✅ How To Get Yellow Jackets & Wasps Out of House Siding Without Getting Stung
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2021
- 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

So did it work long term?
@@stevenelson1456 yep all died
It's great that Gary Senise took time off from his acting schedule to show us how it's done. Seriously, though, thanks for posting this. It's very helpful.😊😊😊
🤣🥸
You’re one of the only TH-cam DIY’ers who actually put on personal protective gear. 👍🏽
Safety First! 😏👍😀 i've been stung many times and its easy to avoid even without a real bee suit.
@@NaterTater what are those coveralls called . Never seen that thick. You think there bee proof.
Definitely bee proof! They are Carhartt Coveralls amzn.to/3Jw1a3j
@@NaterTater thanks
That dust defense is great. Took a bout 5 days and all the ones living in my siding were gone. I just over dusted the openings. I mean it was overkill, my deck looked like a bakery, but it worked. All the YJ had to walk through it. And got them coming and going. The followed, up with duster in the cracks on day 6
Great to hear!
My Delta Dust arrived today and the sun just went down. Time to dust ;) Thanks for the video, it was nice to see it done with updates on how long it took. I know exactly what to expect now!
Good luck!
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. Like you, I wait until dusk and take a paper cup of gasoline and pour it in the hole. Just the vapors kill all of them overnight. Thanks for the great videos, keep them coming!
Don't worry, we have them in the ground up here too! They sneak attack from all angles...i've done the gas trick in the ground too. Was a little concerned to try it on the house... 😂
Mark the hole and pour some seven dust in there at night. Takes a few days but does the trick
I'm in NC as well, but I've been lucky to not have had any encounters from underground nests... Always looking for them tho😀
Exactly…the time to go after most bees is at dusk when they’re inactive.
I'm a pest control technician and I live in North Carolina and I can assure you that they also build above ground just like a hornets nest they are called arial yellow jackets
Awesome Job Gary Sinise (Lieutenant Dan) 🙂
🥸
Great video... We have a wasp nest in our roof area. The wasps are making a mess of our apple trees burrowing into the apples. Time we got rid. Thanks, from Yorkshire UK.
Thank you! This was the fix! I was just about to call pest control and found your video. Appreciate it!
Great to hear!
Thanks. This is the best video by far that I could find regarding yellow jackets inside the wall space or siding. I have dealt with them many times in the ground but their presence in the wall space created a more technical issue which you addressed with absolute clarity.
Glad it helped!
As Andy told Aunt Bea....."Call the man !!"
Thanks very much for this. It worked very well!
I waited until just past dark when they we’re not moving at all and didn’t wear any protective gear.
Glad it helped!
Found it! Thank you!!
Great how to video Nate. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for the video and the links to order these products. I just ordered the dust and applicator.
You're welcome. I just used the dust and duster again this year! Worked great.
Good job
Thanks, this video is exactly what I needed! 😊
Glad it helped!
Great video! Just ordered the stuff, i have dang yellowjackets going under my siding on my house, used 3m wasp killer but they still comming in and out! Gonna try this stuff!
This should do the trick! Takes 2-3 days for them to all get "dusted".
Thank you for this video! Going through the same process. I really hate having to kill them, but I have to protect my kids.
Glad it helped!
Interesting and informative
this must be the best product
for this problem , thank you
Nater 👨 💨🐝
Thanks Carlos!
Thanks for uploading this video, I'll order the same stuff you used because other insecticides I have tried won't kill them completely.
This stuff works, I've used it on many nests now! Just killed two more this fall.
Thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Excellent video, thank you so much. Awesome thank you thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I never would have expected Gary Sinise to do an infomercial.
🥸🤣
Great suit
I had a problem 30 years ago with bumble bees entering around the water hose opening. I remember the pest control guy spray some kind foam to close the opening. When the foam dries it harden.
I just found your channel and thank you for the advice. I have a problem with wasps and I believe they are entering from outside of my a/c and getting into my condo. So
I'm going to try that dust product.😢
this dust works well! They also make insect resistant expanding foam to help seal up the hole. amzn.to/44aNMZD
They have found so many entry points over the years & way too high up for me to get to. I already have this dust on hand for ants. Im about to make cheap wasp food restaurants with kid birdhouse kits 😅 see how that pans out
I had them in my siding. I finally had enough and lifted the siding and put indoor fogger can under the siding and it took care of it.
