how do i get rid of a budding wasps nest?

Answer 1

Raid Wasp and Hornet Killer has my STRONG recommendation. The can shoots a strong stream at least 15ft., and kills so quickly you don't have to worry about being stung. My boy suited up in thick clothing, gloves and goggles expecting to be swarmed as he sprayed a nest under the eave of our house, but every last one fell straight to the ground like rocks immediately. Which was comforting, but I must say, the masochist in me (watching from behind a glass door) was slightly disappointed there wasn't more of a show...

Answer 2

Be careful Do you really want to get rid of the nest? Wasps in general are useful little animals to have about the garden - they kill housefly grubs among other things. If you don't flap at them, they've no interest in stinging you. When we eat breakfast outside in summer, the wasps never sting - but they do nibble at leftover marmalade & honey smeared on the plates. The children are fascinated by such a close-up look at a truly alien species (their mouths move sideways, for instance).

On the other hand, if you have a phobia about wasps as some people do, any insect killer or insect repellent will do the trick. Be careful, though. I do not know a better way to make a crowd of wasps stinging mad than to attack their nest. Possibly the safest way is to wait until it's cool (preferably after dark) - the wasps will be quiet then and easier to corner and poison.

Answer 3

Just knock it down with a broom or stick. When the wasps don't find their nest, they move on to another location.

Answer 4

Toss a Small cup of gas on it. They will just fall on the ground quickly, then knock it down. Believe me it will sure do the trick! Plus the smell of it wouldn't let them come back
