Gas and fire is great for nests not close to a house or plants you want to keep, But don't use it close to flammable things or items you want to keep. I used this method on a big yellowjacket nest years ago out in a field I mowed. I got stung 3 times before I made it in the house. First I located all the exits- there were 2 and I marked them with stones. Once it got dark I went out and blocked all but one exit with the stones. I filled that sucker full of gas and lit it. It was glorious! Fire and bees on fire shot out of that hole 8 ft. up in the air. No more yellowjackets. Paybacks are H@ll.

There is a trick my grandpa uses to kill underground wasps, it may not be the cleanest method, but what he does is get some gasoline pour it down the hole and then lights it, all the wasps die within seconds. And any wasps that were outside the nest can't go back in due to the strong odor of the gasoline. It doesn't seem to do any damage to the soil since he plants a garden every year and nothing has ever died from him doing that other than the wasps.

Used to be a professional exterminator and we used Drione on a daily basis. I don't know if it's changed but it was always illegal in most states for anyone without a license from the EPA, though it was sold online for anyone to obtain. Also, evergreen bushes secrete sugars that the wasps just love. They don't eat it or anything like that, but the scent attracts them from a long way away. If you remove those bushes you will see an immediate drop in the number of yellowjackets on your property. If you are going to spray it out in the open (not into a crevice) you also have to be very careful. First, if it gets into any natural water source such as a stream, lake, pond or even ground water table you could be facing prison time. We often had to deny jobs because there was no way to treat the area without contaminating a water source (typically in boathouses or on trees that grew over the water). In those cases we had to either suit up and just manually remove everything or just let it be).

There is a bid difference between wasps and bees. Wasps are NOT bees. Bees are Honey producers and pollinators. Bees are absolutely needed for our food production. Google that. They only can sting once and only sting when absolutely threatened, e.g. stepped on accidentally barefoot or caught between your shirt and skin maybe. I kept bees once and they are amazingly calm if one keeps calm. Wasps are the baddies and Yellowjackets are the worst. They need to be eliminated... You did a good job to the nest under the shrub!

Plus there are many common plants that are solely pollinated by wasps and only wasps. Not to mention if you leave wasps in your garden they incredibly reduce the pest population because they kill and eat them. So please before you go out and talk big like you know what your saying... google it.

I doubt I'll be believed but hornets can be trained to behave. I once had to get on a 2nd story roof to fix a leak. There was a large paper wasp's nest about 2 feet from where I needed to work. As I walked toward the nest one came flying straight at me and I backed off really quickly. Waited a couple of minutes and tried again. Another one came towards me again and I backed off. This happened about 10 times over a 20-minute period. Finally as I moved closer they stopped sending out scouts. I knelt down to start working with the nest 2 feet to the left of my head. I could have easily reached out and touched it. I worked there for the rest of the day moving like I normally do fetching tools and materials and hammering nails and they never once bothered me. I just made sure that I always approached the nest slowly and they were fine with that.

poor a quart of gasoline down the hole, every one will be dead by morning. (don't light it) the fumes kill them and get all through the nest. be sure to do it at night, if any are not in bed yet they will survive and hang around for days.

Hi, I think you like bees. Me too. But well I like wasps too. They´re beneficial and important. They kill caterpillars and other bad insect. Less wasps, more caterpillars. Then people use insecticides and bees die on flowers... all wasp trappers kill bees. All entomologists will say wasps are beneficial for gardens and forests. If you think they are bad, ask some of them. They watch insects for years and know them. See my wasp or hornet feeding and you will believe in their unaggressivity. The wasps never attack with no reasons. They are peaceful. people who say yellow jackets attacked them want only to kill more of them... for their own. And their pets. Petting dogs is not bad, but wasp killing is. Wasptrappers kill bees by killing wasps for their own. Believe in this, it´s a bad genocide, not saving bees. It´s killing beneficial insects and damaging nature.

With yellow jackets that burrow in the ground not around structures I use a road flare, light it and put in the hole,it removes all oxygen and burns up the yellow jackets trying to get out. The hole is usally a perfect fit for the flare.

Just watched a video where the guy sprayed dish soap and water. Wasps were deader than a door nail. For small hanging nest, I've just knocked them down on a cool night and stomped them with my foot. Sometimes I even leave them alone, then knock the nest down in the winter. I've also used a trap with a mason jar, a few holes in the lid, water and chicken guts...traps a ton of wasps. I hate spraying toxic chemicals if I don't have too.
@handydadtv5 жыл бұрын
Dish soap works by suffocating the wasps (they breathe through their skin). So you need to spray it ON them, in other words, you need to be able to see the nest.
@phillipvansickle42205 жыл бұрын
I have no shortage of hornets and wasps in my yard... Tried spraying dish soap and water on them...it worked like regular wasp spray...surprised how well it worked! If you can't see the nest, you could flood the hole/cavity that the nest is in with the soap solution using a weed sprayer from the home center. Soap and water may not work in every situation, but it does work.

Hey, you did a great job killing those nests, but spraying it out in the open was not good. It is most certainly bad for you if you inhale it, but it will most probably also kill honeybees. That is a very bad thing for all of us! All in all though, great job!

Yes I heard clearly you said kill bees, also killing insects because they dig holes in your lawn!!! Birds feast on insects.. Also just leave any wasp alone and It will be OK untill some idiot comes along waving and screaming and shouting, this then sets them into attack mode. All they want is a banana skin to feed off. Just think if some one whacks yourself you hit back the wasp can't hit you. I get the problem with dogs digging up the nest and you did right to fence it off. They only live for a few days. Wet and cold weather clears them away as they don't like cold and wet conditions.
