I wish you would have told the inexperienced that if they forget to let the pressure off the container that they could potentially get hurt. Especially in very hot weather.! Yep, found out the hard way.
He’s uploaded some videos since covid-19 on his second channel; ruclips.net/channel/UC2x_9320-h01gG33OAKGwQw . I think he is more likely to post on that channel too.
I just read your article and grabbed my sprayer and dawn to give it a try as wasps were behind my shutters . It was already evening so they were all in behind the shutters . I couldn't believe my eyes as I began to spray they were dropping on the ground like crazy . I counted about 40 as they had nests behind two of my shutters . Thanks for the tip
Couple of things I would recommend. 1) You don't need to douse them with the mix as much as shown here. The soapy water will suffocate them. Just give them a decent spray ensuring you hit them all. They will eventually fall off and die on the ground or die while clung to the nest. 2) I saw a couple of videos that recommended adding peppermint extract to the mix. Wasps apparently don't like that scent, so any wasps that return to the next will not want to stick around. 3) If you don't have a pump sprayer, get your self one of those super-soaker water rifles in the toy department. Works on the same principle and many models have 30ft or more reach so you can hit nests that are higher up on your house/building. I personally like having that extra bit of distance so I don't have to run if one of them buggers comes at me before I hit it with the mix. 4) After you've given the wasps a few minutes to die off, it's a good idea to knock down the nest so stragglers don't have a home to return to (esp if you don't have peppermint extract. Happy wasp hunting!
WORM GITTER there's a wasp in my kitchen and my lunch is ready it's near the sink should I use a toilet spray to stop it from flying then kill it with my shoe? because I don't have a insect spray please help.
Add a bit of peppermint oil to that mix - a teaspoon or so - and it'll help kill them a bit quicker, but more importantly, it'll discourage them coming back. They don't like peppermint oil!
@@rosyv51210 Yes, it'll kill pretty much whatever you spray it on. I wouldn't want to use it on something like yellow jackets just because there's LOTS of them and it takes some time, or bigger like a cicada killer, but honey bees, yes. I use it on fire ants, too.
Duke, I love this technique and I've used it myself. Soap acts as surfactant which makes water "wetter" and it can penetrate the skin (shell) of the wasps. It may not kill the wasps as fast as that expensive can of spray, but it works! And there are no environmental worries! I love it! Thanks for sharing your technique my friend!
Yea I just learned an old trick! Thanks for visiting and we will see you Sunday! You and Ms. Lulu have a great weekend! Just curious, have you ever asked her to stay at the delapidated doublewide instead of a motel?
Not in such direct words, Duke! LOL! I've lured her in past episodes to stay all night with a triple feature of extra-long movies, endless monopoly games, and bluegill gyros for breakfast! LOL! But the drama has to go on. The scriptwriters insist!
Decided to post this out front..... My wife wanted me to fix the fence mow the lawn clean up doggy poopooo then prune all the landscape, change the oil in all 4 vehicles and take the trash out. I was so looking forward to it... And these things wouldn't let me...Held Hostage!!!! But then she found this video.... THANK GOD!!!! Now I get to do all the stuff these little fuckers were keeping me from!!! KUDOS on a great video....
Yes I just tried it and it worked very slowly so to add to the toxicity I put some bleach in it and bam dropping like rain drops!! Some are very stubborn but they get got in the end too!! I used a spray bottle with the strong stream! Thank you for the tip
When you tested the sprayer you filled the pickup tub and hose with plain water.... The first water you sprayed on the wasps had no soap in it. This does work best with soft water, or rain water. Love your attitude! Glad you protected that junk... er I mean.... ANTIQUE!!!
Well it definitely works! Thank you! I have had a problem for years and just knocking down the nest doesn’t work. This did and better than any wasp hornet killers I have purchased.
I add more soap to my mixture (1/2 cup to 2 gallon pump sprayer), shake it up good and they drop like flies. I use regular Dawn dish detergent. Cheaper than Wasp Sprays and better for the environment.
