Wasp Control: Simple Green

So I had to take care of my mom’s animals for three days while she was in Alaska.  She has two dogs, two goats, two ducks, a cat, and a myriad of neighborhood wild squirrels and wild birds which she feeds on a regular basis.

While I was feeding the goats I noticed that the entryway to the small barn she owns was infested with paper wasps.  There had to have been 15 or 20 small nests around.

Not many people know this but the best way to take out a wasp’s nest is with Simple Green household cleaner.

  

Simply wait until late evening or early morning when the wasps are all nested up and then spray down the whole thing (no matter how large) with a strong solution of Simple Green out of a regular spray bottle.  As soon as the simple green contacts them they loose the ability to fly and fall to the ground where you can stomp on them.  The solution ruins thier nest and they generally don’t come back.  They never even get a chance to swarm.  It’s so cool and easy.
