4th video, sorry it's so grainy and off-center. Had to prop my phone up on various garden plants.

AN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS

I made a video of me talking to the camera about this, and then decided that nobody wants to look at my neckbeard for 3 minutes.

The soil is VERY LOOSE AND POROUS. This means that trying to suffocate them will not work. Furthermore, gas will likely burn poorly, like putting gas on a wet sponge. It will disperse through the damn soil and not likely be very effective.

Yellow jackets live mostly underground. As such, using a magnifying glass, flame, cold, compressed air, or other things on the surface will likely not be effective. According to my research they only build one exit, so trying to vacuum them out will not likely work.

I like the idea of pouring concrete down there. It is viscous and will leave a cool mold of their nest

Some gases that are heavier than air could also be effective at drowning them. I have considered putting a lit charcoal briquette under there.
