The soap sticks to the wasps wings and stops them from flying around. And since wasps (and other flying stinging critters) breathe through their body, the soapy water also suffocates them. They might crawl around on the ground for a bit, but they'll die soon enough. The soapier the mixture the better it is. I use the cheap store brand "dawn" and keep a sprayer with the soapy water in it on the carport during the spring and summer months

When folks recommend using dawn dishwashing liquid to kill wasps they really aren't saying to use a garden sprayer. Usually one would put a generous amount of Dawn in a bowl with some water and then throw it on the wasp nest. I realize your nests are very high but generally what I am saying is how most people in the South do it with Dawn and wasps. You do it that way and it will fry them. They will hit the ground stiff!

I hope that was blue Dawn. 😂😂 he said dish soap. The video I saw said blue Dawn and that’s all I’ve ever used. They usually don’t walk around that much. They usually just sort of lay there and twitch and are pretty much dead. 😂 I’d add a little more soap. They’re kind of screwing around a bit more than I’d like. But it looks like whatever you’re using works. When I lived in the woods, we had them everywhere and I made 2 gallons of stuff at a time. You’re right though, it would’ve made a pretty funny video if it didn’t work😂😂

Yup! Goes to show that you have to make sure the mortar tubes are completely cool with no sparks in them, before reusing. Also limit reuse to just a few times, and maybe even surround your mortar bank with a steel box or damp sandbags at least as high as your mortar tubes, with some damp sand loose around the bases to snuff sparks quicker. Otherwise, sure loved your display! Great tip on the wasp getter!

Foam cannon on a water hose works great. Foam, volume, and low pressure, as long as you're ok soaking the area with soap. When I was a kid my dad would just beat a metal pipe into the ground and launch mortar from it on the 4th. If you get thick wall stuff it should be fine even if something fails to launch. all the pressure goes out the open end.

You need to finish your house. By that I mean the underside of your porch. Close that area off so wasps don’t have a place to build as easy. Heck you might want to insulate it to reduce the heat transfer radiating down. Also a shade cover you can roll down to block some of the sun in the afternoon. Did you happen to put the mortar upside down by accident? That would definitely cause the tube to explode. Glad you’re all ok. FW looked great. The soap trick for wasps it very cool. Looking forward to that video. I was amazed as you were on how well that worked. Now you need to write a book on tips & trick you have learn or know since being full time on your homestead.
@TKCL 18 күн бұрын
I only have to do this once a year. Hard to justify all the work and expense to close it up no more than it bothers us. As for the upside down mortar, I don't believe so. I put them all in by hanging them from the fuse so that can't happen. If you put them in upside down the fuse doesn't appear to be long enough to stick out either.

Look at getting an Ignite firing system for the fireworks. I use them and lit 36 fireworks with one push of a button from my phone. I programmed the show to be 7 minutes and it took me maybe 30 minutes to do. They have a website that helps and is super simple. I wasn't near any fireworks while they were going off and I had several finale 3" tube racks blow apart but didn't know it until I went down to check on the fireworks after the show. So very safe.

You go over 3000 psi & then you're talking steel toe boots because that pressure will cut your toes off. And anything >3000 psi requires full face protection. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

Yep. GPM is more important. The pros use a 8 or 10 GPM machine, fed by a 200-500 gallon external water tank. Typical machine from the big box store is only going to be 2 to 4 GPM. Good enough for the average home owner, but a 8 GPM machine really speeds up the job and allows you to run a much larger surface cleaner.
