How To Take Down A Wasp Nest

If you’ve got a wasp nest in your attic or shed, you do not want to mess with it. If wasps feel threatened they’ll attack, and those stings hurt! Heck — even if the wasps aren’t feeling threatened, they’ll still sting you. Worst, without professional removal, wasps love to find and build nests in places where people move around. That can be trouble if you’re home alone; you don’t want to get attacked while in your living room or kitchen.

There is nothing worse than dealing with a wasp nest. They’re like tiny flying soldiers intent on destroying anything that gets in their way, and their nests are everywhere. If you live in a warm climate and take pleasure in sitting outside, then you’ve probably dealt with these little nightmare creatures.

How To Take Down A Wasp Nest

It is important to take down a wasp nest as quickly as possible. It is not safe to leave the nest unattended, and it can also be a fire hazard. If you have an emergency with a wasp nest, call in a professional exterminator.

If you want to tackle the job yourself, here are some tips for how to take down a wasp nest:

1. Wear protective gear such as long sleeves, pants and boots when removing the nest from your home or business. This will help keep you safe from stings and bites.

2. Remove any furniture or other items that could fall on top of you if disturbed by the removal process (for example, tables or chairs).

3. Find where the wasps are entering and exiting through cracks in walls or holes in ceilings (you may need help from someone else in order to get up high enough). You can also use a flashlight if necessary to see inside dark spaces such as attics or basements where they might be hiding out during daylight hours when no one is around!

7 Ways to Get Rid of Wasps In Your Yard  

If you have wasps in your yard, these tips can help you get rid of them:

1. Hang wasp traps

Wasp traps are one of the most common—and effective—ways to get rid of wasps in your yard. The traps feature a liquid that attracts wasps. When the wasps crawl into the trap, they get stuck and drown. While wasp traps are effective, they accumulate dead wasps and can be unsightly to look at. Replace them often and be sure to hang them away from your outdoor living areas.

2. Spray wasp nests

If you see an active wasp nest around your home or property, spray it with store-bought wasp nest spray. For best results, wear protective clothing and spray the nest late in the evening, when the wasps are dormant, and the workers and queen are all present. Purchase a wasp spray with a nozzle that allows you to spray from a distance. Re-spray the nest repeatedly over the course of a few days, if needed.

3. Use soap and water

If you want an alternative to store-bought insecticides, tackle small wasp nests with soap and water. Mix two tablespoons of dish soap into a spray bottle of  water and spray it on the nests. The mixture will clog the wasps’ breathing pores and kill them instantly.

4. Create homemade traps

Build a homemade wasp trap by cutting the top off a large soda bottle and adding a few inches of soda or fruit juice (with a few drops of dish liquid) to the bottom. Invert and replace the top and hang the homemade trap in your yard.

5. Kill emerging wasps

Store-bought wasp killing sprays can be effective for eliminating individual wasps. Spray wasps as you see them, being sure to follow all label directions on the insecticide you buy.

6. Treat future nesting areas

In addition to spraying existing nests, you can treat future nesting areas. Purchase residual liquid insecticides at your local home or hardware store and spray it in the areas where you think wasps would nest, such as your deck, pool, patio, playset, and wood fence. This discourages future nest building.