Watched this video. I'd never heard about using soap and water to kill wasps until yesterday. I "had" two large wasp nests with about 50+ wasps on the nests inside my chicken house. I didn't want to use chemicals because I'd rather not if I don't have to and I didn't want to subject my chickens to anything that might be poisonous to them. Last night I readied my concoction of ½ gal of water and a couple of squirts of dawn liquid soap in a small gallon sprayer I have. This morning it was 48deg, perfect temp. I knew they would all be on the nests and wouldn't be flying around trying to sting me when I irritated them with the spray. I sprayed them both and within 10 seconds, all of them but 1 or 2 had dropped from the nests and every single one was DOA within the next 2 minutes. This is in fact the fastest and best way to kill wasps that I have ever seen and now used myself. This is also great for using as insecticide in the garden. Wont harm the plants but kills all the insects. I'll likely never buy wasps spray again
I didn't know about this till a friend replied on YT...Love it when we save money and learn a better way...Thanks for sharing your experience and taking the time to comment Ron
'51 Chevy p/u ? Sweet , I love the big grills they came with . Funny thing my younger brother came over today asking if I had any wasp spray , said he's got a bunch of wasps to get rid of .I handed him a bottle of Palmolive lol :)
Great post, ill remember this next time, i freaking hate all wasps with a passion, hated yellow jackets growing up, ( as that was the only type id been stung by) and just this summer there was a small red wasp nest hidden on the outside handrail of our porch (you would have to bend over the rail to see it or be in the yard looking at it) couldnt see it standing on the porch and we are all adults so noone climbing all over the porch, lol) well waiting for someone to unlock the door put my hand on that rail and was to close to it i guess and bang- got nailed with a sting on my right hand, killed the nest with extreme prejudice, and raid. now i hate red wasps too, so just delared war on all types, if i see a wasp it dies, 👍
Thnx for this video. Nice to SEE that this actually works. I've been battling yellow jackets all summer and the Lil buggers seem immune to store bought pesticides.
Great tip. I googled because a wasp just flew by. I followed to find the nest. It is in eye shot of my bedrms window and patio door. Gona pop my screen out and spray the nest w this solution. Huge Mahalo from kauai
The Palmolive dish washing liquid, and water really works!! They was dropping like flies dead! I also sprayed some peppermint essential oil in my attic so they will not comeback.. I read somewhere that Wasps don't like the smell of pepppermint! lol
Good spray method. I do the same. Don't like using pesticides because then I can't go into my shed. I also got some good size plastic racquets and I carry one to swat them with as they are flying if they come after me or land where I can smash them. Also your ball cap works in a pinch.
Won't work on yellow jackets. We have them in decorative brick facing on our house. Tried peppermint soap water, chemicals knocked down a few, rest shrugged it off (Raid, Ortho, Spectracide, Brake Parts Cleaner, Carburetor spray) and currently a cat food water trap (caught one in an hour). Next up, shop vac w/6" of soapy water in the bottom, Sevrin powder in the holes or professional spray.
Brother that is a good tip for people we have used it for years. what it does it puts a coating on there wings and they are not able to fly so they die. its very safe around people and animals.
Sure would like to have that 51 GMC or Chevrolet truck. I got a a 52 that came with a new grill and all new emblems , door handles n such. The new parts were stolen and the grill in it was wrecked. The rest of the truck is extremely solid including the wood in the bed with a perfect tailgate.
Duke, love the videos, except this one. Been stung a lot in my life. Last year got stung by a bald face, that triggered a heart attack. Had to have emergency quintuple bypass surgery. You understand why I would be a little nervous. 😝Keep up the good work, God bless.
Uncle Jesse taught me something. I got a whole case of some kind of professional wasp n hornet killer. It smelled like gasoline or kerosene mix but only pissed them off. It made a good fire starter for lighting brush.
i tried this with some kind of dirt wasp and it worked, i believe there is somethig in the dish detergent that surrounds the area where they breathe (like seran wrap) and they suffocate, it's a little slower than say CB80, but much cheaper , i also saw that starter fluid puts them to sleep, and then you can just stomp the bastards and not wory about them coming back at you, starter fluid is mostly ether, and i've gotten a big wiff of it a few times and it made me very light headed, and i paint cars, so to do that it takes some doin', lol
YESSSS SIR, dishwashing liquid mixed with water knocks em right out the sky. Idk why it works so good but it does. If you dont have any dishwashing liquid handy, brake cleaner in the spray can works good too. A Co-worker of mine raises Honey Bees on the side and he shared this trick with me. Great Video. GOD BLESS
Hey duke I wanted to point out something about wasps that you may not know but for some reason they don't like to fly at night. I don't know why. Maybe its humidity, maybe they cant see, but they will not move when it's dark which makes them easy targets. Also I can't help but comment on the irony of your name "worm gitter" because of the solution you have mixed up in that spray rig. Are you aware of the fact that that same exact mix you have there can be used for drawing worms out of the ground? For years that's been our main go-to method for bait. Just spray the ground and sit back and wait a few minutes and they will come up kicking and screaming.
