Can Wasps Eat Through Spray Foam?
Whether you have a large yellow jacket nest or a small hornet nest, you can kill it using a spray. If you do not want to use a spray, you can apply a pyrethrum aerosol. The pyrethrum aerosol should be used at night. During the day, it is best to use a spray that is able to kill the wasps from a distance.
If you have a wasp nest in your house, you will need to remove the drywall. Wasps will chew through the drywall to create a way out.
Before you begin, inspect the area where you suspect the nest may be. Wasps are more aggressive when they are in fear. This is why it is best to try and get rid of the nest before removing the drywall.
Wasps do not have hard parts like bones, so they cannot eat through hard plastic or metal. However, they can eat through polystyrene, drywall, caulk, and wood. You should never use foaming spray sealant on wasp nests because it will not be able to reach the interior of the nest.
You can also try to enclose the nest in a plastic container. This will help to keep the nest safe and will also keep the wasps from entering your house. However, you will need to make sure the container is tightly covered.
It is also possible to set fire to a wasp nest. This will kill a few wasps, but it will not kill all of them. This method is not recommended because the nest will be agitated.
