We had a farm we leased once, adn out in the middle of one of the fields, there was a huge bumble bee nest underground there. They were causing problems with horses getting stung and then when bailing season came around, you can guess what kind of problems they caused. Anyway, we got a five gallon can of diesel and poured it down on the ground where the holes were and in the holes too. Then they lit it right as soon as the can was away. I don't know how close they are to the building, but if it is near it at all that could cause it to burn, then dont do this. Also, the grass needs to be green, not dried up and you can guess why. Hope this helps. You could also just try diesel without lighting it. Diesel wont evaporate like carb cleaner and gasoline, so it will stay in the ground for a while. Also, be cautious of where the groundwater goes (like wells right there etc.). Hope this is of some help. Hurst
