How to Kill Wasps With WD-40
WouterWD-40 is one of the most commonly used household products. It is a multi-purpose substance that combines a number of chemicals to protect metal, smother rust, and kill bugs. It is also an effective lubricant.
The most important thing to remember about WD40 is that it will not kill wasps instantly. Instead, it needs to soak in the nest for at least an hour to kill the beasts. It should also be applied with care, as WD40 is toxic to wildlife.
The best way to get rid of a wasp infestation is to make sure that they don’t get back to their nest. This can be done with a simple water trap. Alternatively, you could hang a raw meat piece from a tree and see if they are lured in. If the wasps get into the trap, they will get knocked out.
It’s a good idea to get a face shield to cover your eyes when you are applying WD-40. It is also a good idea to wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt. This will keep you from getting too many stings from the nasty chemicals.
A small bottle of lemon extract makes a great wasp repellent. This is because lemon extract contains a large number of acids and enzymes that are known to deter wasps. The solution is best made with three tablespoons of lemon extract and one cup of water.
A hose-end sprayer is also a good way to spray the WD40. If you do not own a sprayer, you can also use a long stick or broom.