I know bout the things you mention....I heard that wasps if disturbed will attack a light but never witnessed it.....as for the solution fer getting up worms, it is of no use to me because worms usually die after a few days when they come into contact with detergent and walnut solutions....I like to return the worms I don't use for fishing to my garden bed
You could also come at them at night if you know where the nest is, then you just hold a bag under the nest and then cut the nest down into the bag an close it since all the wasps are at the nest at night you will get all of them at once.
Thank you, WORM GITTER. I will do the same to kill a nest between the soffit and fascia of our shed. Thanks for posting your video. I enjoyed watching, and learned something. God Bless all your family.
Worked like a charm. My house always had nests in and around the eaves of the roof but I just recently got stung two days in a row... on the same backside of my hand an inch apart. Turns out they made a nest under an electric box that was about hand level. I sure got my revenge though and took out most of the nests I could reach.
Wow Thank you for this demonstration! I've been getting harassed by a huge wasp on the front porch 😨 I will do this ASAP so I can enjoy my coffee peacefully. 🙏💜
Just make sure the nest isn’t close by. He’ll send out danger pheromones as he does and the others will show up to investigate and attack. These things are from hell.
Thats good never thought dish soap would kill them.I have took a stick and wraped an old sock or some junk cloth onto the end with wire put gasoline on the cloth light it and hold it under the nest they drop fast.Also I used spray paint it knocks them down too.
Never mind! After two hours all of them started to move so I guess they were only stunned for a while. The spray still knocked them down for a while. I would suggest squashing them once they are down or they'll get back up over time.
Great Video, I have used dish soap on the occasional wasp in the house and watch them drop. Would suggest doing it at night when they are dormant. You sir are a brave man :)!
In case Duke hasn't mentioned rain water, well water might be too hard for soap to lather. What would be really great in the case your having to buy soap anyway would be the soap in the toy section at WalMart for blowing bubbles. The stuff is really sticky whether or not you have to add water which probably you should where I should have been more familiar with reading the labeled instructions on the 1 gallon jug before mentioning in comment about it. Thanks!
WORM GITTER I don't doubt that the lady's homemade soap is effective also, I linked to the video, and I like it. The fact that it's homemade. and easy to do makes her stuff the one to go to. Good job, Duke, you're really great with bring to us what you do!
It's the end of June and we have gigantic killer wasps camping out on our front door. I have Talstar Pro but I feel like I need to burn the whole house down instead. They stung me twice yesterday.
I like your methods, you don't always have to pay lots of money to get results. I sure would like to get a look at that old blue truck. It is exactly like my grandpappy's looked like and it brings back some great memories. If you are ever going to sell it, let me know, I'll be there in an hour!! Best wishes.
Just killed a huge nest of yellow jackets! Amazingly the soapy water is a miracle! Just keep spraying they may come at you but just keep giving them hell! Do this at night when they are all in the nest and sleepy!
Thanks for sharing this . You're right it is safer for the environment . My guess is that the soap plugs up the wasps breathing holes (spiracles) and they suffocate . Oh is that jun.... I mean blue "antique "p/u under the shed a Willys ? I had a '55 Willys I restored but gave it to my youngest son because he always admired it and I was having back problems , told him it stays in the family . God Bless !
I think you are looking at a 51 chevy p/u.I bet your son loves that Willys! I was happy with the way the spray worked! Thanks for commenting Steve and we will see you later!
Thanks for the video didn't know that soap and water would kill wasps, I've hated wasps since I was a small child when them bastards stung me when I was swinging on my swing set I love killing wasps I usually use raid wasp& hornet killer but your method may save a little money thanks
That was amazing. The wasps are so bad here that I am making traps right now. Inside my shed door there are 3 nests and one is huge. U might be trying that spray too.
