Be a man, go outside and poke those fuckers with a broom handle.

Buy the foam spray for killing wasp nests. Really simple to use. Just spray all around the nest first so they're all traped inside. Then you use the straw it comes with and poke it into this now huge clump of foam and spray into it.

The foam is deadly to the wasps, so when they fly out they won't even make it a few meters. I had a nest in my garage and this worked.

I had this problem a few years back.

First you suit up

Second you spray them with boiling hot water

Lastly you go Rambo on it and beat it down with a bat or something similar

Make sure your door is open so you can quickly run inside after spraying it down and beating it with a bat. Worked perfectly fine for me

I work for the parks department here in vic.... you go to the nests around 9-930... when they arent flying around... get a can of the LIQuID bee killer... and soak the hell out of the nest.. like drench it.. problem solved. They will more then likely be dead the next day. ive killed hundreds of nests this way.

MelonBoy 07-12-2010 09:03 PM

I would like to add please do it in a creative way and post pics for lots of lols :)

Going late at night is key.
The best spray I found was at home depot its in a copper coloured can with a yellow lid.

Lately tho I was having fun killing the fuckers with my princess auto electric fly swatter. Much more satisfying than the spray can method.

thanks for all the comments!
i have thought of most of those! burning down an old swing set = no big deal.
however burning down a deck roof that my parents spent a couple grand on just a couple summers ago = probably gonna get kicked out.

main concern is: let's say i attack one wasp nest... will it call out for help and cause the wasps from the other nest to come over and rape me? the two nests are less than 10meters away from each other.

the other wasp nest in the bushes: well needless to say i'll probably end up burning the whole bush down and possible alot other stuff considering the weather we're having, how dry everything must be. so again...burning = probably not such a good idea.
also did i mention? that nest is at least 11 ft high.

edit: and to the person asking me why i didn't see this sooner and let the nests grow that big.

well my answer to that is...i'm not exactly the "garden/backyard" kinda guy. i only noticed it recently cuz the weather was getting so nice and i decided to do some around the house cleaning; trimming bushes, washing the windows, cleaning out gutters etc...and then i was like..."oh shit!!"

also, i don't usually spend my time staring out my kitchen window, staring into a bigass shrub of bushes trying to see if there's something unusual. i only found out about that cuz my mom happened to see it while she was washing the dishes one afternoon.
i bet if you guys just straight up saw this picture without a title or knew what you were supposed to be looking at, you'd probably never find it

go to Canadian tire, buy a pellet gun, and sit from a distance and shoot, that's what i did and they were gone after 2 days

orange7 07-13-2010 12:19 AM

don't forget to be creative and make a video
like put on a full suit and bring one nest to the other and let them attack each other

^Pics?

Rogue951 07-13-2010 09:47 AM

brake cleaner works well too... only thing I had lying around...

btw that "green earth" or whatever bottle of raid works really well. but not for a nest, get the foam and go at it. early morning.

underscore 07-13-2010 10:08 AM

like other have said, get some of those fake wasps nests to hang up.

as far as killing them, cover both nests with that foam stuff, then shoot it with a slingshot or pellet gun or something from a distance, so that they get pissed and rush out and die right away.

but the most fun thing I could see being done with those two, without property damage, would be to get bundled up and have some sort of flamethrower, hit the nest so they fly out, and torch the fuck out of them as they come after you.

The_AK 07-13-2010 12:23 PM

you should quarantine both with transparent plastic bags, then once quarantine has been set start removing it. I probably wouldn't touch it with my bare hands (just in case) but instead remove it by hitting it with a big object, hopefully the nest will come off along with the quarantine bag, then you wrap it up and let the garbage man deal with it. :thumbsup:

logged wrong account.. can mod delete my old acct? made it because i didn't realize my current acct is still active

The_AK 07-13-2010 12:27 PM

Or,

think of it as a Deathstar, in every Deathstar there is one weak point in which you can attack and the entire structure will fall apart. You must find this very location in the wasps nest and attack.

Option 1 - put a bucket of water under it, knock it down, watch wasps fly under water
Option 2 - paintball gun + pepper filled rounds + target practice
Option 3 - become a wasp breeder
Option 4 - carefully relocate one nest into your neighbors trunk and the other in the mail box

works really well and it only costs $5 - $10.

give this a try first.

It has a shooting rang off ~ 10 meters.
