When I was a kid we enjoyed taking a stick, wrapping it with an old towel, 
soaking that in kerisene, lighting the tourch and letting the flame lick 
into the bottom of the hole of the nest.  But I tink that you would not 
like to do that.

The use to be an aerosol can with a nozzle that would shoot about 10ft the 
insecticide inside the can.
