aid of a few helpers you could get three or four cans and bombard the entrances to the nest from all angles simultaneously....Even with a partial hit that stuff is so lethal that even if they can fly they aren't coherent enough to sting. If you could get it to all exit portals at the same time you would just mow them down as they exit their nest to defend.

And as Rev Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof liked to say "On the other hand....", I had an up close and personal meeting with the residents of an in-ground nest at our cabin about 10 years ago. Yellow jackets are smaller and faster than wasps so they are hard to see. I unknowingly ran my riding mower over the entrance to their nest and got about thee pops on the noggin before realizing what was happening and exiting the area.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
