Help! All of you gardeners out there. I have a yellow jackets nest under my Hydrangea bush right beside the front porch. My favorite place to while away the afternoon or morning, the place I visit with my friends and family, where Sophie and I read in the afternoon, is now a dangerous, and potentially ouchy place to be. These are very aggressive bees, they come out if anything gets near the shrub and they actually chase us when we are out there. Sophie was stung on the eyelid last week and I was stung this morning. Help! How can I get rid of the nest without killing my Hydrangea, which is decades old and came with the house? Thanks.

I tried this and it worked: hang up a fake nest like the Waspinator (google it). It's a great deterrent because wasps are so territorial.
You can also try powdering their nest with Sevin dust at night, if you know where the nest is and can reach it.
Good luck
The only thing I know to get rid of wasps and bees, besides chemicals, is smoke. You might try lighting a bunch of incense sticks and sticking them in the ground. And you'll probably have to do it more than once. Good luck.
