My point is that whatever you use is going to have toxic effects. Pyrethrin will kill non-target insects as well as using most other means of insecticide including non-conventional means such as gasoline. I am not advocating using gasoline, I was merely offering a suggestion that I know people who use it as a method of yellow jacket control.
The most eco-friendly method that I have heard of is to put some sweet smelling fruits near the hole around dusk and let the raccoons and skunks come get that. More often than not they will take the yellow jacket nest too as the larva are a great energy source. I have used this method twice with great success.