I find killer wasp and catch it . I put it I. Jar yesterday 11:00am to today 4:00pm it killed. Big wasp with red eyes and black,yellow butt black with white size 3".
A couple of pointers. Use about three times that amount of dishwashing soap and before you start spraying them you should’ve sprayed it to the ground first to bleed off water so the soap hits them right off the bat. If that was a bigger nest you’re going to need to kill them faster than what you did.I’ve done what you did years ago and it works great but do my recommendation though please. Ps works on bees also if you can’t remove them.
This man reminds me of my old paw paw. One time, this swarm of wasps was chasing my brother clear from our pasture and into the back yard. That salty old man picked up this can full of old gas that sat too long to be any good for fuel, unscrewed the lid, then perfectly threw a bit of gasoline straight into that swarm as my poor brother ran by. The wasps dropped instantly, never to rise again. Problem is, I can't exactly throw gasoline on the eves of my house Haha. I'll have to try this instead.
great video and great tips in the comments, too! i have a few nests in an upstairs window frame i'm dealing with right now. don't have a ladder so i've been opening the window a bit, and spraying and slamming the window - "attack and run." i'm making progress, but in two days i haven't killed all of them yet since i can only get a few at a time. i read online yesterday that i can just spray them until they're dead because they won't associate me with the spray. in this video they don't come after you. anyone have any tips on whether the wasps know i'm the one spraying them? haha. these are paper wasps, so not too aggressive, but trying to not get stung, or just completely spaz out if they come after me! Thank you!
I wish you would have told the inexperienced that if they forget to let the pressure off the container that they could potentially get hurt. Especially in very hot weather.! Yep, found out the hard way.
good point ronnette!
ronnette harvey warmth in an airtight container builds pressure.... i learned this in gradeschool.
WORM GITTER maybe a stronger mixture be best 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝💢👌🐺🐾
really i thought we all knew how pressure works in the applied sciences
The box ought to be the one to tell you that, along with common sense
We need this man now more than ever
For real
He’s uploaded some videos since covid-19 on his second channel; ruclips.net/channel/UC2x_9320-h01gG33OAKGwQw . I think he is more likely to post on that channel too.
This man is my hero, Where would be without him?
ngl when I clicked on this video I expected this guy to pull out a shotgun and just let rip on any wasp in his way
I let er rip alright!
Me too!! 😂
If you see a wasp big enough to need a shotgun, you should be looking at it over your shoulder.
WORM GITTER did they ever come back?? thanks in advance
Ikr! Git that sommonabitch...😂
I just read your article and grabbed my sprayer and dawn to give it a try as wasps were behind my shutters . It was already evening so they were all in behind the shutters . I couldn't believe my eyes as I began to spray they were dropping on the ground like crazy . I counted about 40 as they had nests behind two of my shutters . Thanks for the tip
Couple of things I would recommend.
1) You don't need to douse them with the mix as much as shown here. The soapy water will suffocate them. Just give them a decent spray ensuring you hit them all. They will eventually fall off and die on the ground or die while clung to the nest.
2) I saw a couple of videos that recommended adding peppermint extract to the mix. Wasps apparently don't like that scent, so any wasps that return to the next will not want to stick around.
3) If you don't have a pump sprayer, get your self one of those super-soaker water rifles in the toy department. Works on the same principle and many models have 30ft or more reach so you can hit nests that are higher up on your house/building. I personally like having that extra bit of distance so I don't have to run if one of them buggers comes at me before I hit it with the mix.
4) After you've given the wasps a few minutes to die off, it's a good idea to knock down the nest so stragglers don't have a home to return to (esp if you don't have peppermint extract.
Happy wasp hunting!
That beard.... Is GLORIOUS!

Your just mad you can't grow one ;)
Me too....its why they call me patches? LoL
It is it's pretty silver!
LOL "...my junk cars...I mean antiques..."
They're both!
WORM GITTER there's a wasp in my kitchen and my lunch is ready it's near the sink should I use a toilet spray to stop it from flying then kill it with my shoe? because I don't have a insect spray please help.
