Someone kill the yellow jackets

If PETA wants to come after me for wanting to poison, torture, kill, whatever, the hundreds or thousands of yellow jackets that have infiltrated my yard, fine then. They’re everywhere and I can’t get rid of them.

I calmly follow a solo yellow jacket and hope to follow it back to the nest. Doesn’t work because the little suckers aren’t too fond of me and become hostile. I’m not into getting stung. Maybe I should wear one of those stupid bee suits for protection. Maybe I can find some bait and kill them that way. Then again, wouldn’t that just attract more?

I want my front yard back, even if the grass is dead. It’s my dirt. I paid for it. If the yellow jackets want to pay rent, then maybe we can reach a settlement.
