I just noticed the wasp are eating my flowers. I have chickens, ducks and young turkeys... Can I still use Seven Dust on my flowers?
Yes I'm sure it's not my ducks, chickens or turkeys eating my flowers. I have used Seven Dust before but I never had young turkeys.
I also posted this in garden..

ETA I just seen you don't like traps



but are you sure they are wasps? .... it sounds more like leaf cutter bees, which are pollinators
Very sure. A few where busy eating leaves this morning. I killed what I could with out getting stung. Then did a good investigation of the plant and the wasps are all I could see doing the damage. Didn't see any other insects on the plants or the ground around the plants. I will see what I can find on Google about the safety of Seven Dust on turkeys.

People used to use it for mites and lice on poultry. It has fallen out of favor because of bees and cancer concerns
 
What do you recommend to kill wasp? I only have this problem in early spring before the blooms start. I don't want to hurt my turkeys.
Soapy water sprayed directly on the wasps. It will kill bees too if sprayed directly on them but unlike Sevin, the bees will not carry it back and kill the whole hive.
