RE: The Great Homestead Wasp Fight

in #homesteading6 years ago

Just a hint for next time you need to exterminate a wasp, hornet or yellow jacket nest, go in and spray either early dawn or at dusk when all the bees are more likely to be home in the nests. Then after you remove the nests you can use a power washer to clean everything out. Raid does linger. We had a yellow jacket nest the would be roughly the size of a 55 gallon drum on our property when we first moved there. Getting rid of the nest and bees was a huge operation. And yes, we did get stung! We also use a product by Raid, something called BeeBlast. I don't even know if it is available anymore...
