Ohhhh my fluff, I'm a 71 year old widow and I never knew this 😮. Thanks for the information. You could even use this inside the home, no toxic chemicals, wipe it up and you have a clean spot 👍 God bless you and your family 👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
@mariacompton1416 I would certainly try it. When I purchased my home there was a nest in the wall of the south facing side of the house. They would gain access to the interior via the unfinished part of the utility room. My first night in the house was horrendous. The exterminator was expensive . We found their entry point and caulked along the area where the wood trim met the brick. I still watch that are closely after 23 years.
A older gentleman from Rocky Mount, NC told me that soap and water will kill all insects. He said there is no need for harsh chemicals. I am always dealing with something around my home.
I know that a guy that's a plant expert said if you have an aphid problem, mix soap and water just like on this video and spray your plants with it. But in that case, I think you want to use something that won't hit your plants that hard so a watering can would be better than shooting it from a soap bottle.
It's your job Daddy to protect those children, and may I say It looks like you're doing a good job of it. Gotta do what you gotta do. Love your videos.Thank you for that great information.
I like your philosophy of not killing the wasps that don’t threaten you or are too close and can harm you as you go about your day. I like you show us a simple inexpensive environmentally sound way to do it. I’m adopting this idea this summer!
I have a forest issue where the trees and bushes harbor many bird species, and they eat 90% of my insect issues. It is just one of those properties and my style of Urban Forestry. My Major in college was Geology and Environmental Science perspectives. The EPA got back on the turnip truck. They never did a very good job. They are just more Paycheck PIGS, POLICING @ U.S.S.A. dot Gov.
Thank you my dear! I have wasps in most of my bushes, corners of my home and in light fixtures. I have been stung, twice and it hurt for the whole day! Been using the expensive wasp killer and now you are saving this old lady some money.......that is important! Thank you again!!!!❤
Plan to try this the next time a nest is made under an eave or garage. I never knew this trick. Certainly is a cheaper way to get the job done. Thanks for sharing.
Wasps try to make nests on my back porch so I’m glad to learn of this method as opposed to the toxic chemicals since I have pets and grand children. Thanks for this very useful information.
This kills aphids too. They used to infest one of my mom’s trees leaves. Not only did it work, but I soaked the ground around the tree and the next year-no aphids!
Wait till after dark when they all in the nest and then saturate that sucker. Your channel just popped up and I’m loving it! Your sister in Christ near Nashville, Tennessee yall lol😉
Same here. Found you by accident and I'm loving your channel. ❤ May I add one suggestion I found that works well? Wait until about half an hour before first light in the morning and saturate the nest quickly. The reason being, in the evening they are fully awake and can still attack with a vengeance. Just before daylight they're all asleep. (Get a good flashlight.) You gotta get them while they are too sleepy to react. Boom. They're all dead. From your sister in Christ in Washington.
If you don't remove the nest before the babies are born, they will keep coming back because that is their birth place, and that is the only place they know. So always remove the nest asap.
@@daniellegreeng279I feel like you need to not only remove the nest but also any residue left from the nest or they will just come back and build another one!😮
I just had a massive hornets nest on my house and I called the Professional People! Hornets and Wasps continue to sting and you will hurt and itch from the wasps but Hornets will swell and they keep coming! They are Dangerous! They said you must remove the nest because the workers come back from a hard days work and will land where the nest was... But, he sprayed all around my house so when they land, the spray gets on them and kills them. He also said they won't rebuild in the same spot. Plus even with spray no matter what kind of spray, they are very much alive inside those layers! PLEASE BE SAFE! I'm a senior and can't run and having several people told me Heck No, I panicked and called them out. I'm gonna try to post a picture but that nest was 1/2 the size of Me! Yikes 😬 😮
We use this method using a sprayer. Some times the wasps just won't die. They may be carrying umbrellas now to protect themselves. That must be the reason.
I found a nest and thought i needed to go get some wasp spray and then my husband( who grew up on a farm) told me this and i said your nuts and proceeded to do what u just did and they all dropped down just like in your video. I never kill wasps or bees if they are doing there thing but this nest was right by a door so i had no choice. Good information!
This method always works. Learned from RUclips. Sprayed on gutter area near driveway with many wasps only 1 time over 5-6 years ago they have never came back to that area Great demo job
Thank you. Just poked a wasps nest. I don’t run as fast as I used to.😝 They got me. I definitely will use this method. Some are still hanging around on porch and they are still ticked off at me. I am like you I don’t think we should kill them if they are not bothering anyone. Those stings are painful and take a while to heal.