Amazing lol - just like my Grandpa haha
Those cars could use some soap and water
Dangerous method they don't die fast enough try break cleaner next time it kills them right away
Add a bit of peppermint oil to that mix - a teaspoon or so - and it'll help kill them a bit quicker, but more importantly, it'll discourage them coming back. They don't like peppermint oil!
Thanks for the tip Teresa....
Thanks Teresa that definitely worked for me. 😊
@@mzchaklette will it hurt normal bees?
Peppermint doesn't work its the soap that suffocates.
@@rosyv51210 Yes, it'll kill pretty much whatever you spray it on. I wouldn't want to use it on something like yellow jackets just because there's LOTS of them and it takes some time, or bigger like a cicada killer, but honey bees, yes. I use it on fire ants, too.
Duke, I love this technique and I've used it myself. Soap acts as surfactant which makes water "wetter" and it can penetrate the skin (shell) of the wasps. It may not kill the wasps as fast as that expensive can of spray, but it works! And there are no environmental worries! I love it! Thanks for sharing your technique my friend!
Yea I just learned an old trick! Thanks for visiting and we will see you Sunday! You and Ms. Lulu have a great weekend! Just curious, have you ever asked her to stay at the delapidated doublewide instead of a motel?

it worked! i used water and some cheap automatic dishwashing gel for the dollar store and you saved me $10 on a fogger thanks WORM GITTER
Hey that's what we are screamin!
you’re the cutest thing ever!! Thank you for the idea sir!! I just sprayed a whole hellava lot of wasps dead!! Be gone wasp!
Uncle Jessie is right this works great, cost less and non toxic.
Appreciate ye Luke!
Love it brother thanks for the tip. This is much better than having to breathe wasp killer when it's windy!
yea you don't have to breath it or buy it! Thanks for watching and commenting J!

you're probably right...I may have not gave it a few squirts beforehand...got to love those "antiques" Thanks!
You can't get much more 80's than Cheap Trick and Wasp..
Did the trick. I used a pressure washer with a foam cannon with a heavy dishsoap and water solution. The body count was piling
This totally works awesome!!!! Just tried it and it kills wasps as fast as any sprays you can buy. Super cheap life hack that works
Well it definitely works! Thank you! I have had a problem for years and just knocking down the nest doesn’t work. This did and better than any wasp hornet killers I have purchased.

Totally just did this to 2 wasps on my window with a small spray bottle. Did water, dish soap and added peppermint oil. They dropped instantly👍🏻
great!
works great!!!! i used some peppermint oil in it also
I heard that is a good idea....
Pro tip! get them at night. they won't fly off the nest and they are all present and in low activity mode.
Thanks for the tip! I heard they come to the light if disturbed at night, but don't know that to be true...
exactly they are diernal
kimberly payne that has helped me out to much, I’m 13 and I have to spray them all the time it helps soooo much
Holy Smokes those are big wasps!! Great tip, I am going to try this on those darn yellow jacket nests.
be careful!
I need to know did it work on the yellow jackets? And how many times did you get stung.
I recommend using a sting proof suit
Craig Arndt Best to do yellow jackets and ground wasp at night.
Won't work on yellow jackets. We have them in decorative brick facing on our house.

I got stung 5 times today. I want to know where can I purchase one of those sprayers. I am definitely trying this, thanks a million!

If you can get a hold of some peppermint oil throw that in there because they just love that heat in the eves to get em through a cold cycle.

Wait, are you saying that all we need to use to get worms to come out of the mud is to soak the ground with dishwashing soap mixed with water??
Make sure the dish soap says degreaser any brand will due
Use straight simple green. That stuff works! They drop like a rock!
Thanks....would like to see em drop faster!
you need to do a tv show. Love your accent and low key attitude.
I couldn't handle the fame!
You could also come at them at night if you know where the nest is, then you just hold a bag under the nest and then cut the nest down into the bag an close it since all the wasps are at the nest at night you will get all of them at once.

Thank you, WORM GITTER. I will do the same to kill a nest between the soffit and fascia of our shed. Thanks for posting your video. I enjoyed watching, and learned something. God Bless all your family.
All my family, Thank You SUSA...
Worked like a charm. My house always had nests in and around the eaves of the roof but I just recently got stung two days in a row... on the same backside of my hand an inch apart. Turns out they made a nest under an electric box that was about hand level. I sure got my revenge though and took out most of the nests I could reach.
kill those suckers!
