yellow jacket nest, cant reach

 somewhere under the eaves of my house on the first floor is a nest.  the
yellow jackets swarm all over the area and are starting to chase me and my
wife when we come in and out of the house (its a duplex, we're on the second
floor).  they are also starting to get into the neighbors house on the first
floor.  i cant see the nest, ive sprayed a couple of cans of raid into the
hole in the wood they are flying in and out of, but no luck.  i cant plug up
the hole or they'll all just use the exit into our neighbors house.  what do
i need to kill them? thanks!

 Call a professional exterminator.

 yes, yes, i like to learn to do things myself though if it's reasonable to
do so before just picking up a phone and writing a check.

If you really gotta kill 'em, use just about any insecticide dust or
powder (not granules), and toss a goodly pinch in the hole. (best to do
it in the evening)  Sevin dust ought to work well, but it's not always a
good choice because it stains.

thanks, i have no choice, they are chasing me and my pregnant wife whenever
we come in
and out of the house and have already stung the downstairs neighbor.  i've
called a bunch
of exterminators and they're all quoting me $175-$250 since the nest isn't
visable (who the
heck would call for a visable nest when Raid is $5 a can).  I'll see if I
can find a place with
Sevin dust and give it a shot myself.
