Killing wasps

[Marshmadness20]

we have a pump up fire extinguisher we fill with soapy water then compress with the air compressor. its great we can get the ones up high in trees or the eves of the house without getting close.

Been doing this for a couple of years now. It also works on Fire ants.

Soap works great! I have used it for years!

I seen several DIY wasp traps on the net, using a 2 liter bottle, a straw, bacon, soapy water. They fly in, eat so much bacon the fall off the straw drown in the soapy water.

Dude if I could fly then that would probably kill me also. I loves me some bacon.

I use carb cleaner. Not scent free but cheaper than wasp spray and it evaporates. It kills them mid flight even.

Thats what I use, works great.

Is there a record-book minimum on wasps?
I had some here this last summer that I think would
go gold-medal.

Really? Wonder how that works??

Wasps have an exoskeleton or waxey layer that holds all their body moisture in.The detergent which has grease cutters in them dissolves it and they instantly dehydrate and die. Another product called silica dust will do the same thing as well as boric acid.

Wow - I didn't know that, definitely going to try this.. I always get wasp under my carport!

I buy Demon WP from a local feed store and mix in my pump up sprayer. I spray all my stands inside and out in the Spring, again in September. Wasps don't build nests in my stands and it always amazes me how many dead wasps, bees, spiders, etc I find in there. No odor at all from the spray.

Yes it does... The dish soap (especially Dawn) will eat the waxey layer from their body or exoskeleton causing all internal body fluids to dissapate. This is a near instant death if mixed in concentration..