Good tip. If my attempts don't work, I'll have-ta try that.
Yeah they don’t seem to be scared of regular sprays!
Nice video!
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.
they actrually make a foam JUST to stop that, like fire stop foam it seems counter, but itt does work and for whatever reason, the bugs, even burrowing ones dont like the smell or feel of this particular foam

@mos8541 its linked in the video description
I used the shop vac with soapy water in the bottom to get most of them out. Gonna start the dusting tomorrow
Tried a shop vac on mine. Not very effective. The entry/exit point needs-ta be cornered some how. Mine was relatively open, and wouldn't suck in any bees, unless they actually flew down, into the open tube. Didn't catch one in an hour.
I had a nest under my exterior front door and at least for me that bee dust worked wonders.
Great!
Man you are braver than me. Hornets are vicious and the have 2 entries and have sentries posted on trees watching the nest.
All are doable with proper precautions. Even murder hornets!
Okin Charged $186, a Minor dust. I did as this says. All Done, $16.
I used tempo in the evening for a yellow jacket nest in the ground and in a brick wall and they were all dead the next morning
Home Depot has a Spectracide Product that has a 5-6 week residual effect. I have had real good luck with that. You'll see them around for a little while but they take it back to the nest if you can get them into it anywhere and it and pretty soon you don't see them anymore.
I had yellow jackets in my window sill...drilled 2 holes..sprayed deltadust right into the holes..
Now.. no more nest...sealed up holes
I'm afraid of I do that they may go the other way and get into the house
They do get in structures
I like using bottle rockets works very well to remove them all.
please share the video of you sending bottle rockets in behind your house siding/brick/walls.
Dam i did not know lieutenant Dan(Gary Senise) knew so much about wasps, seriously though thanks a ton have 2 nests that need to go 👍
🥸 Happy to help!
LOL. That's his "stunt" double. (Very observant.)
Lol your family is watching you the through the window, that’s what mine did when I killed all the bees.
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
What product would you use to seal up the gap on the sidings please? Will spray foam ruin the sidings?
You do have to be careful with spray foam since it expands. Vinyl siding could get ruined with it. If its a small gap I'd say use an outdoor rated caulk. If its bigger you may need some trim work.
Where did you buy your hood? I have similar case with wasps in the siding structure and I want to do a similar approach but I need a hood too
I got mine from my local harbor freight. It's similar to this amzn.to/3XMuisx
I snuck uo on a huge nest on the back of my garage at dusk and when drizzling and sprayed the back of the garage and into the nest with WD-40. They left and never ame back. They hate the smell as much as I do.
Great video... But not sure why both the Spectre PS and the Dust would be required? If the Dust is what kills them, why is the Spectre PS needed? Thanks!
Good point/question. The Spectre was overkill/ not needed. I used it help take one one immediately vs the dust that takes time.
@@NaterTater Ok... Thanks. I tried a Spectracide spray blindly sprayed in a access hole like you did and it did nothing. Most likely because I missed the nest. I'll try only the Dust applied with a Puff blower.
Can you please tell me the name of the stuff you used to kill your video was very helpful thank you
Links to all the products are in the video description if you expand it.
Wow after getting ahem...*dusted* they look like they are suffering. 😂
Hey Nate - Can you just use Sevin dust instead of special ordering the product you used? thank you
Yes, there are a few products that do something similar. You can check the active ingredients too to see as they might even be the "same thing" as far as the wasps are concerned.
Now I know what I'm doing wrong. I've been wasting my D-Fense Dust by applying it directly from the container! I see how effective that duster is, how it disperses the dust like smoke. Great video, thanks!
Good luck! Thanks for watching
Deltamethrin which is the active ingredient in defense dust generally takes 2-4 days to completely knock a nest out. I prefer Tempo or Drione dust for wasps they start shutting them down on contact and Tempo in particular is only slightly more expensive.
Tempo is my savior hahaha.
Where can you find these items
Delta dust is probably the worst
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.
We have a similar type of powder application and l believe it's purpose is to wipe out the nest.
I've heard if you block one entrance they may make or find another way out, and with it being in your walls, they may end up in your house! My dad tried once and they made their way through out light fixture in the ceiling
Yes, kill them first and them seal up the hole to prevent future infestation.
