Red Wasps Have Declared War

[okierider]

I think the red ones get more aggressive when the heat is bad like it has been lately. Run across them quite a bit on our rental properties and hot is when they just dive bomb people for no apparent reason. Some of the little asshats get what they deserve, but some of the renters are all right . But I kill the wasps all the same.

I get them in my tractor loader frames every year. Those holes just seem to say vacancy, welcome.

I finally found a reason for them AR12's. How many can you get before they get you.

I remember when the 30' wasp spray used to kill them suckers before they could drop to the ground, but then the .gov got involved and now when sprayed they do a little bobble, give you 'thanks' for the quick shower and fly away.

You don't neeeeed 30 feet to kill a waaaaasp.

Brake cleaner in an aerosol drops them out of the sky.

I recently bought a can of wasp spray that shoots 20 feet. I have used it on a couple of nests and the wasps are covered with foam and fly away or a few hit the ground and buzz then die. There are a few that return. Soapy water thrown on them generally drops them and they suffocate. I use DAWN generously in the mix. My .02.

That was a sarcastic post mocking Gov (at the time) Cuomo and his reference to 30 round magazines not needed to kill a deer.

But you’re right. I use a Dawn mix also.

I have used this as well. It's instantaneous.

Couple years ago we had them bad. I learned from an old farmer to kill them all at night, knock their nests down, and spray wd40 where the nest was. It took me a couple years to get all their spots, but I haven’t seen a red wasp or nest in a couple summers now
