I got 8-10 stings when I pushed the weeding tool down into a yellowjacket
nest the other day. And a few years ago I ran the lawn mower over a nest and
they chased me away, stinging through my t-shirt the whole way.
I would not just leave them alone. In the evening they settle into their
nests as their feeding is done. Watch the entry hole until you don't see any
more of them coming home. Then place a jar over it so they can't exit.
anchor it well. After a few days the wasps should be dead. I don't think
they have secondary exit holes. Perhaps an expert will have more information.
