Victim from Arroyo Grande, Ca. writes

Can I use this to eradicate a yellow jacket hive in the ground? How?

Answer:

Yes, the Riptide 5& Pyrethrin ULV is labeled to treat for Yellow Jackets. According to the product label, the aforementioned outdoor ground application will give temporary relief of annoyance from these pests in listed outdoor areas. Direct application into tall grass, shrubbery and around lawns where these pests may hover or rest. Apply while air is still.  Using Riptide with the Talstar P will give you a fast knockdown and then the 30 day residual.  Spray Talstar P and Riptide on trees, shrubs, bushes, and ground. You can also spray your lawn to help control the low flying yellow jackets that tend to land there. Talstar P will give a long lasting residual while the Riptide will give you a fast knockdown. You can use both products in the same area to get both a fast knock down and a long lasting residual. It is best to treat in the early morning or the late evening when these pests are most active.   The size of your yard, how you dilute the product, and how heavily you apply will affect how quickly you go through it.  There are many variables, but you can see use rates and application information on the product label.