I read you start soak the nest first with the soapy water (Dawn and water) and have a helper with a construction weight trash bag. You detach the nest and let it fall into the bag. Never had to do this myself.
Good morning I have used soap water on flys and black 🐜 ants when they get in the house some time I put a little pepper mint oil in it works very good.
A pump or dial end hose sprayer works well to cover a large nest, or aphids on a fruit tree. Just remember to spray down the tree with plain water a hour or two later. You don’t want to leave dish soap residue on the tree.
I actually found a wasp that was inside the front door on the floor. I mixed the water and soap in a cup and poured it over it. This works like magic! Thank you so much. Love Grow Family Network!
Bruh Thanks so much I had these wasps acting a fool . Chileee every dollar counts getting my bottle ready right now. Love you guys what a beautiful family. Peace
This is so timely, we just found two large nests in the eaves of our front porch and I do not use chemicals on my land at all. I always use natural methods but did not know what to use for wasps. These are large nests so was afraid I was going to have to use chemicals which I hate. Thank you so much for this video!!! I can stay chemical-free!!
What a timely video. I was staining my fence yesterday and got chased away by wasps. I don't mind them living there since they are at the back of the yard....but I need to finish the stain.
Agree 100% . I MIGHT get rid of nests on my porch near the door, but they are an asset to my garden anywhere else. They’ve taken out many a horn worm on my tomatoes. Thanks for the tip on taking them out when you need to. I am no fan of insecticide sprays.
Thank you so much for sharing this tip for ridding an area of pesky wasps. We used to have this problem at our last house and would have loved to know this trick then. Anyway, this is very valuable info especially for families with a person who has allergies to bee and wasp stings-like my husband. Your video could save a life. Thanks again.
It worked instantly, thank you so much! Had a wasp refusing to leave my bathroom ceiling and I could reach it, but watered down washing up liquid in a bottle did the trick right away!
Thank you for posting this. I do not use the toxic chemicals in my yard or home and this is a great way to keep down the wasp invasions we get in the country.
Wasps are great at eating harmful insects in the garden especially caterpillars. They're not aggressive when they're busy eating either. If they're making nests on your property, it's a different story. They can get very overprotective of their home and become very dangerous so do what you gotta do but otherwise appreciate them.
We have them building nests under our front and back porches. I shooed one who wouldn’t leave me alone away one day and it attacked and stung me!! Since they were near our front and back doors, we’ve had to treat and spray regularly to either kill off the colony or encourage them to move elsewhere!! The worst was when they started to head under the eave in front…Lord forgive me but I don’t want them in my home - don’t care how many bad bugs they eat!!🤷🏻♀️ We live very rural - plenty of other space for the wasps to nest!!
Yes I use this method with flies as well. That slows them down so I can grab them with a paper towel. Sometimes I just go all out and spray them with bleach spray Clorox bleach spray that kills them instantly.
Dish soap is an oil-like substance that coats the bugs and suffocates them quickly ! Surfactants added to the soap helps the soaps combine with water easily. A spray bottle can help spread the soap mixture widely to kill all sorts of insects.
Great idea. I've had problems with wasps under my patio cover. After spraying one nest I got stung when a wasp fell on my bicep. It hurt for days. It's always good to try natural remedies instead of chemicals. I use cornmeal or grits on ant beds.
@GrowFamilyNetwork Maybe I got that idea from you. I read different ideas on killing ants. I bought grits and a bag of cornmeal. I checked two ant beds this morning, and it seems to be working.
It worked just tried it in my herb garden! Thank you for sharing. I hate using chemicals and try not to if I can help it. God bless you! First time I saw your channel! Stay safe!
Wow. How cool. My grandma used to do the same thing rinsing out the bottle to use every last drop. Thank you for this great idea. I'm using it right away !😊
Thank you for sharing and also for caring about the ones not bothering us. I think I have to do this to the vent that goes from my washroom and out on my balcony. I was out there vacuuming the cob webbs off of the vent yesterday evening & every time I started there was a wasp that came out of no where trying to get in the vent. It's like it has already set up a home in there? Things always try to live on my balcony because I have so many plants and other lovely things out there. Pigeons tried to make a nest (mess) a couple of winters ago. Wasps is a new one though. But I have tried to balance my home energetically like from an orgone energy point of view. And I take this as a sign & a compliment that they eould choose my vent to wanna make a nest, but in the words of Honey Brown: "Ain't no BodEE got time for that!"
