✅ How To Get Yellow Jackets & Wasps Out of House Siding Without Getting Stung

  • No need for an exterminator, get rid of yellow jackets and wasps from your house siding or ground nest with two easy steps. I had yellow jackets in my brick exterior wall and in behind stucco where there was a crack/gap in the wall. You need to use non-repellant insecticides so you can take out the whole colony.
    Products I used:
    Spectre PS Aerosol Spray: amzn.to/3b4sDqB
    D-Fense Dust: amzn.to/3nbUjQh
    Diatomaceous Earth Powder Duster: amzn.to/3ne0IdN
    Insect resistant expanding foam: amzn.to/44aNMZD

      WaspHunter says on his channel that Drione dust by far the best and most fast acting for taking care of all wasps and hornets. He's commented on how others like Delta and Tempo take a while to take effect which doesn't help him since he has to dig out or cut down nests for his customers. He always praises Drione as the best insecticide he uses.

    I never had yellow jackets in the structure of the house but down here in North Carolina they are in the ground. You could be mowing the grass and they will light you up.

      @@Mojo27564 My spots were tricky and it did work, but I didn't make a ton of effort to make sure I was hitting the nest, so the dust wasn't really my end game. The roof needed to be done anyway, I just wasn't ready to do it during the summer. Got it done that fall and we obviously took care of the problem then!
      I still have plenty of the dust and will use it if needed. I believe it works great, you just need to consider certain factors like how deep the nest is inside the enclosure, making sure you're covering it and whatnot. Simply puffing some dust into a small hole isn't necessarily going to solve the problem. It'll slow them down no matter what you do, but they are resilient.
      I was watching the bees seemingly clean up the dust around the hole, probably by some sacrificial members of the colony😂

    Something to research further is the expanding foam used at the end of the video. I have heard that many bee-like insects like the stuff because it's easy to burrow through and somewhat replicates their hive (not to mention the stress it could potentially cause to the brick from freeze-thaw cycles). I know brick-workers typically recommend using a mortar mix that is similar to what the house is made of to prevent those issues.

    I use Delta Dust myself, and I love the stuff. Been using it for 20+ years. The stuff works really well... HOWEVER, if you're wanting to remove the yellow jackets (as opposed to letting them die inside the nest) there's another method I use which works a lot better, and faster.
    As long as you're putting a ladder up there... I bungee a vacuum cleaner hose with a couple extensions to the ladder, placing the end of the extension about an inch from the opening where they are entering and exiting. Next, you need to connect that to the shop vac on the ground, and turn it on! Run the vacuum from dawn to dusk. Bees have to leave the nest at least once a day, so in ONE DAY you'll have almost all of them sucked up. I let it run a couple days, THEN use the duster to put a generous cloud of Delta Dust in the hole. That will remain active for a few months, and kill anything that hatches later. Once that's done, seal the hole!
    This is how good Delta Dust is: I had a neighbor who let a small bald-faced hornet nest grow into a basket ball sized bald-faced hornet nest. He emptied THREE cans of wasp spray into the nest one night, after they were all inside the nest. Next morning, you could not tell he had done anything to the nest. They were as active as ever,. The spray hadn't phased them one bit. A few nights later, I went out to help him (the nest was VERY close to my pool) and I puffed just a small amount of Delta Dust into the hole in the bottom of the nest. Next day? No action at the nest. No hornets, nothing! We took it down and used it as a science lesson. The thing filled a kitchen-size garbage bag! Delta Dust is great stuff.

      John, I think you have mental twin in Finland. My husband isn’t a firefighter, but tries to find the most over the top, but comfortable solution for everything, even if it looks odd. Decade or so back he figured he needed snowboarding goggles to ease his walk to our parking lot (abt 400 yards) in horizontal snow out. I nearly died laughing, but soon I started seeing dog walkers and other people braving it to do the same, now it’s pretty common thing to see, especially when its the kind of snow that feels like small needles hitting you. If he had firefighting gear, our under patio bee problem would be solved already.

Next day I repeated and got 300, the same with day 3. Day 4 only 50 and the last day got 7. I watched over the next couple days and there was no activity.