I had them put a vacuum on them, for two days, estimated 1500 captured. I put water and dish soap to kill them off. Then I called an exterminator. Finally left out a trap. They were in the eves of my roof. Seems to control the problem. All they did is swarm when I tried to spray
What were the products you used?
products and links are in the video description
You have insect grave yards in the walls of your house?
Yes. RIP.
How did you know there is nest there? I have some wasps flying around the siding close to the roof but I don’t see any room for them to build the nest (and there is no visible nest nearby)
If you see lots of wasps stare at them and track where they go. They only need a single tiny hole to crawl into and then they build the nest behind the siding.
I have been seeing around 5~10 of them around one side of house… do you think there is a nest? I was a bit hesitant to call pest control since I wasn’t sure if they are coming from woods vs having a nest in the siding.
So I have like a facia above my bay window and there was a gap and all I used was regular spray and I sealed the gap so I’m wondering are they going to eat into my house?
They might! Needs some dust in there to take them out.
Yes I don’t want them to get through my sheet rock✅ I already had to put some silicone around my top trim where it needs to sheet rock that wasn’t put up correctly around the inside of my bay window because about seven of them I believe came in through that space unfortunately
Thanks for the reply
If there’s a next time, consider duct taping your gloves shut. Hornets, etc., can get into open ended gloves!
valid point!
One exterminator used silica gel and pyrethrin to kill yellow jackets and other bees
I used 2 cans of the foaming type hornet spray and it did kill some, the rest were pissed off and annoyed. I then used a shop wet/dry vac with a couple inches of water in the bottom, positioned the hose right at the entrance point and within a couple hours I got about 200 of those nasty buggers. 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. I caulked up all the cracks where they could get inside. Mission accomplished!
Dang you got 857 out on your own? That is crazy.
@@jordanmadden7388Grant, 857, hornets 2. Got stung twice.
Where can I purchase the goods
check out the video description for all the goods
I shot Delta into a hole and around an area where brick wall meets soffit in corner of my house. Did it the last two evenings and it doesn't seem to have affected them . Maybe it's not reaching where the actual nest is. Idk man do you have any knowledge on why this may be? Thanks for the content , appreciate it
Takes a couple days. Doesnt have to make it to the nest. They just walk over it and it gets them.
@@NaterTater o ok so it gets them? they're flying in and out walking over it like nothing . .gonna try another area to spray later.
@@bobbyr2972 Products I used:
Spectre PS Aerosol Spray: amzn.to/3b4sDqB
D-Fense Dust: amzn.to/3nbUjQh
Diatomaceous Earth Powder Duster: amzn.to/3ne0IdN
I'm talking about the D-fense dust.
Try tempo dust, works fast and has good residual effect
@@JohnSmith-yf6td it took me about a week of dusting in and around the hole. After dusting, 5 days later the nest was annihilated. The crazy thing is that I only saw a few dead ones on the ground and there were hundreds flying in and out at one point. But I'm gonna try tempo next time
In the wall...no doubt
After you've drowned them with the spray insecticide, i think the dust will simply turn to mud. I can guarantee that it's not dust anymore.
Hope it worked.
My problem is several nests attached to vinyl siding. Obv can't use a torch, and afraid the insectocide will melt the vinyl.
Maybe I'll try the dust. Hope it works fast, so i don't get stung.
My application here worked great! The dust is slow acting so it takes a few days.
As someone else said, that defense dust sucks, drione dust knocks them down immediately. I was treating ants with that defense dust, they didn't even notice the stuff. Two days later I got some drione dust, it knocked them out immediately.
Expensive stuff, $54.37. I bought 1 lbs D-Fense Dust for $13.22. Maybe I'll buy the Bayer Drione Dust when I use up my D-Fense.
Is it possible that mice chewed through the insulation to get inside and then the yellow jackets took over?
I suppose
Hello and Happy Fourth of July to you and your family @Nater Tater 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🎆🎇 from North Carolina. I have yellow jackets behind my vinyl siding and they’ve built their home at my main entrance door 😮!!! I’m allergic to bees and I also have a 3 year old Maltese that goes in and out that door to potty! I looked behind the siding last night and saw them! 2 weeks ago, I barely pulled that siding back and looked in with a flashlight but they were further back in there. Now, they’re almost right at the place where I pulled the siding back! Would I use this method you’re showing at the top where they’re coming in or should I pull siding back and go in there? Never had this problem before but this host is 100urs old! So glad I found your channel!!! Thanks so much!!
