How to Get Rid of a Wasps Nest
WouterWhether you’ve discovered a wasp nest on your property or are planning to attack one, it’s important to have a plan of action. A good plan should include protective clothing and safety equipment, as well as a method to remove the nest. It’s also a good idea to check with your local vector control district for tips and guidance.
Wasps are stinging insects and they can be quite aggressive. If you have a large wasp nest or a hard-to-reach nest, it’s best to call a professional to come and do the dirty work.
A good way to kill wasps is by using a wasp spray. These are powerful pesticides that can be used to attack the nest from afar. The best types will kill many wasps in the first strike. If you don’t have access to an insecticide, try spraying a solution of plain dish soap into the nest. This will coat the wasps’ wings and cause them to drown.
For the best results, spray the nest in the early morning or night. This is because wasps are less likely to be aggressive at night. The best sprays will also contain pyrethroids, which kill wasps on contact.
Wasps can be found in any unexpected place, so you may be surprised to learn that they actually have a nest. These are generally located in sheds, loft spaces, and wall cavities. They are also often found in tree branches and railings.
For best results, try to avoid the use of torches or lights, as these can interfere with your ability to detect the nest. Also, it’s a good idea to wear protective clothing, such as gloves and a mask.
