        I've used the sprays that shoot 20 feet with great effectiveness
        around my house.  However, one should read the warning label
        carefully.  You really do not want to breathe the stuff or get it
        in your eyes.  This will be a real possibility if you are
        trying to do this on a tower from 10 feet away as the spray will
        create a fine mist which will filter down on you if you are below
        it.  It almost seems like something you should do at night when
        the yellowjackets are dormant, so that you can get close, soak the
        nest, and then get out of there while you are still holding your
        breath.  Don't forget to protect your eyes, then clean yourself off
        afterward with lots of soap.  Above all, be careful.
