Wasp nests can be annoying, not to mention dangerous. Sometimes these nests are in your garden, or sometimes they’re in your attic where you’ll never get at them. Other times, the nest is inside a wall, nestled away from all detection. It’s also possible you have no idea what I’m talking about — and that’s fine. Things like wasps are often taken for granted; people don’t think about them unless they have a problem and then it’s too late. Fortunately, this article will teach you how to kill a wasp nest naturally and keep them away so you never have to deal with them! If there is one thing that a homeowner really doesn’t want to deal with, it’s a wasp nest. This is especially true if the nest is in or around your home. The good thing is you won’t have to worry about dealing with the problem by yourself when you find out how easy it is to remove a wasp nest. Instead of looking through books and blogs; you’ll be able to look at your own backyard while you quickly get rid of the threat that is a wasp nest.

But for some reason, I just could not make up my mind on how to remove the wasp nest from the front door sill. As a result, I tried many ways to do it but today’s post will review my own experience with trying to remove a wasp nest naturally.
How To Move A Wasp Nest
Introduction
Most of us have been in the situation where a wasp or two has infiltrated our home, causing us to kill it and quickly close that window. But what happens when you have a full-on wasp invasion on your hands? You probably have a wasp’s nest somewhere around your home. Although the best solution is to call in an exterminator, what if they can’t come right away or your budget doesn’t allow you to work with one? You might be asking yourself: “How do I move a wasp nest?” Below, we’ll go over some quick ways you can get rid of that pesky problem.
Tip 1: Wear protective gear
You should wear protective gear when you are dealing with a wasp nest. This includes:
- Long sleeves, long pants and gloves
- A hat or helmet
- Eye protection, such as goggles or glasses with lenses made of plastic (not glass)
- A mask, like what painters use to prevent paint from getting into their lungs. If you have an allergy to bee stings, bring an EpiPen® (epinephrine injection) in case of accidental contact with the nest. (EpiPens® are not substitutes for seeking medical attention.) The best way to avoid getting stung is not to be around the nest when it’s active!
Tip 2: Wait until dusk
If you can, wait until dusk to start the process. Wasps are less active at this time and are less likely to sting you or be aggressive. They’re also much less likely to fly or swarm, as well as attack if provoked. This is because they tend to be more defensive during the day, while they are resting in their nest.
If you can wait until evening before moving your wasp nest, it will be much easier on both you and your home!
Tip 3: Detect the location of the nest

Tip 4: Use an insecticide to kill wasps in the nest
- Use insecticides to kill wasps in the nest
If you want to make the wasps move out of the nest, you can spray an insecticide onto it. The best kind of insecticide to use when killing wasps is one that is safe for humans and pets, but will still kill the insects on contact. Select an insecticide with no or minimal repellent qualities, as this will allow them time to leave before they die and fall into their nest. Avoid pyrethrins, which are found in some commercial products such as Raid® Wasp & Hornet Killer Spray or Ortho® Home Defense Max® Insect Killer For Lawns & Gardens Concentrate Treatment (1 Quart). Follow all instructions carefully when applying any product containing chemicals—even those designed for outdoor use—to avoid accidentally harming yourself or anyone else who might be present in your home at the time of application! Spray only when dusk falls outside; otherwise it may be too difficult for even professional exterminators like ourselves here at Sparkle Pest Control Incorporated!
Tip 5: Remove the nest as close to dusk as possible
- Move the nest at dusk, as wasps are less active when it gets dark.
- Do not disturb them at night, but wait until dusk. This is because they will be less likely to attack you or sting you if they are asleep.
- When moving a wasp nest, it’s best to avoid being stung by following these tips:
Wasps can be dangerous and it’s important to be careful when moving a wasp nest.
It’s important to be careful when moving a wasp nest. Wasps are known to be dangerous and some stings can be fatal. They can also make your home feel unsafe, especially if you have children or pets.
Wasp nests are also dangerous to move because they are made from paper and mud that can easily break apart as you pick it up. This makes the nests hard to relocate without getting stung in the process.
