East Tn. Got into yellow jackets in my horse barn in my hay this week. Dozen stings all over. Could not use chemicals around hay. Mixed this up, sprayed at least 10 nests at night. Worked beautifully. Instant kill. Cleaned up stragglers today. Cost of 2 gallon: 1.50. Awesome. Thank you.

I used to be a garage door fitter. I am allergic to wasp stings. The garage door had been broken for years and we had to break in to remove the door to install the new one. I discovered the nest and instantly withdrew and told the customer. Massive! wasp nest inside! She was about 90 years old lived through world wars, she came out with a broom and just smashed it to bits lol all that whilst she was giving me grief! "whats up with you, it's just a wasps nest lad". She got my respect instantly. old battle axe!

He uses Dawn dish soap, the de-greasing kind. Saved you 5 minutes

don't waste your time worrying about who likes or dislikes your message just give the message you'll be fine.

Dish detergent/water wasp killing starts at 6:32. Thanks for the info!

Tip. Purge the spray line with water if you are going to keep the container full of the solution for future use or the line water will evaporate and the soap residue will crystallize and clog the spray head.

Why would anyone dislike this video? Anyone who's been stung by a wasp/yellow jacket knows the agony. Also it's fatal to some. Great job on the video. Thanks.

I guess you could call it a CLEAN kill

I use the same solution but instead of the bug sprayer I use a aquazooka water blaster. It shoots faster and farther with more volume. Fill a small bucket for quick reloading.

Just tried this this morning using a simple spray/stream bottle. Hit a number of wasp nests underneath my second story deck. WOW! I am so impressed. Thank you for this tip. I always hated that spray stuff anyway. Always worried about getting it on things like my car and me. Most anything I spray on now I can just hose off. (Including me.) Now I just need a better sprayer to hit the eaves of my two story house. Thanks again.

So I'm installing gutter guards and get to an inside corner, where I'm having trouble getting it to fit. Several days pass while I mull over my predicament, and in that space of days some wasps decide the underside of the guard is a good place to build a nest. (We've had no rain) So I figure a solution to my problem, go up the ladder, and get repeatedly buzzed by these wasps. I had some Ortho foaming spray, but couldn't get it to work in such a tight space. Then I watched your video. I made the soap and water solution you recommended, and at 1:30 am I went up the ladder, and sprayed. OMG it worked like a charm. When the wasps flew out, I sprayed them directly. So tomorrow, I will finish installing on the inside corner. Thanks for providing a super-easy solution!

I think it's better to spray them at night, when they are asleep and they are all in there. You get more wasps that way. Thank you for posting, thumbs up!

We've had wasps around the gazebo for seven years. Although we spend a lot of time there, we've always left them alone. In the past six months, I've been stung three times, undeservedly. They gotta go. Thank you for a gentler more humane solution.

Glad I found this video while I was trying to find a way to get rid of a couple of little wasp's nests around my house, this is totally what I was looking for something that is environmentally friendly, I don't like killing insects but I need to be safe, I've been bitten more than once and it is really horrible, I dont mind them nesting far away from the eaves of my house but not right at the entrance to my kitchen that is a bit scary, since my hubby passed away I have to take care of all these difficult jobs, this video makes it a lot easier to tackle this. Thanks for the upload it is great, greetings from Down Under

I appreciate you sharing this. As much as possible, I try to avoid using toxic stuff. So this has been very helpful!

Thanks for a great tip! I have yellow jackets that come back every year and so far your remedy has gotten rid of them, and cheaply too! I got bit last year while gardening and got sick to my stomach for the rest of the day never mind the sting I got after being dive-bombed by this nasty creature. I appreciate your sharing this! Have a great day!

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME & TROUBLE TO MAKE THIS HELPFUL VIDEO

Thankyou so much for sharing this video! Saved my home from a full on invasion... Massive thumbs up..👍👍 😊😊.. Bless your soul !!

For anyone wondering, when you buy soap you have to make sure it has a degreaser additive because it’s that degreaser that clogs the pores on the insects exoskeleton causing them to suffocate. Just google what insects breathe through an exoskeleton and there’s ur list of what you can kill with it. And usually the best ratio is for every gallon, add 1 cup of soap

Put the water in first then the soap,.......no foam

I’m a beekeeper. This is way safer for everything involved. Wasps have their place....just not around the house.

Big props to you and this tech, I just used it in the early morning and at least 30 wasps started falling from their nest while they were just waking up!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Thanks for sharing this. It worked so nicely

Thanks for this, I agree, I respect all life BUT protecting my family is my top priority and wasps tend to be very aggressive. This is a much better solution than toxic spray. You rock!

