How to kill underground wasps

Question

How to kill underground wasps

Answer 1

To get rid of underground wasp nests, you will need the following:

--A helper who will remain calm

--A half-gallon of kerosene or diesel fuel (NOT gasoline)

--A shovel

--A large wet cloth or towel

--Protective clothing:  A beekeepers suit would be perfect. If you can’t get one make sure your clothing has a thick, slick surface like rubber. Woven materials like cotton or wool are easily penetrated by wasp’s stingers. Tie your jacket cuffs and pant legs over your gloves and boots. Do this so no wasps can fly under your clothes and sting you.

To get rid of the wasps:

--Wait until after dark, or early in the morning. This is done to make sure that all of the wasps are in the nest.

--Approach the nest VERY quietly.

--Pour the fuel into the entrance of the nest.

--Immediately have your partner cover the hole with the wet cloth so the fumes and wasps won’t escape.

--DO NOT light the fuel. The fumes alone will kill the wasps almost instantly.

--RUN!

If you are wary about the effects of diesel on the environment, you can also substitute commercial insecticide. The best kid comes in a bottle with a spray range of fifteen to thirty feet. Empty the ENTIRE bottle into the nest.
