hose off the area after or it will be tacky (if u care) great video!

I didnt know, now I do. tyvm

1 cup of dawn to gallon of water.

Great video, I will try this. Does it work on mud dabbers also? Thanks

Eight minute video for 1 minute content!

Detergents break the surface tension of the water, surface tension is what keeps water striders on the surface, allows some spiders to take tiny bubbles below the surface so they can stay submerged for a short time, it causes hard water to form droplets, allows water to ‘bead up’ on some fabrics, and is what causes water to just flow right off your lawn instead of ‘soaking in’ or penetrating the soil. It is also what prevents water from entering the tiny pores, called spiracles that many invertebrates breathe through, It doesn’t CLOG anything, it just makes it easier for water to enter the spiracles, and drown the insect. Consequently this will also work on aphids or grasshoppers.

Do not spray on plants in direct sun. It will burn them

Here in PA we often get those small ants that climb over all the counters, they come by the thousands. We put it on the counter top with no water. We spread it but we don't get it up. Ants are gone. BUT, it is so bad this year, we called Terminex.

Great vid- succinct and quick- thank you!!

6:41 no punt intended😉

Dish soap is "the one thing that destroys" wicked witches too

I have used this for years also. It works.

I dash of dish soap mixed with water in a sprayer works wonders for fighting mold/mildew for outdoor plants

Awesome. I had never heard of this.

I have the exact same trimmer! Will upgrade to rhino tuff string. Thank you and now it tine to clean up all these weeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!

The soap softens and swells the chitin exoskeleton around the the bugs spiracles (breathing holes on its abdomen) and the bugs suffocate.

Why kill the wasps nests? They don’t bother anything and don’t they pollinate things? I just leave them be.

It’s the only thing we use. Also works on ants

The soap breaks the surface tension of the water and the "bugs" drown because the water flows onto the breathing pores in their exoskeleton. Like the content creator said, the soap (surfactant) and water also sticks to their wings and they can't fly either. DAWN+WATER = DOOM to wasps, carpenter bees and many other pests with exoskeletons. 🙂 After you are done with the BUGS, add TABLE SALT (1/4 to 1/3 cup per gallon) and mix well to kill weeds after you are done with the BUGS! Be careful to only spray the unwanted plant because it will kill your grass that it lands on.🙂🙂

Do this after dark guys. By then you will catch the whole hive there instead of just a few wasps.😂

Wow

Would this work on ants?

Will this work on getting rid of Getkos?

Make it with a gallon of vinegar, a cup of salt, and a good squeeze(2-3 ounces) of Dawn dishwashing liquid and you got yourself a great non-toxic weed killer!

Thanks

If you want millions of views, then re-title this video to something stupid like... "Watch and amazed just put the spray soap on it"

The soap is a surfactant. A chemical that breaks the surface tension of the water. The bees and other bugs breathe through small holes on their bodies. Normally, because of surface tension, the water will not enter these holes (bugs don't drown in rain). The soapy water CAN enter the holes and drowns the bugs. You can use as much soap as you want, but you really only need a teaspoon maybe tablespoon of soap. I used this same solution to apply vinyl decals/signs/letters to glass. Spray plain water on glass and it beads. Spray this solution on glass and it "sheens". The vinyl can be floated into position.

I used this dish soap this year and it killed anything I sprayed it with I mean anything . There was just one drawback all the leaves on the plant that I spread started to dry out and die! Now I was spraying a few times a week but yes the leaves just started dying over time! That was Cherry trees and raspberry bushes and the garden plants! Maybe after spraying take fresh water and wash the soap. I will try that next year!

Dawn and duct tape, the only two things a human needs to survive in any environment.

Wasps kill pests that eat your garden though. Might be a good idea to let them live if they aren't bothering you.

does this work on Carpender Ants?

Less wappen more axion

You can also take a gallon of white vinegar and dissolve 1 cup of canning salt in it and add a half cup of the dish soap. Man does it ever kill weeds!!!!! Works WAY BETTER than circle up whitch is carcinogenic (causes cancer) and it is not bad for animals either. Super cheap and effective weed control. It will kill grass too so don't use it on the lawn. It will still kill wasps too and the vinegar keeps the soap from sudsing up. The soap is a surfactant so the plants absorb vinegar and salt and DIE.

thanks for the hack but be honest neglect those nest and after a number of years they will grow to the size of an average adult in height, so get them early get them fast wishing you and yours many blessing from God. (ps went camping with friends, found abandon farm in the barn the biggest hornet nest i ever saw we left immediately and put distance between us and it the sound it made was dreadfully ominous and loud. it sent shivers from the top of the head to the toes. That experience still haunt me every time i think of it)

Thank you this was so helpful for me

Formula also works on dogs with fleas.

Go get your wife’s measuring cup, so you know how much you are pouring in

I wish he would have used a kitchen measuring cup for the "Dawn" and poured it into a 1 gal. discarded plastic bottle and show the water being added to a typical fill line even though the ratio isn't critical ! It would just simplify the mix !

Most fire departments do this. Wasp and Hornets breath through their skin. Basically they choke to death instantly.

This is true I’ve done this in my garden

Oh no!… How are the big chemical companies going to make any money and survive with this information getting out?! 😂

Brake parts cleaner in a spray can completely demolishes wasp on contact. Instantly.

Video was ok but you go on and on about the same thing!

Dish soap is an old trick used by carpenters too for putting nails into wood without bending them. It makes it like putting your finger into water, theres very little resistance when nailing.

Thanks for sharing from Australia

Good stuff!

OUTSTANDING! I get a lot of wasps in the summer here in OK and I have never been happy with the use of pesticides and the risk of stings (I am mildly allergic but my grandkids are Highly allergic). This opens up a whole new treatment of wasps and not only in the barns, but around the eves near the vegetable garden and the house. Thanks so much for this presentation. 😄😁😊🤩

How much did the annulment cost?

Also, since insects breathe through their skins (they have no lungs), it suffocates them.

Works on spiders too.
