How to Kill Wasps
WouterUsing a hose to spray water on wasp nests works well as a wasp killer. The wasps are paralyzed by the soapy water and drown. But, if the wasps are inside the nest, a bucket of water may not be enough.
Wasps are a nuisance in the summer. They can cause a lot of damage. Their stings can penetrate hats, shoes, socks, and bandanas. They can also sting people who threaten them. They sting more if they are hit. They also inject venom. If you are stung, you may have pain and swelling. It’s best to get medical attention if you have a serious reaction.
Wasps are social insects that live in colonies. Their colonies are located in the eaves of homes, railings, fence posts, and wall cavities. They are usually black or yellow in color. Their nests are made from thin, paper-like material. Wasps return to the nest at dusk.
Wasp nests are flammable when they are dry. Trying to burn a wasp nest is dangerous. The wasps will attack anyone who tries to burn the nest.
Wasps also play a role in the surface tension of water. The wasps think that rain is a uniform mass. Each individual water droplet is about 0.2 to 0.5 mm in diameter. However, the gap between the individual water droplets is larger than the sum of the individual drops. Consequently, the majority of the water droplets falls toward the ground.
Another method to drown wasps is to use a spray bottle. Fill a 16-ounce spray bottle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of dish soap and half a cup of water. You can also use generic soap.