Yesterday, a wasp got in my shirt and stung me in front of my right shoulder. I saw him again today, I have been told, wasp never forget a face😮¿ thank you for this Chem free, inexpensive defense or offense. God bless all
This will be so helpful. Already have several wasp nests I have found in my yard and on my house just in the last week. They are so easily agitated as well, so I'll give this a try. Thank you for sharing.
Been using that for years,truly works, for yellow jackets add 30 drops of clove oil for the inground ones, it does something to their pheromones and they dont seem to be able to signal anything to each other, thats just my guess...
If you have it around, another thing that works instantly is hair spray, especially if you don't have the detergent mix ready to go and you've got a wasp in the house. The hair spray will bring them right down out of the air. The hair spray also prevents wings from working. Both the detergent and the hair spray work exactly the same way to kill insects. Insects can't "breathe" when their pores are clogged up. The only problem is that the spray of either must hit the bug directly. If they just walk through it, it won't harm them.
I’m so glad I came across your video! Every year I feel like there’s a war between the wasps and my husband and I. I’m highly allergic and they seem to be attracted to my husband, they dive bomb him stinging him repeatedly. I spend a fortune on cans of wasp spray every year and I was dreading this as I just saw the first ones appear for this year. I’ll be preparing for battle with my soapy water! Thank you so much for sharing this info! I’m so excited to try this !
Are those the same kind of hornets you find around your house every year? I'm asking because they look really big and those stingers are huge they're thick. Because there are murder hornets in the States now. I personally live in Washington State and up near the Canadian border in the town of Blaine there was a murder hornet nest they have the nest but that doesn't mean that there aren't any flying around still so just be careful I would suggest picking up those dead ones and putting them in the garbage because they can still sting you.
Actually the Dawn worked better than the Polmolive dish detergent. Supposedly it does not matter, but I used the P first and the wasps did not disperse like I thought. They were still there the 2nd day. Purchased to D and it wiped them all out. So I think there is a difference.
Thanks for sharing this video, great to know! I don't like buying or using toxic chemicals in or around my home but I have recently bought those wasp sprays because they were in places in animal buildings and my porch where we often were and I didn't wanna get stung. We also get these huge bumble type bees in my rabbit hutch and those dudes hurt if they sting you and they fly towards you when you come in to feed and water the rabbits. Will this method work on tbem? Can't remember if I actually saw a "nest" though like you do wasps. I'd just try it but I would rather not risk aggravating it and then surely I'll get stung. Lol
Thanks for this, had no idea the same thing I use in the garden would kill wasps. Just got hammered by some last week and bought a can of that toxic stuff but now I won't have to use it! My wife found some really clean dish soap at trader joes, not advertising for them because of their general snobbiness but they do have some good clean products with no dye, perfume, etc. plant derived.
I discovered this on my own a few years ago. I had mixed up Dr Bronners pure castile soap and water in a pump up sprayer to spray on other bugs in my yard. One day a wasp came flying near me while I had the sprayer in hand, so I sprayed the wasp, and it instantly dropped like a rock to the ground! I couldn't believe it! This works!
That is AWESOME!!! I wonder if it would be good with a pressure washer with soap? We have a tall roof down here and they love to nest up in the peaks where even those 20ft sprayers can't get them. Thank you so much for this information!!
Soapy water works on any aphid infestation, too. Also white fly. The soap blocks the insects ability to breathe, or so I've read. It absolutely works. No poisons necessary. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to do it. The expensive sprays are Not any better. And I appreciate the disclaimer- only kill the ones in my living space.
Only thing is by using a soap bottle with the nozzle like what you're doing which is great for some levels but if it's over your head like up under your ears that's not going to work I would maybe invest in a one of those jugs that you use to spray something for your weeds you know you pump it and then you spray with it that's the only way I can see getting it up under the eaves.
Update comment: I t wasn't long after seeing this video I got stung 3x by wasps in my rabbit hutch. They seem to have appeared overnight and i wasn't aware they were there when feeding my rabbits. I was scared to use the diap bottle because i found the nests up under the roof so was above my head and i couldn't get a good angle. Sure didn't wanna get stung again either it hurt for hours!!! So we bought a container that attaches to a garden hose and I put soap and water in it and hubby adjusted the nozzle according to good stream which allowed some distance. That worked like a charm!! Then my chickens went to town eating then after they fell. Lol! Least I knew it wouldn't kill them.