Hi, happy 4th! You can put the powder wherever they enter/exit. It doesnt have to get all the way into the main nest.
How to exclude yellow jackets from gap under siding? Anyone got any ideas? im on my 10th can of expanding foam, and they can eventually bore through foam, Im thinking of layering it with steel wool. 🐝🐝
Did you watch the video? Use the dust.
@@NaterTater Funny stuff. He must be joking.
where did you get your suit? I already got stunt twice and I don't want to experience this excruciating pain again.
I just use my winter outfit, here's a link amzn.to/3AM8Xpc and I use a sandblasting hood for my head amzn.to/3pMwKz8
Hornets are another different beast. They are super dangerous and sneakers.
Nice video however, the foam can has to be used upside down otherwise, you’ll just lose all your propelling gases.
Just had the same problem
WD40 and Windex
Shorts and tee shirt
Problem solved 😂
Tried the you tube solutions,didn’t work. Hung old fashioned sticky fly strip near entry on a stick. It’s loaded with 🐝 bees
The defense dust last 8 months
so nothinng in the basement??
Correct
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!!!😎
Your description is almost better than a video!
Lol! This is awesome
You know its bad season for these when all of the insect proof Great Stuff is sold out at all the stores.
If your thinking your suit is over kill you’d laugh if you saw me, when I retired from the fire dept I was able to keep my turnout gear right down to the helmet and scott mask , I have the mask but obviously they didn’t give me the air tank so I cut out a screen and taped it over the front where the airline clicks in ,… my neighbors think I’m nutz but I’ve taken down thousands of bees and have never been stung when wearing this get up ,…lol
Ha! Sounds robust, avoiding stings is worth it.
I generally don’t like killing anything but lately they’ve been coming in through my windows mount ac and I have to keep my dog safe so I’ve got no other choice but to go to war
War it is!
If your overalls were either blue/black you could be Michael Myers for Halloween
Taking out murder hornets? 🤣
Yeah just got stung in the face trying to get them from inside the sideing
Ouch
Thank you for not putting a bunch of music in this video You started to but it wasn't very long That's what she said lol
Happy I pleased you and I admire your dedication to no music in videos @nomusicrc
them yellow jackets hurt i have got stung
#SuperDad 👍
Unfortunately, they will eventually be able to get through the foam ...in fact they will probably chew it up an use it to make their nest ... no saying dont use the foam just saying tonput it way back in the hole and the cementing the outside would probably be a better option..
No, the gear was not “overkill”-wasps are bad enough and yellow jackets can sting multiple times
you look like gary sinise
Indeed 🥸
Damn how much did you guys pay Gary Sinese to do this video for you? lol
The aerosol will make the dust harden and not work
These are like” nice Try human we like fancy wine expensive stuff not this cheap swell.” it seems bees are more sophisticated now when it comes to wine or anything sweet. bees are definitely a lot more intelligent they Already figured out how to open a soda bottle saw video of it.😂😂😂😂
Stupid me, I saw them increasing their population under my siding, then read they die off come late fall, so being late summer, I thought oh well, leave them be. Then I collected one in the house on my kitchen, then 2, then 3, then I see 4, oh no.... looking around there's a horde of 20 or more in the corner near the ceiling 😖. I had no spray, but went for what I once had success with, a regular spray bottle 1/2 full of water about a tablespoon of dish soap, I used what I had again, natural type. HIt the ones on my wall with a slightly wide spray , they drop with one or two squirts, then try to blast each one again as they begin to crawl, really about 3 sprays will do per wasp. They breathe through their exoskeleton so expire once coated with a soapy film, within the minute really. Then noticed the black dot up in the corner was not a dead bug but a hole seems they gnawed through my plaster wall 😖. Spray soapy into that hole then plugged with tin foil. Calling an exterminator first thing tomorrow, not quite so adventurous as you were..
Sounds like you had an adventure to me!
@@NaterTater Nooooo, ack! Literally, I am completely creeped out lol.. So all was quiet for 4 hrs but they're seriously starting to crawl around again.. no, okay, some of them are.. so my natural soap spray did not knock all of them out, but prob because I added water at some point and diluted the mix. Brushing them into the freezer now 😖
