BTW, Diatomaceous earth is ineffective on yellow jackets.=C2=A0 It works on=
 animals that will eat it like slugs and worms.
If you found the hole try putting a rock over it.=C2=A0 Can't hurt.

Should I expect they're in the ground, or would they have built a nest amon=

If the can didn't work, any ideas on what to try next?
