It's that time of the year and I see that wasps are out in the full force. Some are saying it's as bad as ever, although I can't compare with it being my first house. I am doing a little research and would like an opinion on the best company for pest and wasp control. Orkin? Also, what is the normal price for these things?

I am trying to see if it is worth it just for the Summer. I am having major problems with wasps gathering underneath shingles on the roof in positions I cannot safely venture. It is in the area just above my front door and awning.

Terminix has some excellent wasp spray. I wish they would sell it. But it is worth it for them to come spray.

I read that and was interested. Is it better than wasp spray or just more cost efficient.

I normally just make my rounds around the house and yard with two cans of the ole Bengal wasp spray every few weeks.

Just as good and more cost efficient. Usually drops them on spot. Just have a good sprayer to leave a good distance between you and wasp.

He could use one of those garden pressure sprayers.

From what I read, the Dawn basically sticks to them so bad it just suffocates them and eliminates their ability to fly? Pretty novel concept.

Bonide Wasp & Hornet Aerosol is an aerosol that would give a very quick knock down of the nest. You can spray as far away as 20 feet. This quick kill wasp aerosol has an oily base so care should be considered when using not to stain a surface.

EcoPco Jet Contact Insecticide Aerosol is another alternative. The ECO PCO line is much less toxic than other insecticides because they are made up of botanical lines. For a quicker knockdown, choose Bonide Wasp and Hornet Aerosol.

Tip:
Spraying into wasp nests should ALWAYS be done at night. Wasps are far less aggressive and are all at home.

Yea that's what they say, seems to work well. Then just spray the nest and go back and knock it down. If none of that works for ya and you get stung buy Bengal

Just don't flail around like a fricking retard and they won't sting you. I have painted over many wasp nests with them still chilling there because I don't jump all around

Spray your house with premetherin to kill all the spiders. If the wasp food source is gone they will go away.
