Trying to deal with a wasp nest, that is inside a wall, without cutting a hole in said wall. I doubt we will be successful, but I really don't have the extra moolah for an exterminator. Frickin stupid wasps. Ya got a forest full of trees and stumps and shit, stay outta my house!
(100% sure they are wasps and not bees)
@aspecurian Uhmmm....I'd have to think about it and ask around, but possibly?
@POOetryma @aspecurian The space is definitely not air tight. They are going in, through an exterior wall, under an eve. We have been blocking any access points, as we see them going in/out......You can HEAR them trying to escape, if you stand outside. It's right above our back door, so a very inconvenient place to constantly have wasps buzzing around.
@Evereigh @aspecurian Then your best option is probably to trap and kill them, as demonstrated in the video.
@POOetryma @Evereigh Shop Vac 😁
@aspecurian @POOetryma Noooot the worst suggestion......! Lolol
@Evereigh @POOetryma I have seen people use them for this purpose.
Pretty sure they put soapy water in the bottom- and wind up with a bunch of drowned wasps.
@aspecurian @Evereigh Yep, that works, too. Excellent suggestion! 🙂👍
@Evereigh I don't imagine you want to spray a bunch of soapy water in your walls.
You may want to just get some wasp spray and stick it in whatever entrance you can find. Might work, might not.
@aspecurian We've unloaded 3 cans of "Bee Bopper" into it already, with no success. So, all holes are getting blocked and I'm crossing my fingers they die over winter. If not...Guess I'll have to pony up and pay an exterminator. Blarf.
@Evereigh Yeah, plugging the holes is a good idea.
@Evereigh @aspecurian A CO2 fire extinguisher may do the trick, but requires you to poke a hole or two in your sheetrock, that the space is airtight, and that you have adequate ventilation for yourself, plus some finagling to rig a hose up to direct the gas into the wall.
