I'm getting ants in the dirt around my pond.

We just found a yellow jacket nest build under our liner. We saw them
flying in and out that's how we found it!

Now how do I get rid of them (right near pond)???

I dont have an answer, but i wanted to say that i have at least one
wasp/mud dobber maybe, that comes and gets water and flies at least
two houses down. I have watched him and he flies very high! We have a
respectful relationship. I don't dip or turn the hose on when he's
sucking up water, and he doesn't sting me when i am.

A nest would be a different story.
Good luck.