I’m a grandma too, yes we try to get every drop out of all our bottles of soap. BUT we have had problem with box elder bugs this winter spring. Those lil bugs love to come in, and with those we catch them with finders or the handheld vacuum and once caught, we drop them into a nice pool of soapy water. Oh look at that, they can’t swim. lol. We also get large clusters along the south side of the foundation. We have a small bottle that we fill up with soapy water, pump up the handheld sprayer and go after them. I think the soap dries on their wings or gums them up so bad they die. Thanks for the tip on the wasps, I’d rather use the soapy water than all those expensive compressed chemicals.
I never knew this so this is very helpful! I like home remedies that are inexpensive and simple and don't harm the environment. I don't see that it would be a good thing in your house maybe depending on where your aim in that water, but for outside definitely a great idea 😊
Just only go after those trying to harm you… I would say if you don’t have to down them then try to avoid but if you can’t avoid then here’s the recipe
We bought one of those Shelter Logic sheds. After 4 years the top rotted out, so we bought the high dollar replacement material. No way was I going to spray petroleum products on a $1600 sheet of plastic, no matter how crazy thick it might be. If this works, that solves my problem, lets my wife refinish her table under it tomorrow, and gets you another subber. Thanks .....Some time later...... The temptation is high to add more soap, but I resisted and sure enough, they drop on the ground and don't even try to attack. I didn't wait to see what happened next except a tap dance and done. Going to be helpful in the chicken coop next year too.
Thanks so much for this video! My wife spotted a small nest outside our bathroom..so I did what you said and it soaked the nest the wasp came back and was really confused he flew around for a while then just left..the nest was really small so I caught it in time..Thanks again for this informative video!

@@GrowFamilyNetworkwill that soapy mix kill yellowjackets? They are so dangerous.
@mariacompton1416 I would certainly try it. When I purchased my home there was a nest in the wall of the south facing side of the house.

We found their entry point and caulked along the area where the wood trim met the brick. I still watch that are closely after 23 years.
It doesn't work

See, I've always used this method, but was taught that Dawn was the only 1 that worked 👍👏 YOU just disproved the old man 👏
The soap I use is Dawn w/ water in large spray bottle. I prefer original Dawn.

Why not? Will dish soap residue kill the plant?

It's always good to try natural remedies instead of chemicals.
I use cornmeal or grits on ant beds.
Hahaha I use grits too… I did a video I believe on it but it never got a lot of views I think lol
@GrowFamilyNetwork
Maybe I got that idea from you. I read different ideas on killing ants.
I bought grits and a bag of cornmeal. I checked two ant beds this morning, and it seems to be working.
This definitely works! I tried it and now I'm using all around my house! Thank you!
Now we only have to be responsible and use it only when necessary
I will try this method and stop investing in sprays.
Wow brother you just saved me a ton of money I had them coming in through my window frame under windowsill. It worked beautifully. Thanks again
Spray and run flailing your arms like a little girl is my method. I'm going to try the soap method. Appreciate it.
It worked just tried it in my herb garden! Thank you for sharing. I hate using chemicals and try not to if I can help it. God bless you! First time I saw your channel! Stay safe!
Much respect! Thank you for showing this. Didn't realize it would take care of wasps like that without the chemicals.
👍💯
I love you man!
I have a bad reaction to them, so this is great.
I'm thinking super soaker!
Never tried a super soaker but that maybe a gamechanger 🥸
Wow. How cool. My grandma used to do the same thing rinsing out the bottle to use every last drop. Thank you for this great idea. I'm using it right away !😊
True same recipe lol
Thank you for sharing and also for caring about the ones not bothering us. I think I have to do this to the vent that goes from my washroom and out on my balcony. I was out there vacuuming the cob webbs off of the vent yesterday evening & every time I started there was a wasp that came out of no where trying to get in the vent. It's like it has already set up a home in there? Things always try to live on my balcony because I have so many plants and other lovely things out there. Pigeons tried to make a nest (mess) a couple of winters ago. Wasps is a new one though. But I have tried to balance my home energetically like from an orgone energy point of view. And I take this as a sign & a compliment that they eould choose my vent to wanna make a nest, but in the words of Honey Brown: "Ain't no BodEE got time for that!"
Love it! Easy, cheap, non-toxic…smart! Thank you.
no more poison!
what a valuable tip!
