We did that, but it was with a hive of ground hornets. Wait till dusk when everybody is home and and set a screen over the hole. (it keeps them from pouring out and going after you) Pour gasoline down the hole. Wait.
All dead. If you want fun, set it on fire, but otherwise, dig it up and see how big it was.
My son did this with one that was about a cubic foot. I was glad to be rid of it as they had been all over the property, and they get aggressive around August.
Who can afford the gasoline to do that?
My dad taught me to use a one-quart canning jar of gasoline.
Wait until night, about and hour after full dark, when they are all in the hole.
Invert full canning jar on top of whole.
Jam some newspaper in the tine of a garden rake, and light.
Use burning end of rake to knock over jar.
Whoosh! Ground wasps dead. Flame sucks all the oxygen out of the whole - which is good, because those nest can go 6 or 8 feet deep.
