Wasp Control, how do you do it?

what you seal it with?

To answer your question, I just stock up on Spectracide when it's on sale at Lowes and walk and shoot around the house every few days. This summer should be interesting though because it's our first summer with our new metal patio in the back.

A couple of years ago, my inner thigh discovered we have red wasps. Was out there washing the vehicles, and my daughter was helping. I'm barefoot and wearing some old gym shorts. Felt something stick my knee. So I swatted at it, and didn't see anything. 10 seconds later, a 2nd sting, and then a third. The dang thing got in my shorts and was working its way up my leg, stinging all along the way. I stripped down with a quickness and went full rampage mode on what crawled out of the shorts, which were now on the floor of my garage. Wasp spray was purchased and I was taking them out for the next month.

Is that just a paper grocery bag?

LINK This stuff is the shite. I spray it over all exterior siding and eaves and it prevents them from building nest. Also kills any spiders/roaches/etc that cross over that spray for the next 3 months.

Yeah, when I get stung I start a goddamned jihad afainst those frickers. It's all out seek-and-destroy for the next year or two. No matter how many you take out, they will always find somewhere to hide. Last year there was a huge nest inside the reel my hose is on. I would never have looked for them inside of there. Unrolled the hose one day and a swarm burst out.

I've sprayed myself and had a company spray some last year. I suppose it worked to a degree but reapplying seems to be the key. I started spraying ever other time I mow.

Not sure what bats will do regarding wasp, but I've been thinking about some bat houses to help with mosquitos. We'll see how that goes this year if I ever get any up.

Yes, apparently the wasp think it's a Hornets nest and don't want anything to do with it. I have 2 stapled to the rafters in my shed.


To get rid of mud daubers spray your house with premetherin. This will kill the spiders which is a good source for them.

I have been told the wasps think it is a hornets nest...


Maybe its true... I am just not sure how you would know what a wasp thinks..
