WaspsTreat the wasp nest as late in the evening as possible. Remember that all wasps, hornets, and bees are at rest when it is dark.First, mix some Cypermethrin in a Pump Sprayer with water. Set this aside and have it ready to spray. Next, spray the nest with an aerosol can of Wasp Freeze. This will enable you to spray the nest from a distance or reach higher areas without the use of a ladder. The Wasp Freeze should first be directed at the entrance of the nest to eliminate any guard wasps. This will instantly knock down and kill any aggressive wasps that may come out. It may be a good idea to have a second can around in case the first can runs out unexpectedly. Then spray the Cypermethrin solution over the nest. You may want to wear safety googles if spraying overhead to protect your eyes from the spray. Wait a day and look for any further activity from the nest. If you still see wasps flying to and from the nest, apply the Cypermethrin again. When all is quiet, carefully remove and destroy the nest. |
