What about this angle:<div><br></div><div>A motion detector of some sort.</div><div>a coil</div><div>a relay</div><div>a 6v battery</div><div>a wire grid over the opening</div><div><br></div><div>When a yellow jacket is detected we charge the coil and then let it discharge through the grid. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The relay is to isolate an arduino from the coil charging action...</div><div><br></div><div>What sort of coil would I need?</div><div><br></div><div>If this will work at all....</div><div><br></div><div>
Also, what about detecting the bug when it touches the grid? I suppose the problem with that is I'd need to isolate it from the arduino somehow since the high voltage will zap the arduino too....</div><div><br></div>

Let's say I have a nasty yellow jacket nest that's starting to cause problems.
<div><br></div><div>I've dealt with these in the past when the next is very exposed but this time I only have access to an opening about an inch where they are coming and going. </div><div><br></div><div>Has anybody ever tried to put some sort of zapper near an entrance?
