One of the nest boxes I constructed over the winter has become home to a nest of yellow jackets. Ordinarily I'd just wait until winter cold killed off the yellow jackets and then clean out the box, but this one is located near the front door of our house and my daughter is highly allergic to bee/wasp stings. So I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the little blighters. I could just spray some of that foamy insecticide into the entrance to the box, but that would presumably render the box unfit for future bird habitation. I could climb up there after dark and seal the entrance hole, but there are also four drainage holes at the bottom and two vents at the top and by the time I finished sealing them all up I expect I'd have more than a few stings to show for my effort. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