Wow Thank you for this demonstration! I've been getting harassed by a huge wasp on the front porch 😨 I will do this ASAP so I can enjoy my coffee peacefully. 🙏💜
Just make sure the nest isn’t close by. He’ll send out danger pheromones as he does and the others will show up to investigate and attack. These things are from hell.
*as he dies
Love your old cars and trucks..
Thanks Joe...I will be pullin em out and workin on em after I finish the cabin

Oh cool, I hope you feature their progress on your Channel...
Thanks for yer interest
Thats good never thought dish soap would kill them.I have took a stick and wraped an old sock or some junk cloth onto the end with wire put gasoline on the cloth light it and hold it under the nest they drop fast.Also I used spray paint it knocks them down too.
I have used it killing yellow jackets too...I like it, be careful killing them overhead...Thanks for commenting
Your welcome be carefull too
Good demonstration. You remind me of “uncle Jesse” from the original “Dukes of Hazard.”
I've heard that before!
It helps to add some ammonia to the soap and water. kerosene works too. I have heard that it is the main ingredient in hornet spray.
Yeppers and it works on all kinds of bugs, the soap takes off the oily coat off and the water drowns them
Ur awesome 👌 ty I have that sprayer and was thinking of using it. Can't believe they didn't come after u!!
Hope this works! I have a trauma about wasps and yellow jackets, but i LOOOOOOVE seing them dead. Thank you very much!!!
go get em Mr. Swamzi!!!!!!
WORM GITTER Be sure I will! These bugs must DIIIIIEEEE!!
Never mind! After two hours all of them started to move so I guess they were only stunned for a while. The spray still knocked them down for a while. I would suggest squashing them once they are down or they'll get back up over time.
Its funny how he quickly correct himself from junk cars to antique .😂😂😂😂😂LOL😂😂😂
Great Video, I have used dish soap on the occasional wasp in the house and watch them drop. Would suggest doing it at night when they are dormant. You sir are a brave man :)!
I heard they will come to a light but not sure...the temps were still cool enough to slow them down...Thanks for commenting buddy
Worked for me too! It's best for the environment to use a biodegradable soap.
Great job Papa, I'mma do it this evening!
Thanks Sheri
In case Duke hasn't mentioned rain water, well water might be too hard for soap to lather. What would be really great in the case your having to buy soap anyway would be the soap in the toy section at WalMart for blowing bubbles. The stuff is really sticky whether or not you have to add water which probably you should where I should have been more familiar with reading the labeled instructions on the 1 gallon jug before mentioning in comment about it. Thanks!
rainwater may work better William! Not sure about bubble soap....
Do they breathe through their legs like Crickets? If so, the bubble soap really would be effective in suffocating them.
I am not sure....
WORM GITTER I don't doubt that the lady's homemade soap is effective also, I linked to the video, and I like it. The fact that it's homemade. and easy to do makes her stuff the one to go to.
Good job, Duke, you're really great with bring to us what you do!
Hey Thanks William! Appreciate your compliment!
It's the end of June and we have gigantic killer wasps camping out on our front door.
I have Talstar Pro but I feel like I need to burn the whole house down instead. They stung me twice yesterday.
You sir got a wasp-killer beard.
be killin some wasps!
I did this right after seeing this video; worked like a charm!
I'd use organic soap with white vinegar and water (spray at night). I added peppermint oil to my spray mix.
Make a video about your antiques.... Your trucks have many stories to tell.
I like your methods, you don't always have to pay lots of money to get results. I sure would like to get a look at that old blue truck. It is exactly like my grandpappy's looked like and it brings back some great memories. If you are ever going to sell it, let me know, I'll be there in an hour!! Best wishes.
If I sell them I'll do a video first!
Just killed a huge nest of yellow jackets! Amazingly the soapy water is a miracle! Just keep spraying they may come at you but just keep giving them hell! Do this at night when they are all in the nest and sleepy!
You are my new hero. I just found your videos. I am very intrigued on all that you do.
Hardly hero status but....Welcome!
