Sure-Fire Non-Chemical Wasp Control

- Wasps are a common problem in the yardscape or outdoor dining areas. During the warm months, they can become quite aggressive and quickly ruin a nice event!
While it’s impossible to entirely eliminate wasps, you can really fight back and lessen their numbers to the point that very few show up to spoil your party! In this episode, you’ll learn what the wasp is after in the early spring versus what they are hungry for later in the summer and how you can use that knowledge to wage battle successfully with them!
The best news is that you can use one of the most common household substances available - without buying pesticides to do the job. We’ve used this approach to “take out” hundreds of wasps at a time, close up, without protection to do the job. Our method coats their bodies and does not allow them to respirate, “dropping” them very quickly. While oily substances can be used to accomplish this, we think you’ll agree this approach is cleaner and much more environmentally friendly!
Please note these TWO viewer warnings:
1.) Several wasps WERE harmed in the production of this video.
2.) If you are highly allergic to bee, wasp or other insect venoms, exercise caution. While we have never suffered any stings using this method, we can't guarantee you’ll have the same experience. Proceed at your own risk!

Good job Jay. Thank you
Great idea. Thanks.
A little late to the channel but started with the (edge trimmer on the table saw) hoping to see your updated on? So thank you for sharing that. I have been searching all over for a straight edge jig that doesn’t requires expensive hardware clamps you have to buy,and it’s amazing how much scrap plywood everyone has! My shop is 1/2 garage and a outside shed. Will I did make the jig but raised the blade up through the wood instead of adding the piece for the out feed. I mainly work on pallets most of my work is reclaimed wood making flags.So thank you for sharing, the wasps just start here in Oregon have to get the spray bottle out. 👍
so awesome thank you.
I've never heard of controlling wasps this way before. Thanks Jay, I'm going to give it a try!
Margie, let me know how it turns out for you! Best, DFJ
I found it unbelievable that those wasps didn't care that he was there that close. I don't know if I would try it but it's good to know that secret.
Larry, thanks for watching. The first time I did this several years back, I stood near the cluster of wasps as they were devouring a large cluster of grapes. I keep getting closer to see if any of the wasps got alarmed. They didn't - they were too busy engorging themselves and competing with all the others. Before they could react, I had coated them with the soap solution and down they went. So far, this has been my experience every time. Keepin' my fingers crossed! Best, DFJ
I’ve been doing this for years with the same results. It probably came from a Transcript article pre-RUclips written by Jay Cooper.
We were driving behind your truck in the state of Wyoming driving to rawlins, had to subscribe and leave you a message
Dylan, great to hear from you! That was a great adventure for us. We were returning from a Maker and Woodworking event at Woodsmith Magazine in Des Moines, IA. Met a lot a great people, including the TV show personalities of the WoodSmith Shop TV show. We are glad you are now part of our viewer family. We've got lots of great content coming out, so stay tuned. BTW, were you the family that was driving a light green metallic Ford Escape? If so, we remember you! Best Regards, DFJ
I do the same thing with a pump sprayer. I spray their nest in the evening.
This was interesting thank you, some are saying not to kill them because if you leave them alone they won’t sting. Not true, wasps are predatory unlike bees and will sting for no reason. If you piss one wasp off even by accident they release pheromones to the others to come help attack. Myself I’m deadly allergic and they are bad this year so they have to go. I like this idea so I don’t have to use chemicals around where birds go and wildlife. Now I don’t like anything to suffer so as soon as they are down I’ll end it quick so they don’t suffer. But anyway just wanted to say wasps do like to sting unprovoked.
excellent thanks for sharing have any recipes for pickled eggs
You're welcome, Phillip, but no recipe for pickled eggs! Sorry! Best, DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay thanks for ur reply
Well! Great way to rid the pests.
Yes indeed. No chemicals or danger to pets, All flying insects breathe through their skin. Once you have coated their skin with soapy water, they cannot breathe and die.
@@DirtFarmerJay I should have known that. Because using soap and water was the way I would take care of boxelder bugs. Work well for me. Cheap as well.
Wasps were a big problem this summer. I deterred waspers from rebuilding nests in my son's playhouse by hanging Kroger bags as fake nests. I did not find a solution to the yellow jackets. Hornets were another problem. We believe a huge nest is on a neighbor's property. I have family members with severe allergies to bees.
drac1026, they are persistent creatures, but don't give up. I had hornets in a rock crevice that took me all season last year to finally prevail over them. Best, DFJ
Great idea! I hate those pesky boogers!👍
They help to pollinate your crops and fruit trees, also help with insects.
Great info to know, will this work on yellow-jackets too?
John Stobbs - absolutely. Go for it! Best, DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay DID NOT WORK ON Y J. JUST PISSED THEM OFF. BS.
Does it work for yellow jackets?
Absolutely, roaches, different types of bees, hornets, and so forth. Best, DFJ
Despite their poor public image, wasps are incredibly important for the world’s economy and ecosystems. Without them, the planet would be pest-ridden to biblical proportions, with much reduced biodiversity. They are a natural asset of a world dominated by humans, providing us with free services that contribute to our economy, society and ecology.
I'll mail them to you.
The number of yellow jackets I'll kill from one nest adjacent to my patio is miniscule compared to the numbers of them in existence today. When yellow jackets get on the endangered species list (and they will due to planet negligence by humans) they won't be pests anymore. Just like Honey Bees, I'll see far fewer of them and there will be a worldwide effort to bring them back.
works on roaches as well.
Ronnie - thanks for the insight! Best, DFJ
What can you make at home to kill red ants? Or any kind of ants.
The common home-made treatment is a combination of sugar and boric acid. The idea is that the ants come to the sugar as a food source, and carry back boric acid as well to the nest where it kills them by damaging their nervous system and impeding their digestive system. There are varying degrees of success with this as ant's diet preferences change by type of ant. Some are more attracted to grease and proteins. There are several articles online about this and a simple search of "homemade ant bait" will give you lots to see. Best, DFJ
You're killing insects that can sometimes not sting you God made that if you don't mess with him they won't sting you
Wasps are predatory unlike bees and will sting for no reason.
Too much information about the subject, just keep it simple
Noted, Larry. Thanks for writing. Best, DFJ
