Question

How do I get rid of a red wasp nest in my trunk of a car?

Answer 1

First, find out how they got in.  Wont do any good to get rid of them if there is a chance they will return.

By a can of that wasp spray that shoots a thick stream about 10 feet.  Then one night when you about ready to call it a day.  Spray the nest.  Close the truck.  Go to bed.  Don't open the truck in the morning.  Wait till the following night, then check it.  Wasp tend not to move at night, so use that to your advantage.

Answer 2

I recommend disconnecting your car battery, filling a large, wide-mouthed container (like a bowl) with a volatile solvent like isopropyl alcohol, putting it in the car, closing all the doors and windows, and waiting a couple days.  The concentration of fumes should reach lethal levels.

Afterwards, hold your breath, open the car doors, run away, and let it air out for several hours before getting anywhere near it.

Make sure you select a solvent that won't dissolve plastic components in your car.  I cannot vouch for isopropyl alcohol.

WARNING:  The fumes will be highly flammable.  Do not get anything near the car that might cause a spark or flame, or wasps will be the least of your worries.

Answer 3

Bees and wasps are inactive after dark.  Pick a stick long enough for your comfort open the trunk after dark and knock the nest lose with the stick.  Immediately go into the house and leave the trunk open all night.  By morning the wasps should all be gone and the nest empty.  Check it carefully some wasp will continue you guard a down nest.  If empty just throw it away.  This does not require any bug sprays or hazardous chemicals.

Um try getting some of the cheap bug spray at Walmart and loading it with Dawn dish soap i mean load it in there with the bug spray then start spraying the nest. Be sure to wear sleeves and protective clothing and stuff so they don't sting your or atleast not to bad if they do.

Answer 5

First buy wasp and hornet killer, I prefer the foaming kind, then at night open the trunk , located the nest with a flashlight then foam the heck out the nest or nests. Leave the trunk open to assess the extermination.

The next thing is to buy a bug bomb and read the directions. Make sure all the windows are up and at night open the trunk set off the bug bomb then close the trunk. Wait till morning then check it out.
