I am getting overrun by Hornets (not so much wasps) they are under the roof tiles on the second story of my house...any ideas?
I use that Raid 20ft spray but it is not effective from the ground and I am chicken to put a ladder up there so close to their little firebases. Any ideas? Even my Terminix guys are pussin out on me. I use the jet nozzle and blast em but it aint wasting their collectives. I hate these pigfuckers

Pants, sweater, gloves, something to cover your face and neck - then get on the roof.

My favorite asshole insect. Isn't there a comercially available wasp and hornet killer. I understand they die instantly with the stuff, no kickin'chicken.
Of course it means going up there after them. The spray has a range of about 20 feet. It comes out in a straight stream. You'll have to know the location of each nest or hive. Hit the nest, they all die. The stuff kills them 3 ways. 1. Sudden lowering of the ambient temperature. 2. The chemicals also shut off there nervous system. 3. They suffocate. I think Raid , Black Flag, and Ortho make something like this. Billster |

i work for terminix, if these guys were at my branch, they would be in trouble.
Wasps and hornets should be a covered insect. call the branch manager and ask him to come out since your technician wont do it. |

I couple of years ago I got some stuff called Wasp Stopper from my neighbor who was a retired lineman for the phone company. Just hit 'em with it and they drop. |

Bucket + Dish soap + Water. It will knock them down right away, then they will die in minute or two later.
The fire department uses soapy water to dispatch large hives of Africanized bees around here. I've used it on wasps many times, and never been stung. Might want to have a second bucket handy though, and leave the door open just in case you have to run. Edit- do it in the early morning or late evening when they're not as active. |
