I saw a show a while back where a guy was killing killer bees with nothing but soapy water. He had a hand pump sprayer and one shot of soapy water they fell faster than an anvil off a bridge.Not one drop of insecticide was used! Most insects breath through tiny pores near their legs and if the soapy water gets pulled in to the pores when they breathe,foams up a bit , and it cuts off air flow.The air passages run through the entire body and connect to every cell, since they don't have lungs. What would happen if you put up a dike around the nest and flooded it with soapy water??? It might be worth a shot!From what I hear about those nasty little buggers, ANYTHING is worth a shot.
