A few years ago my then mostly bling brother came over to cut some firewood that I had piled, not cut. I had some railroad ties (fence posts) stacked too. One of my sisters was over acting as the better part of his eyes, and they went back and he began cutting. Underground yellow jackets nest and one that completely hollowed out a railroad tie came to life and they both got pretty stung up. From them I learned that smearing a meat tenderizer paste on the sting takes out most of the sting right away, and it does. Not all, but most. I didn't know about the nest in the railroad tie at first, but saw them coming and going into two different holes in the ground and 4' apart. I did douse and fill them with gasoline, let them, left them to burn. I figured worse case, the fire would draw the oxygen out of the nest and smother them, then I drove back and forth over it with a truck, smashing it. End of them, but saw some going in and out under a tie, so figured a nest under it, not in it. I chained the end of the tie to the back of a tractor, and pulled it out, scrambling a good hundred feet or so, then stopped. I had to roll the tie to unhook it and when I did, there was a huge nest in the hollowed out tie, and were they ever mad at me and the noisy tractor. I got stung quite a few times, and was told about the meat tenderizer paste, and it worked. After they calmed down a little, I doused the nest with two cans of wasp spray that shot about 25' and killed it. That thing was a good 2' long, hollowed out the square of the tie. Was huge. Amazing to me is what they did to that tie to achieve that. Holy cow.
