I have a Wasp nest problem, under some construction garbage that I would like to take to the dump today. Any Idea's on how to get rid off them, or slow them down so I can load the balance ?

Thanks.

If you can identify the exact location then that wasp spray chit works well...
Not sure if you want or can burn at all but I usually use gas for the inground nests....Plastic beer cup of gasoline....and throw a match....then use an extinguisher.....nothing will survive....heat from fire+cold from extinguisher.

At my house in lamont we used about 1.5 liters of gas in an underground nest...man we lit that sucker and flames and dead wasp carcases shot 20+ feet into the air...was really cool...:d

You have to get the nest late at nite in a bag. they are not active then.

That would have been cool to see!!!!! I can't burn them, because of the location their at. Maybe I'll try to be a little braver, and see if I can find their home, and go get a can of Raid.

That does work well. But these guys are under crap, or possibly in ground :confused:

We had a fairly large nest hanging under the deck right beside the hottub. I got all dressed up, coveralls, boots, helmet with goggles, gloves thick jacket and I pressure washed the nest apart. Waited a while and they were all gone.

I just threw a rock at their home, and they REALLY didn't like it(nor would I). But I think I know where their at. I'm going in to get a couple cans of Raid.

Thanks,

Doug

Yup that spray works great. Early morn is your best bet as thats when its the coldest. I've used both the spray and the foam you inject into the nest and both work great. As its always smokin hot I would dress up coveralls boots tape no holes hat with mosquito net if you have one etc. You might also want to try a fogger first before you move all the chit as that will definitely slow them down .... good luck .... pics are always nice too :d

Well......Just sprayed one can on them, and it really slowed the activity down. I'm going to wait a minute. Disturb the house, and see if I can dump another can.

I am thinking I should have bought more than 2 cans.

I have heard that the wasp sray does work, but I always have cans of either/quick start around and have used it for years.....had a wasp nest at a neibourghs last year the size of a basket ball. They didnt know what to do, so I took the trusty quick start, Waited till 11:00 at night, had a can in each hand and sprayed into the opening, it took a can and a half unil they stoped buzzing, at one point I thought the thing was going to take off the buzzing was so loud....

would not want to stop once you start.....I likes they were a might bit pissed.....
