While in the Willamette Valley, we talked to a winery worker that said that yellowjackets had infested their grape fields last year. They had a very dry spell and the yellowjackets were boring into the grapes to suck out the liquid in them. Really makes wine tough to make when the grapes are hollow!
They used an airplane to spray insecticide.
I keep hearing on this and other forums about people dumping gasoline into the bees nests. Please folks - DO NOT DO THIS!
You are contaminating the soil with benzene, toluene and other pollutants. Why would you do this when there are safer sprays to use for bee nests?
I can't find their nest. Any tips?