I've used this method for over 20 years. It only works on an easily accessible nest that is in the open. Do it at night or on rainy overcast days to get the entire nest!!!!!! I also keep a spray bottle handy for the ones I see flying around where I am attempting to do yard work or home repairs. It will nock'em out of the air in mid flight or wait for them to land.

I couldn't believe how WELL this worked. Thank you for sharing this with EVERYONE. Thumbs up and great job on the video.

You should try mixing in with the dish soap some ammonia. Since we were kids my brother and I used to use that mixture to kill everything, but we didn't use a sprayer. We used the bottle the dish soap came in because the nozzle on the bottle is perfect for squirting the foam into the entrance of the hive. The reason this works so well is because the foam not only traps the wasps, hornets, etc., but it also helps keep the ammonia fumes in the nest. The best thing about this is not just the effectiveness of it but the fact that as soon as the ammonia evaporates there isn't any residual poison to harm kids or pets. Been using this method for nearly 50 years and it has never failed to do the job. 2 tbsp soap; 1 cup H2O, 1 cup ammonia and shake a lot (the thicker the foam the better).

I go out after dark to hunt down and kill wasps, they return to roost at their nests and don't fly at night. This raises the kill ratio per nest to near 100%. It also lowers the chance of being attacked and stung. Happy hunting!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Have hated using wasp spray for those stray wasps that enter my house. Love this environmentally safe recipe.

Of course, I noticed a potential alternative a few years back, for those that may not like killing wasps. Basically, my dad was grilling on our covered porch, and the cover of the porch had a little red wasp nest on it. Eventually, the smoke must have caused them to assume that the covered porch itself was on fire, because one by one they all flew the nest and never came back.

Thank you so much for sharing this info. I'm going to use this technique TODAY!!!!

I think you would get a lot more views if the title were “Cheap and non toxic alternative to wasp spray”

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing

Thank you, sir! Great video and information. Much appreciated.

You video is very helpful, I been stung by several yellow jackets and I was in pain for 2 weeks. So glad for thia video.

Don't apologize for sharing great information that is safer and possibly life saving for those who are allergic to insects. If the haters value insects life over a HUMAN LIFE......the hell with them. Great video, keep sharing them. Thank you.

Your kids are WAY more important than any wasps or bug out there. Spray on! BTW, new subscriber. :)

Thanks for the video. We have had some issues with them of late and remember this remedy. Thank you.

Good video! Over explained a little much for me but all around it was one of the better videos I've see. Very good job. Thank you! ( Definitely a thumbs up)

You get a thumbs up from us for the tutorial once you got to the point and the alternative way to get rid of the wasps. Thanks for the info. Ren

Came home today to a hornet next on the back porch. I used this formula with a pump sprayer at night and it worked great. Thanks for the info it was a cheep and great way to protect my family and pets from being stung.

U keep it real man I needed this video no cap. I feel u on protecting ur family nobody should dislike this video and if they do there not going wat ur going through. So they not going understand wat ur talking bout because all they thinking about is insect abuse.

Wow!!! Great video!! I will be trying this method. I never knew soap and water will do the trick. Thanks so much!!!

I used 2 cans of wasp spray on a nest in one of my exterior walls and the only thing i got was an interior closet that smelled like poison for a week. 1 treatment of soapy water and the colony was eradicated.

Thanks for the great info !

The died with their boots on......and miraculously sparkling clean. Good job !

Appreciate this video! We have a wasp problem. And, for whatever reason, they’ve become aggressive. Now they’re trying to build right above our back door! So, I’m definitely gonna give this a try. I saw somewhere that adding peppermint oil to the mix will prevent them from returning. So, I may add that in as well. TFS!

Very informative video. Usually I just spray and run like Hell. Still got hit a couple of times.

Good job. I’ve been attacked when using my pressure washer on my deck...I put some dish washing liquid in the wand and went crazy on the deck boards...the wasps didn’t come back at me and didn’t see any flying around for days. Also, I had a clean deck for a few weeks.

Thank you! I just used one of the sprays from Home Depot and it did not cover the area I needed. It sprayed out very quickly and the wasps did not die as fast as your. Idea showed, I can’t wait to try your remedy!

Very informative and helpful video! Thanks!

Definately going to try this!

Great info. We get wasp spray for $1.99 can and it sprays 20+ feet. Wasp spray can also be used as personal protection

Great advice. And above all, a safer approach. Thank you.

I want to thank you for a very useful video.

I set a bug zapper on top of the ground bees hole. That did it.

You sir just saved me some dinero. I tried this and voila it works! Thanks...dude😆

Thank you for the great idea. A house we just got has a storage building with a crazy amount of hornets in it. I was trying to find a safe for dogs and kids. Great video.

