For people that don’t know, regular wasps always leave in the face of danger to the nest. If you have the typical small nest, the easiest thing you can do is hit it fast with a broom or similar. They will all disappear in seconds.
I’ve seen my dad do it a lot of times with his bare hands, never got stung. But if you pass by the nest enough times, you’ll be.
Another good solution is fire. A blow torch with a wide flame, burns their wings (if it doesn’t outright kill them) and also their nest, which is more or less made of paper.
- comrade1234 1y agolol. I had a neighbor burn his shed down that way. The fun (not sarcastic) of rural life.
- LtdJorge 1y agoWell, yeah. You have to be careful. Here, houses are made of brick, and almost no one has a shed, YMMV.
- IncreasePosts 1y agoSorry, but no one has a shed? Where do you cook your meth? Please don't tell me the house.
- LtdJorge 1y agoI know you’re joking, but where I live in Spain it’s very rare, we normally store tools in the basement garage. In the north, Galicia and Asturias, it’s much more frequent to have wooden sheds in the countryside.
- tmerc 1y agoAlternatively, if you like having your house not catch on fire... Soapy water is unreasonably effective. Water alone is not. The soap makes the water extra clingy and does a pretty rapid job of incapacitating insects. Then killing them. I've taken out individual wasps this way, but not a whole nest.
- jonbiggums22 1y agoI once saw a video of a crazy dude take care of a wasp nest by putting a plastic grocery bag over it and detaching the nest in one smooth motion, then tying it shut and throwing it in the trash. He didn't get stung because the nest was tied up before the wasps even knew they were under attack.
