What is the best way to get rid of a wasp nest?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Depends on the type of wasp. I covered the methods for the various different types of wasp nests in How to Kill Wasps. There are some species that you are better off leaving alone if at all possible.

Thank you! I wrote that for Mahalo. All How to's go through a rigorous editing process where they are checked for plagiarism. They have to be 100% original.

I just wanna say right now, (if people are allowed to curse on this site) but your article that you left for me on my reply was the shit! That was very amazing and full of all kinds of facts. i really thought it was interesting. did you write that or copy and paste it?

Interesting that they will not return to the nest. My dad's idea of hosing it down would probably work!

Thanks!

Fill a squirt bottle with rubbing alcohol. Spray it directly into the nest. They will drop out instantly. They won't fly out and sting you. Discovered by accident, it is amazing and very cheap!!!!!!

I don't know if this is the best way. It sure is entertaining though.

If you are in a cold state wait till it is cold and hit it down. If your in a warm state
stray bee killer on it from a far away distance. Be careful. Pressure washers work well also.

i use a direct stream spray from the big box stores. can spray a direct stream of pesticide from about 15' away. its very cheap, i'm a landscaper and i stock up when on sale, its usually about $2-$3 per can. best used when cold because they won't come after you, but at 15' you can do it whenever. i got attacked thursday cutting mexican sage, i only got it once, but my worker got stung about 10 times. we didn't see it till we were on top of it.

Personally i would just knock it down and throw it away, but then i read this article and its actually pretty interesting, probably more then you ever wanted to know about the little insects but give it a read and im sure it can help you out.
however iv always just hit them with a broom or squirted them with a hose.

That is NOT a good idea with some species. Yellowjackets are extremely aggressive and will defend their nests.
