Why I Quit Using Wasp Spray

[@ytubey706]

East Tn. Got into yellow jackets in my horse barn in my hay this week. Dozen stings all over. Could not use chemicals around hay. Mixed this up, sprayed at least 10 nests at night. Worked beautifully. Instant kill. Cleaned up stragglers today. Cost of 2 gallon: 1.50. Awesome. Thank you.

Tip. Purge the spray line with water if you are going to keep the container full of the solution for future use or the line water will evaporate and the soap residue will crystallize and clog the spray head.

[@virginiamoss7045]

This is partly why people buy the canned spray; it's just convenient. You don't have to stop and prepare something. There's the problem you describe and then there's the soap you have to clean off of whatever you spray whereas the commercial poison just evaporates right away with no residue. I will use the soap method from now on in spite of the inconvenience and cost of the sprayer.

So I'm installing gutter guards and get to an inside corner, where I'm having trouble getting it to fit. Several days pass while I mull over my predicament, and in that space of days some wasps decide the underside of the guard is a good place to build a nest. (We've had no rain) So I figure a solution to my problem, go up the ladder, and get repeatedly buzzed by these wasps. I had some Ortho foaming spray, but couldn't get it to work in such a tight space. Then I watched your video. I made the soap and water solution you recommended, and at 1:30 am I went up the ladder, and sprayed. OMG it worked like a charm. When the wasps flew out, I sprayed them directly. So tomorrow, I will finish installing on the inside corner. Thanks for providing a super-easy solution!

[@aaroncarranza1129]

I use the same solution but instead of the bug sprayer I use a aquazooka water blaster. It shoots faster and farther with more volume. Fill a small bucket for quick reloading.

I've used this method for over 20 years. It only works on an easily accessible nest that is in the open. Do it at night or on rainy overcast days to get the entire nest!!!!!!

[@JMK1998]

@Mary Jane, you are absolutely correct, (ONLY TIME) is at night especially on a cool evening, the later the better, the entire colony is in there in a dormant state. Do it during the day can be dangerous because wasps returning to the nest will defend it vigorously, and if you can't run like hell you will be a swollen pin cushion. Many people are not aware of this fact and will be in for a big surprise.

For anyone wondering, when you buy soap you have to make sure it has a degreaser additive because it’s that degreaser that clogs the pores on the insects exoskeleton causing them to suffocate. Just google what insects breathe through an exoskeleton and there’s ur list of what you can kill with it. And usually the best ratio is for every gallon, add 1 cup of soap

[@zoltanszucs9346]

Are there any non-degreaser dish washer soaps out there? 🤔 I thought all of them contain degreaser. Are you able to clean greasy plates and cutlery without degreaser? Im just asking bc I can't really match up this brand with any European one.

[@elram2649]

​@zoltanszucs9346 I would think the viscosity of the spray mixture is what bonds and clogs the breathing pores on the underside of the insect. And so I'm thinking any liquid dish soap will do the job as long as you follow the given ratio of soap and water. But of course, if it has the degreasing chemical agent, it should perform more effectively.

[@clarkwanner4209]

I go out after dark to hunt down and kill wasps, they return to roost at their nests and don't fly at night. This raises the kill ratio per nest to near 100%. It also lowers the chance of being attacked and stung. Happy hunting!

[@brookemcquale5096]

You should try mixing in with the dish soap some ammonia. Since we were kids my brother and I used to use that mixture to kill everything, but we didn't use a sprayer. We used the bottle the dish soap came in because the nozzle on the bottle is perfect for squirting the foam into the entrance of the hive. The reason this works so well is because the foam not only traps the wasps, hornets, etc., but it also helps keep the ammonia fumes in the nest. The best thing about this is not just the effectiveness of it but the fact that as soon as the ammonia evaporates there isn't any residual poison to harm kids or pets. Been using this method for nearly 50 years and it has never failed to do the job. 2 tbsp soap; 1 cup H2O, 1 cup ammonia and shake a lot (the thicker the foam the better).

I cannot believe anyone would give a thumbs down. These stinging insects hurts like Hel. Thanks for this video. This year hornets and yellow jackets seem to be more aggressive. So I will try this solution. I usually buy the expensive stuff but I will try this. Once again, thank you.

