    Default Wasps: anyway to repel them?

    Is there anyway to keep wasps from wanting to make a nest in your home?

    Id be carfull with that thought. Seeing how brake cleaner will pretty much strip any paint or distroy plastic. So i wouldent want it on "mist mode" and blow onto my car on the drive way....lol

    3M spray glue is also fun. The wee little beasties wings get glued and they crash.

    I break a hole in the nest and jerk off into it. But watch out, last time some 4 foot man-wasps came after me.

    ^^BAHAHHA wtf...

    Best thing to do is place a brown paper bag were a potential nest mybe. This is to simulate an already existing nest, which will inturn ward off the lil pricks.

    peace

    I wouldent recommend this method, but I'll let it be known. Last year, we noticed a whole bunch of wasps builidng up a nest in our backyard beside our fence. Luckily we caught them in their initial nest building stages so they werent as buckwild as they would have been if we had disturbed an already developed and thriving nest. I suited up in a hoody, goggles, and gloves and grabbed some toothpicks. Went out back, sprayed their area with water and knocked some of them out of the sky. Then I pounced and skewered about 3 of them on toothpicks and planted them around their nest area. I had hoped that this would show them who is boss. Unfortunately, within an hour they came back in monumental numbers. So I just sprayed the bitches with Raid.

    Brake cleaner didn't work for me couple years ago, I went to Rona, they had this expanding foam (the nest was under the sidewalk concrete)... night time, cream-pied the entire can; the foam expanded and they never came out in the morning.

    I'll probably try the brown paper bag one. Sounds like it'll cause the least collateral damage, lol.

    I'll keep the other ideas as back ups, they sound like fun

    Can of WD40 + Lighter = Flamethrower for the win!!!

    Or, when we were little kids we'd fill up our super soakers with C-Plus and spray the little bastards. It would gum up their wings so they couldn't fly and we'd curb stomp 'em.

    Ok, neither are really ways to 'repel' wasps, but both good ways to inflict maximum punishment on the little striped a-holes.
