Had a yellow jacket nest hidden under the roof part/eave of a bay window on my home. Small crack was bees access point and I would see them coming and going for a couple months. Was concerned that they could find a way into the home or eventually chew through drywall and give a nasty surprise to the family if they ever found a way in. Fairly new home but still unsure of what the access looked like inside the structure.
After spraying wasp/yellow jacket spray form the local hardware, and filling crack with expanding foam yellow jacket killer spray. Nothing worked. I managed to create some one way entry traps using 2 liter coke bottles and apple juice which did catch just about 50 bees in total - nothing really did the trick. Worried that with fall coming they would get more aggressive and near a walkway someone might get attacked.
So after much research, decided to buy a Gotcha Pro sprayer attachment and this combo of Delta Dust and Puffer bellow. It worked great.
With a 12ft light aluminum extension [pole from the local hardware, I was able to puff the delta dust into and around the opening, I did this at night (but even did it during the day) and bees did not attack as I was pretty far away.
I repeated the dust puffs into the crack for a few days and probably put enough dust into the cavity to kill a small village but I can confidently say - 4 days later and no bee activity. I agitated the siding and fascia board by banging with a stick and no activity.
This stuff works great . Like a baby powder consistency and must really puff and dust inside cavities even though you can t see it puffing much. Takes a day or two to work as when they get it on their bodies they need to groom and swallow it for a sure kill.
Instructions said to lightly dust entrance area as they might avoid it if it is too thick. I dusted the hell out of the area anyway and it worked. I can confidently say that nothing will ever live in that cavity again.
Now I just have to decide whether to go through the hassle of removing the fascia to remove the remains of the nest or just let it rot.

Caution! Bellows could be defective!
The puffer bellow hand duster that came with the DeltaDust has an open vent that resulted in back spray that covered my shirt and surrounding area. There were no instructions with this hand duster. A YouTube video I found showed a threaded cap with a cleaning rod attached at the “vent”. There was no cap or cleaning rod included with mine and no instructions for use. I was wearing a dust mask and safety glasses which protected my face, but I had a mess to clean up. Just closing the lid on the bellies resulted in a significant spray of dust from the “vent”. Beware!There was also a plastic nozzle taped to the DeltaDust container that appeared to fit the bellows application nozzle. Again, no guidance or instructions.BTW...my first application to a yellow jacket nest behind vinyl siding 12 hours ago was not yet effective. I’ll reapply and report back later.Follow up: After three days or so and four applications, yellow jacket traffic was winding down to just a few bees visible at the entry...a vinyl siding joint between the eave and wall.. I decided at that point to hit it hard and used the hand bellows for a very heavy application. That seems to have done it. I haven't seen a yellow jacket since then. I revised my rating from 2 stars to 3 stars. I reached out to the vendor regarding the defective bellows, but have not heard back from them.
