Getting Rid of a Wasps Nest Yourself
WouterGetting rid of a wasps nest yourself can be tricky, and requires some knowledge and safety precautions. You should never attempt to remove a wasp nest without proper safety equipment and safety knowledge. This is especially true if you have allergies. You should also avoid lighting a fire. If you do, you will be stung and possibly injured.
The best way to get rid of a wasps nest is to hire a professional exterminator. But if you have the time and resources, there are a few things you can do yourself.
One way is to use a wasp spray. The best wasp sprays use powerful pyrethroids and neurotoxins to kill wasps on contact. They are especially useful for hard-to-reach nests. Apply the pesticide to the nest opening at night, and wear protective gear.
You can also make a simple wasp trap. Just fill an empty bottle with water and sugar. Place it in a shady spot outside. You can also buy traps at your local do-it-yourself store. The key is to keep your pets and children out of the area while using the trap.
Another effective method for getting rid of a wasps nest is using soap and water. Dishwasher soap is a good choice, as it will bog down wasps, reducing the chances of you being stung. You can also add a little dishwashing liquid to boiling water. The dish soap will also coat the wasps’ wings, making them less likely to fly away.
