Wasp repellent

[georgelesley]

I just unwrapped a cat flea collar and put it in the outside refer compartment. I was just finishing turning the second attachment clip when an angry wasp crawled out thru the lower vent. I guess they work.

The spray kills them, but it also leaves a lot of stragglers outside the nest looking for someone to blame.

Best way to get rid of hornets, ground bees, etc. is to put some Ortho Sevin powder in a ketchup bottle, and shoot the powder in and around the entrance of the nest. The bees don't mind the Sevin, and track the stuff into the nest, and within a day or two they are all dead, queen included. Saw an exterminator do this--took him five minutes including fetching a ladder from his truck, and he handed my neighbor a bill for $100. Quick, easy, and little risk of getting stung by angry bees.

I went to Amazon and ordered the frige vent covers. They fit like a glove.

Not much of anything really. Check it out for yourself.

Spray the nest area with Pine Sol. I dilute it about half water, half pine sol....roofer taught me this and it works. i put it in one of those pump garden sprayers....that way I can be a bit away. A lot cheaper than the cans of spray. I buy the gallon at Sams Club

Well, maybe it's just me, but if there is any way I can keep from killing a human, I will. A blast of hornet spray in the face will totally incapacitate that person.

I do not think the spray would do as much good as the gun does.

Unless it's the wasps you're after!

I just use the 25 foot spray at home, I carry personal protection every where else I go, even have a 410 pistol in a scabbard mounted to my tractor, we do have wild hogs and Coyotes in the swamp , I do not think the spray would do as much good as the gun does.

lanerd, so you are saying that a person would not sting ya.

I just removed a hornets nest they built in a few days on the SIDE of our MH. Right on the site , and included the awning end that unlocks. I use 2 cans f the spray 25 ft. stuff, then it took most of a day to remove the nest, starting with a water hose and nozzle. Next day the were 8 that returned to re-make the nest, Mass Murderer me got them with another shot of spray 25 ft. stuff. To top that 2 days later I was cleaning brush in the lower 40 and ground wasps got me really good, I waited till dark and murdered them too, but this time I got the whole nest at once. I reckon it is the season...and I will keep a good supply of spray handy.

Had a bunch of jacket nests under the wrap over sheathing on my pole barn and was at a loss as to how to get rid of them. Waited until evening and took my pressure washer with a pencil spray nozzle and basically pounded them out of existence.
