Help with yellowjacket nest

18 years ago

I was trimming a cedar hedge today and disturbed a nest. Luckily I only got stung once but they were really swarming. I went back tonight to spray the nest but I can barely see it as it is way in the middle of the hedge so I couldn't see any exit or entrance holes to get the spray in. Anybody got any good ideas as I need to finish trimming the hedge. Thanks for some help!

Call for professional help, may cost a few but a major yellowjacket attack is even less appealing.
Just a thought if there is no clear line of attack.

I gotum! Went in at dark with flashlight and can of spray. Could barely see the nest but not the entry and exit holes so I gave the nest I could see a good soaking and the next morning the activity had ceased.
