I don't know why anyone would waste money on wasp spray. All you need is a plastic spray bottle with water and dawn dish soap mixed. Kills the wasp easily

I have problems at my camp with red wasps building nests in the boat trailer hitch where the ball goes. Damn near knocked myself out getting the hell out out of there when hitching up the boat. Ran into concrete block pier that supports the house

Them son bitches are sneaky open up the grill fing red wasps, take the boat cover off fing red wasps.

One of the advantages of having kids is the arsenal of supersoakers in the garage. Dishwashing liquid and water gives you a long distance wasp bazooka.

I've heard a lot of folks talk about water and dawn. Guess I'll have to try it because I'm always running out of wasp spray right when I need it.

I have a problem with them getting in my stacked stone. They love the crevices in that shite.

It's all I ever use. They drop like a stone. Dawn concentrate is the best stuff. You can literally make gallons and gallons of insect killer for just a couple bucks. Works well on aphids, squash bugs, or any other garden insects without the toxicity of chemicals leeching into your veggies.

If I'm taking on a huge nest I use the super soaker otherwise a spray bottle set to stream works just as well. Plus it's just added practice in point shooting. It's like a day at the range with moving targets.

I don't take any chances with a weak mixture. For a 32 oz spray bottle I'll put in about 3 tablespoons or a solid squeeze of the Dawn Ultra. I know I'm ready for action if the water takes a slight color of the soap. I use green (apple blossom) cause it shows up better in my sprayers than the original blue.

I employ a mix of karate, a screaming 10 year old girl, and a former Olympic sprinter who has let himself go.

Works every time.

I usually mix up a plastic cup with dawn and water, gets a little tricky when they are under the eaves.

I just nuked 4 nests. The last one needed 2 rounds of dawn soap and water. Must have been 50 of those Red Devils. Death to wasps!!!!!

Is it just me or are wasp sprays not effective anymore?
I can't knock them down with anymore, and I've tried everything available at WM and Trsctor Supply.

I feel like Obamas EPA must have regulated them to weakness.


But I'm going to have to try Dawn and water because they are out of control right now.

I'd love to see if a few dragons breath rounds would light up a large nest