Yesterday, a wasp got in my shirt and stung me in front of my right shoulder. I saw him again today, I have been told, wasp never forget a face😮¿ thank you for this Chem free, inexpensive defense or offense. God bless all
This will be so helpful. Already have several wasp nests I have found in my yard and on my house just in the last week. They are so easily agitated as well, so I'll give this a try. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Been using that for years,truly works, for yellow jackets add 30 drops of clove oil for the inground ones, it does something to their pheromones and they dont seem to be able to signal anything to each other, thats just my guess...
Thank You!! I got stung yesterday while painting my front steps rail. Will make me a bottle of sapy water to keep out on my porch😚✌🏽
I know the feeling, but I also know you feel like why you stung me??? Now it’s fair game yall started it
My word! I just bought a bottle of wasp spray for almost $7!!! Thanks for sharing.
I believe it. Every time I do dishes more than once a day, my hands start cracking.. 😩
Lol
Same way with me ,, they’re cracked and peeling now 😵💫
They add formaldehyde to dish soap. Embalm them.
If you have it around, another thing that works instantly is hair spray, especially if you don't have the detergent mix ready to go and you've got a wasp in the house. The hair spray will bring them right down out of the air. The hair spray also prevents wings from working. Both the detergent and the hair spray work exactly the same way to kill insects. Insects can't "breathe" when their pores are clogged up. The only problem is that the spray of either must hit the bug directly. If they just walk through it, it won't harm them.
Thanks for sharing!!
Brilliant tip!
@@anettee.1805 A coworker back in the early 1970's gave me that one.
I’m so glad I came across your video! Every year I feel like there’s a war between the wasps and my husband and I. I’m highly allergic and they seem to be attracted to my husband, they dive bomb him stinging him repeatedly. I spend a fortune on cans of wasp spray every year and I was dreading this as I just saw the first ones appear for this year. I’ll be preparing for battle with my soapy water! Thank you so much for sharing this info! I’m so excited to try this !
Thanks for the comment I hope this video really does provide some relief to you and your family
🥰You are right taking care of the wasps. You are protecting your babies too. 🥰 good job. 🥰
Are those the same kind of hornets you find around your house every year? I'm asking because they look really big and those stingers are huge they're thick. Because there are murder hornets in the States now. I personally live in Washington State and up near the Canadian border in the town of Blaine there was a murder hornet nest they have the nest but that doesn't mean that there aren't any flying around still so just be careful I would suggest picking up those dead ones and putting them in the garbage because they can still sting you.
Flush them down the toilet. Damn the garbage.
Those are paper wasps, not hornets, and certainly not "murder" hornets.
Thanks man! I have some on the back porch to close to the door! Hate those nasty chems! Love the kids inside! Gettem Dad! :)
This is a great method.
I saw a guy that had them on his second floor. He used this method in his pressure washer. Knocked them out quick
For us that don’t like to get very close I wonder if a high power soaker water gun would work with this soapy water in it? thx for the tip!
Brilliant idea! Thanks Mary
Good idea..
Oh, I like that idea!
Great idea!
Actually the Dawn worked better than the Polmolive dish detergent. Supposedly it does not matter, but I used the P first and the wasps did not disperse like I thought. They were still there the 2nd day. Purchased to D and it wiped them all out. So I think there is a difference.
Agree with your comment, if they are too close to the home, then they got go...Dish soap and peppermint is even better.
Thanks for sharing this video, great to know! I don't like buying or using toxic chemicals in or around my home but I have recently bought those wasp sprays because they were in places in animal buildings and my porch where we often were and I didn't wanna get stung.
We also get these huge bumble type bees in my rabbit hutch and those dudes hurt if they sting you and they fly towards you when you come in to feed and water the rabbits. Will this method work on tbem? Can't remember if I actually saw a "nest" though like you do wasps. I'd just try it but I would rather not risk aggravating it and then surely I'll get stung. Lol
Thanks for this, had no idea the same thing I use in the garden would kill wasps. Just got hammered by some last week and bought a can of that toxic stuff but now I won't have to use it! My wife found some really clean dish soap at trader joes, not advertising for them because of their general snobbiness but they do have some good clean products with no dye, perfume, etc. plant derived.
I discovered this on my own a few years ago. I had mixed up Dr Bronners pure castile soap and water in a pump up sprayer to spray on other bugs in my yard. One day a wasp came flying near me while I had the sprayer in hand, so I sprayed the wasp, and it instantly dropped like a rock to the ground! I couldn't believe it! This works!
