Okay, now that python and I have established that we absolutely do not understand each other's sense of humor I need some help with this DIY...
Found a yellow jacket nest (it actually appears to be underground), how do I get rid of it in the most non-toxic way? Reason I'm asking about non-toxic is because I don't want to kill the surrounding plants...
So far I've poured about a gallon of boiling water down the yellow jacket tunnel, but I've also read you can add mint oil to the boiling water. Being I don't have any mint oil on hand - would a breath mint do? Like an Altoid or something? Some minty herbal tea?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Btw., I feel like a bit of an *** running around with a boiling kettle of water in the dark, but this is apparently the only time the yellow jackets seem to be inactive.