Thanks for sharing this . You're right it is safer for the environment . My guess is that the soap plugs up the wasps breathing holes (spiracles) and they suffocate . Oh is that jun.... I mean blue "antique "p/u under the shed a Willys ? I had a '55 Willys I restored but gave it to my youngest son because he always admired it and I was having back problems , told him it stays in the family . God Bless !
I think you are looking at a 51 chevy p/u.I bet your son loves that Willys! I was happy with the way the spray worked! Thanks for commenting Steve and we will see you later!
love it, low cost, safe for humans, and it works. Great tip ,
and works is right Bob! Thanks for the visit!
Great tip I used it this Morning.
I'm pretty desperate, and going to try this. The excessive amount of wasps in west Tennessee keeps everyone inside in the summer.
yea we have to keep them under contro lhere too. Thanks for watching and commenting....
Uncle Duke as in from dukes of hazzard?
we have two nest we saw the other day, figure we will try ur suggestion out today though we will wait till just before sunset
Thanks for the video didn't know that soap and water would kill wasps, I've hated wasps since I was a small child when them bastards stung me when I was swinging on my swing set I love killing wasps I usually use raid wasp& hornet killer but your method may save a little money thanks
Thank you!
Is this just me or are these f’in huge?! In from Alaska and these look enormous.
they get big this time of year
"I may have drowned a few" hahah
That was amazing. The wasps are so bad here that I am making traps right now. Inside my shed door there are 3 nests and one is huge. U might be trying that spray too.
Hey Madison! You are making traps? I have never used a trap so would like to see one! Watch out cause they are active when its hot!
I hope to post it soon :-)
That was so satisfying, seeing you get them (bad word.) They are terrorizing my balcony right now. I'm gonna get em. 😼
Thanks fer not callin em a dirty name!
@@WORMGITTER Lol, grandma's in heaven watching me...😘
I hate those things, and they build nests anywhere you haven't messed with something for a couple of days. Good tip!
Thank you have to try on nest on bedroom window
Thank you for that great information, I have grandkids and I have lots of wasp around my house.
you are Welcome and Thanks for commenting
Nice to see you have work besides Christmas time. :)
yea, I can't make it working one day a year...
I find killer wasp and catch it .
I put it I. Jar yesterday 11:00am to today 4:00pm it killed. Big wasp with red eyes and black,yellow butt black with white size 3".
I appreciate the help Mr. Duke 👍
You are Welcome!
Also 90% alcohol
Maybe a little more soap would speed the process of killing? Great job! I'm totally using this method!
I think so. There wasn't much at all used.
A couple of pointers. Use about three times that amount of dishwashing soap and before you start spraying them you should’ve sprayed it to the ground first to bleed off water so the soap hits them right off the bat. If that was a bigger nest you’re going to need to kill them faster than what you did.I’ve done what you did years ago and it works great but do my recommendation though please. Ps works on bees also if you can’t remove them.
Good points friend….Thank You
Hey duke! Thanks! I'm gonna try this : ) hope you guys have a wonderful day 😊
Hi Ellen! Be sure it is pumped up good and a clear path for a get-away! Having a wonderful day and you have a great week end!
I just went through the summer, using cans and cans of wasp spray. Just found out about this Sept. 9, 2019
Better late then never
This man reminds me of my old paw paw. One time, this swarm of wasps was chasing my brother clear from our pasture and into the back yard. That salty old man picked up this can full of old gas that sat too long to be any good for fuel, unscrewed the lid, then perfectly threw a bit of gasoline straight into that swarm as my poor brother ran by. The wasps dropped instantly, never to rise again. Problem is, I can't exactly throw gasoline on the eves of my house Haha. I'll have to try this instead.
Does it keep them from coming back?? I need something that will keep them from rebuilding!
Dem Duke boys couldn't have done better
:)
great video and great tips in the comments, too! i have a few nests in an upstairs window frame i'm dealing with right now. don't have a ladder so i've been opening the window a bit, and spraying and slamming the window - "attack and run." i'm making progress, but in two days i haven't killed all of them yet since i can only get a few at a time. i read online yesterday that i can just spray them until they're dead because they won't associate me with the spray. in this video they don't come after you. anyone have any tips on whether the wasps know i'm the one spraying them? haha. these are paper wasps, so not too aggressive, but trying to not get stung, or just completely spaz out if they come after me! Thank you!
Good luck to you buddy!
