Keep all garbage cans and dumpsters shut tightly and away from eating areas. The insects like to nosey around in the garbage for scraps and everything sweet. When walking in wooded areas wear heavy clothing for protection against the stinger. Stay calm as possible because flailing movement will cause the yellowjackets to become very aggressive. When finding a nest do not disturb. It's time to contact a professional pest eliminator. Crushing a yellow jacket is not advisable. The Yellow Jackets give off an alarm pheromone that alerts others in the area to attack. When enjoying outdoors avoid scented perfumes, hairspray and lotions.go for unscented products. Overgrown and wooded areas are prime nesting sites for yellow jackets.
Using  gasoline to try to eliminate a yellowjacket nest is dangerous and environmentally unsound. An AMPM Exterminators technician will recommend recurring services for follow up treatments.