Obviously, you're gonna get bad comments and thumb down people out there. Most of them, if not all of them are haters and/or only seeking the wrong kind of attention. More especially with you being respectful, asking them not to do so, and why. Haters are gonna hate. I wouldn't worry about them if I were you. Thank you for taking the time to create this video, uploading it, and sharing with everyone. I've got a storage building infested with wasp, and a huge back porch infested with those big carpenter bees I need to get rid of. I'm gonna try your solution ASAP. I'll update whenever I do to let everyone and you know how it turns out. :)

Appreciate this video! We have a wasp problem. And, for whatever reason, they’ve become aggressive. Now they’re trying to build right above our back door! So, I’m definitely gonna give this a try. I saw somewhere that adding peppermint oil to the mix will prevent them from returning. So, I may add that in as well. TFS!

Try hanging a waspinator on your deck. It looks like a hornets nest so discourages them from building nearby. www.amazon.com/Waspinator-set-of-3/dp/B000PWA1PC

Cool tip! And your son's "bloody" appearance made it funny. Nice that it works with ants and cockroaches as well. I saw another video where they said wasps avoid other wasp nests because they do not like confrontation, so you can trick them by stuffing a brown paper bag with paper, then twisting the top closed and hanging it where wasps like to hang out; they will supposedly leave.

For ways to handle pests without poisonous pesticides, see natural exterminator Stephen Tvedten's excellent resources. Unfortunately youtube will not allow me to post links, so figure it out from this: stephentvedten(dot)com thebestcontrol(dot)com/sitemap(dot)htm Also look at the youtube channel OrganicPestControl, and search facebook for Stephen-Tvedten-Pest_Control-Expert-404967422918337 I haven’t seen new KZbin videos since 2017 or FB posts since 2014, so not sure if he is still with us.

Great idea! However, I recommend using wasp spray for home defense. If someone does a home invasion, and you have an aversion to firearms (which I don't) use the can of hornet/wasp spray. Hit them in the face. But I'm going to definitely get a sprayer and some dawn and use it on my hornet/wasp nests. Thanks for sharing this very useful and educational video.

[@groussac]

I've got a paper wasp nest similar to yours under my deck. I won't take it down because they're out of the way, they don't mess with you if you don't mess with them, and they help out in the garden. However, if they were located under the deck stairs as in your case, they'd have to go. Since I garden, I would try to relocate the nest rather than kill them, but oh well. We do what we have to do. BTW, you're right about the soap. It works. Just before watching this video, I used a soap solution to take out a bunch of squash bugs. Not nearly as concentrated as yours. I've found that a couple of tablespoons per gallon H2O works just fine.

[@yurbeeinwatched]

Good vid man. What else works great for ants is corn meal. Put a pile by the nest and the workers will take it all back to the lair. They cannot digest it and will basically eat until they die.

fatima adams if you spray soapy water on the grass you will kill the grass and few wasps as the nest can’t be easily reached. Use ant powder for under ground nests puff some in the entrance and the wasps going in will distribute it killing them all.

I use Brake Parts Cleaner CRC Brakleen as it is really cheap to buy. It cost like $2.50 a can at wal-mart and it is instant kill. I've found that I can spray a wasp nest with almost the same wasp spray you have and I usually spray about a good 1/8th of the can on the nest and they literally fly away and still sometimes attack me. But when I spray a little Brake Parts Cleaner CRC Brakleen on them they just drop right away and die without even twitching when they hit the ground.

I have wasps around lawn equipment and automobiles. The canned spray can damage paint and eat up some plastics. On car mirrors I wait to dark and blow them out with an air nozzle on an air compressor. On my riding mower I got a nest behind the gas tank. I used Raid flying insect spray on that one. Pressure washed them out the next day. A nicely painted house eve you don't wanna use chemicals. The soap is better. Doesn't soften the paint. Yellow jackets I use gasoline. No need to light it as some people think.

Sorry but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, yellow jacket nest in the wild can become literally the most dangerous thing you can ever encounter in the woods. Wild nest pose a much more deadly risk, being hidden and unnoticed until too late most of them time. I have seen yellow jacket nest the size of a car, if a kid just walked up on it, he wouldn't make 5 steps without dropping dead, and that is no exaddderation in the slightest. KILL ALL WASP.
