      Diatomaceous earth has very tiny sharp edges that scrape off some of the waxy coating on insects that prevents them from dehydrating; the DE is not directly poisonous, so I'm not sure if it would be transferred into a yellow jacket nest in a way that would be lethal to the rest of the population.

    Been dealing with yellowjacket nests every year for 45 years, tried everything with mixed results. The one solution that is cheap, and has worked everytime. Even on those hard to find nests in ivy, retaining walls, blackberries, etc. Figure out generally where the entrance is and remember it. Go back at night with about a quart of gasoline, dump it in that spot. Gas fumes being heavier than air, settles into the nest and suffocates the bees. Next morning, no hive activity. I know, not environmentally friendly, well, neither is all the various insecticides dumped in volume trying to kill those resilient ill tempered creatures. I'd rather deal with sharks that have lasers strapped to their heads, than yellow jackets.

    When you mentioned the brand name I immediately recognized it from the Bhopal disaster. Apparently the name is owned by another company now and they -no longer- still use Carbaryl which was made from MIC that caused the disaster.
    Edit: Actually, the Sevin 5% Dust that you demonstrated does use Carbaryl as its active ingredient.

It's the worst industrial disaster in the World to date.

      Sevin is not a safe product. It's extremely toxic to all insects including honeybees. It's quick and easy I'll give it that. Please be careful with it. Notice to wear gloves while using the stuff. Also, maybe a covid mask to keep the dust from accidentally getting in your lungs

      From the looks of it the yellow jackets just have to walk through it while entering into the hive and that just automatically spreads it everywhere so it gets onto every other wasp. Then it's most likely absorbed into their hide as that's how they breath. That's just a guess though. :)
