Normally I don't have a problem buying refurbished, but ...

I may be having a problem with yellow jackets that I'll need to deal with.  I'm not particularly fond of getting stung once, let alone lots of times.  I got curious about full body protective bee suits and did a search.  Yeah, I found refurbished ones.

Think I'll pass on those.

Where is the nest?  Yellow jackets I'm familiar with like to dig a nest in the ground.  Our usual method for dealing with them was to take a half cup of gasoline, wait until dusk when the beasties are mostly back in the nest and sluggish, then pour it in and toss a lit match.  Sometimes a passing raccoon noticed the burnt nest and dug it out; he got BBQ, we got rid of the yellow jackets.

If they're setting up in your house, I'd go for professional help.  No need set the house on fire 😄

Just had the exterminator out as they had built a nest in our cinderblock foundation - we had tried many "solutions" only to have to get a professional to deal with it.
