I live in North Florida. There is a yellow jacket bee hive in a big clumpof pampass grass (sawgrass), that I can't get rid of. I have used thelong-shot Black Flag sprays, using a total of (3 ) 18 oz cans at onetime, but I cannot get rid of the nest. The bees come right back to it.I used the long-shot spray method because of the danger of getting tooclose, but even that was risky, as I had to fight off many bees with thespray, as they were coming after me.My wife got stung 8 times while she was working near this spot, and thatis how we first learned of it...Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can get rid of this nest ?The pampas grass is quite large, and I cannot see the actual nest, butdozens and dozens of bees continue to fly in and out of the plant, so I knowit is in there somewhere.Please help !!!Thank you.James

Oh yes, the real deal. Get a gross each year. Just like the ones dad got in the 60's.

Sevin is not available in Ontario in any form - I think that is true across Canada.

Might be available to a licenced pest exterminator, but I doubt it.