I like it. I’ve been using it for aphids in my garden for years. For carpenter bees, you can use a syringe with a tube at the end to deliver it deep into the hole.

Thank you for this remedy. In my backyard, It's starts around 7am when I see the wasps hovering and flying around. It's so disheartening because my dog wakes up and needs to go out and go to the bathroom around the same time the wasps come out and my dog has been stung. I bought 2 traps from Lowes and the wasps won't go anywhere near them, and so I did a KZfaq search of how to kill them, and that's how I found your channel and your video about how to kill wasps. Thank you again.

A@@ Holes with wings! No worries here. Thanks!

Perfect Tip! So Glad I can do this instead of harmful chemicals! Thank you!

Thank you for the info and example. And no worries there are many people that just look for things to complain about.

Good job. Dawn dish soap is a miracle item itself - like white vinegar is for way more than anyone can imagine!

I use the blue Dawn. The key to how much you put in there is until the water turns blue! Lol I use it to kill fleas and ants in my house. Also ants crawling on the outside of my house trying to find ways in! Glad to know it works on wasps too!

Great info man. Gonna give it a try!

Thank you for the video, great information!

A RoundUp sprayer? That's ironic lol

"I'm a dude, I'm not gonna measure it out."

I feel you, man. I don't like to kill anything I don't have to. I tried to put up peppermint smell around my back patio to dissuade them from hanging out there. However, they still continued to build a nest on the opposite side. I ended up having to do what you did. Good tip.

Hey man thanks for this video. Very, very helpful.

Brilliant tutorial All these creatures do serve a purpose but we should not allow them to threaten our well being. They should also not be made to suffer. Very well done. Big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow! Love this. I'm done buying Wasp killer. Will this work on ants (such as RAID)?

Thank you so much you are the best I gave your video thumbs up and I just subscribed I really truly appreciate it and they was on my balcony and thanks to you they are dead now I gotta knock down the beehive.

Great video! Very interesting and informative

I prefer the badminton method. You get plenty of exercise and you know if you miss. Well you get stung! - Seriously - Good video - just cut to the chase.

Great video, I like how genuine you are. You have a new subscriber!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot. I have a large wasp nest but soon discovered that my can of Wasp spray was empty. Your solution sounds better and if it kills fire ants as well (have many), your post is a true blessing. No thumbs down from me

2:00 Getting bit while doing a video on wasp spray 😂

I cannot believe anyone would give a thumbs down. These stinging insects hurts like Hel. Thanks for this video. This year hornets and yellow jackets seem to be more aggressive. So I will try this solution. I usually buy the expensive stuff but I will try this. Once again, thank you.

Very useful information here! Thanks!

They are huge, glad you took care of them, I'll try this!

And we wash our dishes with that stuff.

Cool tip! And your son's "bloody" appearance made it funny. Nice that it works with ants and cockroaches as well. I saw another video where they said wasps avoid other wasp nests because they do not like confrontation, so you can trick them by stuffing a brown paper bag with paper, then twisting the top closed and hanging it where wasps like to hang out; they will supposedly leave.

Great video and very helpful :) Thank you!

Nice remedy I got tired of buying expensive bug sprays, thank you soo much for your tips man, I'm just the average gamer who just makes gaming videos and this really helped 2 thumbs up man

I wasted my money on 3 of those cans to only still have the yellow jacket bees that built a nest right in the window sill of the house. I will definitly try your way today thanks

The surfactant (detergent) reduces surface tension in the water (makes it “wetter”) and water enters spiracles and ‘drowns’ the insect.

Go get em dude! I am with you!! Great video

Thank you!!! Needed this!

I'm surprised mosanto allowed you to live lolol. GREAT VIDEO. THANKS.

“Don’t thumbs down this video” 1300 people: “I’m your huckleberry”

Thank you so much! I'm going to try this tomorrow. I was planting flowers and cleaning leaves when I was attacked by wasps and stung twice on my knee and ankle, huge pain, swelling, and itching still after a few days. As you said, they should live, not on our home's walls.

Thank you for the video it's actually very helpful. I've been buying the kind of spray you was talking about. I have all types of bees around my house and yeah they are driving me nuts. So after you spray the nest with your home remedie do they come back to the nest if let's say you sprayed it without them there or so just wondering. Cus when I spray with the stuff I buy they fly around it for a min they leave and never come back. I will try this method of yours one day it's helpful seeing you actually spray them and to see what they do before I do it cus I chicken out alot lol.

Don't worry about the insect people. Family over stinging wasps any day. Great tip and great video!

So just any dish soap? And a "super soaker" water gun......that would give you the distance you need right?

Interesting! I’m gonna have to try this

Thank you for helping me understand this much better