    When I've had to deal with Yellow Jackets I've always waited until late at night around 1 or 2 AM. That way they for sure are all in the nest and calmed down. Plus air temps tend to be cooler then which also slows them down a bit. What I've had great success with is Hot Shot whole room fogger cans taped to a 6 foot handle. Those things when aimed at their hole can get into all the nooks and crannies of their nest. Sometimes it takes a couple of treatments but it works.

I make a trough and stick it to the wall even with where they enter then put Seven powder in it, fill it slightly higher than hole in wall is. You can use paper, cardboard or whatever to make the trough and some double sided tape. They will land on the powder then carry it right in for you. 3-4 days they will be gone. Stuff only costs about $6 bucks or so for 1lb. Have done this many times over the years.

    Mine were in the wall and were able to get into the interior of my house. I discovered that they were coming in through a telephone jack that was unused. I just put a piece of duct tape over it. In a week there were probably a hundred of them that came in the house to die. The trouble was that they were coming in behind my nightstand beside my bed. A lot of them just came in and went through the window blinds and never seen again. I don’t know if it was that they were not able to survive the cooler air conditioning or what. But there were piles of their dead bodies on the floor. I wondered if they were older drones that were pushed out to make room for newer drones. I have not taken care of the entrance yet but judging from the traffic going in and out it must be a good sized nest. I was having to check my bed and bedding every night. I actually found one in my c-pap mask so I had to check that too. I was constantly hearing the buzzing but now it is quiet since the tape.

    Most likely, you had 2 big nests somewhere in your structure. Which is why it took days. The bee’s bring it back to the nest and it slowlys covers the nest in the powder. If you sprayed a ball nest like on a tree branch. The powder will kill them in 15 minutes. So most likely you were not getting their nest, just their entrance point

    Just wondering if after dosing the entrance with the powder, whether or not spraying the entrance with a small amount of expanding foam and denying the wasps the ability to leave or enter, would that in any way help wipe out the nest.

    Ha ho! I know that feeling when you have to go up that ladder and watching a dozen hornets buzzing around that nest! They got into my roof and siding 15ft above ground. You dressed appropriately. A exterminator visited the house and put the powder in and around the nest and then blocked the opening with steel wool. Well, after agonizing 3 days, there was more of them buzzing around the nest than ever!! Finally I remembered that old saying: "if you want something done, you gotta do it yoursef." So I bought 2 cans of wasp hot shot at depot, suited up and took the ladder out and made my way.😵‍💫 hot shot got potential power! I remember my father killed a thousand (a thousand!🤯) flying ants in the spring down the basement!!🤯 after the spraying, I went down there and it looked like an A bomb went off! I mean the basement floor was covered in bodies! So up the ladder I went with a knee jerk reaction, I mean it was frightening, but I had this bomb ready. 🤭 when I got there, there was 12 of them hovering right in front of the nest when: I dropped that bomb. 🚀 I mean I sprayed the living shit out of that nest and the surroundings!!! The 12 hovering immediately flew out of the way. I just held that nozzle down!!😵‍💫 at one point when I was spraying under the siding, one just waterfalled right under the siding to the ground!! I used approximately half the can. I left all the area greasy covered. Next day, seen a few active but by night, there was hardly anything there. Now that I have more courage😵‍💫, I'll be repeating the process again. Eventually, I'll remove the steel wool and cork up the hole. It is terrifying! Your like shaking as you get closer to the hole.🤭 protection is necessary. It also helps with fear factor. Great job!!!😎

    Just got rid of hundreds of hornets/yellowjackets in the wall above my doorway. Here's how: Using my shop vac on "reverse flow - air out instead of in" I injected 5% Sevin Dust (available anywhere) into their entrance. I just used the extension tubes with a crevice tool attachment which has a small crack of an opening. I put the Sevin dust into the hose, 3-4 tablespoons, replaced the crevice tool on the end, stuck it up to the entrance and turned on the shop vac. It shot the dust into the hole so hard I think it filled the entire wall space! After an hour or so, I didn't see any activity, but I did it a second time. Absolutely no activity from the entrance since I did this and there were hundreds coming and going before.