👍
Works great in a garden/pump sprayer, too. Depending on the nozzle, you can get some good range out of the spray to reach up high.
👍
Better than any other wasp remedy vid I’ve seen! 🎉
THANK YOU!!!
I have three big nest RIGHT NOW!
JUST GOT STUNG ON MY LEG AND FINGER YESTERDAY.
THEY GOTTA GO!!
I DIDNT KNOW!!
Timely info. We have a nest at the base of our lilac bush.
That is AWESOME!!! I wonder if it would be good with a pressure washer with soap? We have a tall roof down here and they love to nest up in the peaks where even those 20ft sprayers can't get them. Thank you so much for this information!!
Soapy water works on any aphid infestation, too. Also white fly. The soap blocks the insects ability to breathe, or so I've read. It absolutely works. No poisons necessary. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to do it. The expensive sprays are Not any better. And I appreciate the disclaimer- only kill the ones in my living space.
I honestly thought you were using a pressure washer. Lol!!! Thank you!
awesome tutorial. shows everything in detail and will save me money. thank you.
That's very effective. Got me on a research project now to find out what happens.
The eyes of Laura told the reason or kills them in the comment above.
Only thing is by using a soap bottle with the nozzle like what you're doing which is great for some levels but if it's over your head like up under your ears that's not going to work I would maybe invest in a one of those jugs that you use to spray something for your weeds you know you pump it and then you spray with it that's the only way I can see getting it up under the eaves.
Or, like Mary suggested in another comment, use a Super Soaker or other high powered water gun. 😊
,Both great ideas too!
Update comment: I t wasn't long after seeing this video I got stung 3x by wasps in my rabbit hutch. They seem to have appeared overnight and i wasn't aware they were there when feeding my rabbits. I was scared to use the diap bottle because i found the nests up under the roof so was above my head and i couldn't get a good angle. Sure didn't wanna get stung again either it hurt for hours!!! So we bought a container that attaches to a garden hose and I put soap and water in it and hubby adjusted the nozzle according to good stream which allowed some distance. That worked like a charm!! Then my chickens went to town eating then after they fell. Lol! Least I knew it wouldn't kill them.
We all have the same grandmothers, it doesn't matter where you are in the world!!! 😆
I’m a grandma too, yes we try to get every drop out of all our bottles of soap. BUT we have had problem with box elder bugs this winter spring. Those lil bugs love to come in, and with those we catch them with finders or the handheld vacuum and once caught, we drop them into a nice pool of soapy water. Oh look at that, they can’t swim. lol. We also get large clusters along the south side of the foundation. We have a small bottle that we fill up with soapy water, pump up the handheld sprayer and go after them. I think the soap dries on their wings or gums them up so bad they die. Thanks for the tip on the wasps, I’d rather use the soapy water than all those expensive compressed chemicals.
❤️
I never knew this so this is very helpful! I like home remedies that are inexpensive and simple and don't harm the environment. I don't see that it would be a good thing in your house maybe depending on where your aim in that water, but for outside definitely a great idea 😊
Just only go after those trying to harm you… I would say if you don’t have to down them then try to avoid but if you can’t avoid then here’s the recipe
Inside. I like to spray them with Windex. Works nice if on inside of window in the house.
We bought one of those Shelter Logic sheds. After 4 years the top rotted out, so we bought the high dollar replacement material.
No way was I going to spray petroleum products on a $1600 sheet of plastic, no matter how crazy thick it might be.
If this works, that solves my problem, lets my wife refinish her table under it tomorrow, and gets you another subber. Thanks
.....Some time later......
The temptation is high to add more soap, but I resisted and sure enough, they drop on the ground and don't even try to attack.
I didn't wait to see what happened next except a tap dance and done. Going to be helpful in the chicken coop next year too.
Thanks so much for this video! My wife spotted a small nest outside our bathroom..so I did what you said and it soaked the nest the wasp came back and was really confused he flew around for a while then just left..the nest was really small so I caught it in time..Thanks again for this informative video!
Glad it helped! Best wishes to the family
@@GrowFamilyNetwork Same to you!
Also good for fire ant nests. I also hang a stuffed paper bag on my porches each spring to keep wasps and hornets from building a nest. It works.
I need to try that
What do the paper bags do? Do you use small lunch-size ones?
