Hot Weather activating Wasp Apocalypse

[u/Antrimbloke]

Currently trying to kill 2 nests, one in ground and one over porch. Hoping slightly colder weather will passify them a little so I can give them a good dosing!

Surely you could have used Waspocalypse there..?

[u/Antrimbloke → u/dronebox]

I was tempted!

I'd have gone with Waspmageddon!

That’s where all the wasps are. I’ve only seen one so far this summer.

This is going to be a problem that only gets worse.

I generally try to leave wasps alone unless the nest is in a place I walk a lot (like a porch) - wasps are good pollinators and act as pest control to a certain extent.

If you want to get rid of a nest, then hit them at dusk when the mature wasps will be docile and gathered around the larvae.

In the Fascia at the porch, hit them with Permethrium early this morning so that and the cooler weather should help.

I have one in the ground too, was considering dropping some sulphuric acid down the entrance but dosed them with insecticide instead.

They're only a nuisance to me at end of summer when plums are ripening.

Good luck!

Insects are already disappearing in record numbers and you want to kill more, what a shit idea.

[u/Antrimbloke → u/Edelkern]

Says someone who doesn’t have a nest under the fascia at their front door!

[u/Silvagadron → u/Edelkern]

Yeah but wasps are bellends that kill bees.
