Safe wasp spray

[HeyHey]

This time of year I go on a hunt for empty hornets nests. Biggest one I have found so far is a conical 24 inches long and 18-20 inches at the widest top. Last year I found an active bald faced nest that was basketball sized next to our ; I hosed it down with wasp spray and the chickens did not bother it one bit.

What kind did you use?

What kind did you use?

Bee Bopper. The safety data sheet is availability on the forestry product website. In a nutshell its safe around humans and animals (minus the obvious common sense stuff); avoid getting in sewers or water supply.

This is what we use around any of our animals and places the kids like to play.

Plant based, safe for all animals and kids

Thank you very much!

I will say, it's not an INSTANT affect like Raid or some other brands...BUT it does the job, just a bit slower.

So you spray, they will fly and leave the nest, but drop a little ways away...then it seems to like it affects their nervous system

We stomped on some of them as they fell...

The visual made me chuckle

A pint of gasoline or other petroleum based fluid like lacquer thinner does the trick. They drop instantly and die in seconds, even in flight. The gas or thinner evaporates in a few minutes so there is little fire hazard.
