Need help with a Wasp problem?

Hey Mez! Been a long time. Anyway, go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a $4 can of spray foam called "Great Stuff", catchy huh. Spray it in the crack. It will swell and over flow. DONT try to smooth it out while its wet and swelling. Leave it alone for at least 4 hours. You can cut the excess off after its hard. It cuts easy like a medium rare steak. This wont get rid of the buggers but hopefully it'll make them find a new way to the nest away from your front door. If that dont work, call me. I have experience removing wasps. lol

Sounds like you have a really big nest somewhere. They are really clever little creatures. I had one come into the house and then fly out. I slammed the door and he wanted back in. He was smart enough to circle my house until he found another way in and there he was again. So when I tell you to use something much sturdier than what you have used, you may find that they just find another way to the nest. You can get a cheap tube of concrete patch that's in a tube like caulk. You will need to stuff something into the crack so that there is support for all the stuff you are going to pump in there and the filler will just make a seal over the stuff. Screening is a good idea if you have some laying around. Anything that will stay and last outside is good because you're covering it up. Free is best. But before I did that, I would get a bomb and let it lose. Take your kids out of the house and cover anything to do with food. Wash down counter tops, pot & pans and dishes to be safe. Wasps and like critters really like to get in hidden places with old wood. I don't think you're solving your problem here but just putting off someone really getting bitten. You might try your health department for help. Here they expose it all and spray it with a mixture of dawn soap and water and we have some serious bee problems here. Soap is a killer too but you have to have that nest exposed. If you are renting, call your landlord. A big nest can really cause damage as well as they can get upset and kill pets and children and here people get stung to death. Be careful with what you do.

You could cover the crack with window screen material, it's cheep and can be found at most any home improvement store maybe even at Wal-mart. I have also filled cracks with steel wool.

Another trick is to take the same window screen material and make a cone shape over the hole, like a funnel with the pointed end extending out away from the crack. You can attach the cone with screws or duct tape just make sure it is sealed around the edges where the screen touches the house.

Make the funnel about 12 inches long. then cut a small hole in the end of the cone (making it like a funnel) make the hole just big enough so the wasps can get out.

What will happen is the wasps will get out but will not be able to find their way back in and will eventually leave.

Nest removal or getting rid of wasps, particularly social wasps, is a fairly simple process. Finding the nest usually entails a quick survey for heavy wasp traffic during dusk or dawn, when wasps tend to return to the nest. Once the sun is down for the evening and you’ve noticed less traffic near the nest, dress yourself with multiple layers of clothing, and find a pair of gloves, just in case. Then, go out to the nest and spray the entrance with any wasp killing agent, like Raid for example. Spray liberally, but avoid inhaling too much of the poison. Most wasp poisons kill on contact, but it’s best to be safe by slowly leaving the area, sudden movements can attract attention. Which wasp killer you use depends on where the nest is. For nests that are located underground, you will want to use a wasp killer that is not labeled as a projectile spray. You want very little spray for yellow jacket nests that are found underground. For nests that are elevated, you will want to find a can of wasp & hornet killer that is labeled as a projectile spray. This will ensure a stream of wasp poison roughly 15-20 feet in length. Plenty of distance to make a quick escape if necessary. Repeating this process twice or even three times may be necessary until you’re certain the nest has been vacated. Once you see that there is no traffic, it’s probably safe to knock down the nest if it’s an aerial nest, or fill the nest with dirt and gravel if it’s in the ground. This should be the end of your wasp problem until the next migration cycle.

There's wasp spray that has plastic straw looking deal on it that will get into the crack.

It is made to shoot 20 feet or more. That can get the spray into the crack further into it. The nest has to be in there. They are good at making nest in walls.

if you wanna do this cheap and i had the same problem fill a spray bottle with hydro chloric acid or caustic soda and spray into the gap and keep spraying you should wear protective clothing when doing this also wear sun glasses or anything that will protect your eyes good luck and be carefull with this stuff

ring your local council and they will send out pest Control they will spray a powder over the crack and it will be dead in an hour it costs about £34

why not just bung up the hole so they cant escape, they wll eventually die, those left outside should go elsewhere as they cant get in the crack.
