... yeah, had the same thing happen on V8 #2 last summer ... the buggers had
built the nest between the trunklid mounted taillights and the lip used to
lift the lid ... I didn't realize it was there until *after* I opened the
trunk ... good thing I didn't hit the nest!
I'd recommend getting some of the wasp/hornet spray that shoots a strong
stream and hit the nest with that ... once you kill the bugs you should be
good ... until the next yellow jacket finds that prime real estate! Don't
worry about long term effects ... the stuff evaporates pretty quickly ...
