re: Wasp in your home.... UPDATED 3/31/14

Put little mesh screens (like the kind you probably got in your windows) over all of your air vents as that's how they're getting in from the attic (they're more than likely in the attic). Get high strength insecticide and a face mask/other clothing if you don't wanna get stung and just go spray the whole place down. Or call in an exterminator. Or go get some of that good stuff that shoots 15' (I think the company is like Vaq or Ortho or something), and just spray at the nest and hopefully take that out and then scrape it off when they're all dead. And make sure to patch off in the attic wherever they got in from.
Just my 2 cents, hopefully some of it's useful.
EDIT:
Also for extra protection spray that aerosol stuff that comes in a can all around your mailbox, door, anywhere you could imagine them building a nest (like around it not directly where you touch, duh).

Looks like they've already been sprayed. They dead. And they are stuck.

spray the hole they are coming in and out of. Soak it down real good and you should be ok.

Nope, it's a 2 story. I found it crazy that they would have a place in the roof that I couldn't access. Must be some work of great craftsmen of spanish decent.

quote:I had yellow jackets build a nest in the wall and attic last summer. I had my AC replaced and the hole where the AC lines ran into the house were not sealed off properly and it didn't take long for those frickers to build a nest. I went through about 10 cans of wasp spray before I decided to buy those bug bombs and fumigated the wall from the outside where they were entering the house. I went through about 6 cans of that before they quit crawling out of the hole. What I believe is the queen was one of the last to crawl out. Luckily they did not have a chance to build anything in the attic yet, but I killed about 50 individuals up there alone. I must have killed 1,000 of those damn things after it was all over. The pic posted is what I believe was the queen
Anyone ever had wasp invade their home??

Like when you find them in your deer stand opening day... Hold on, that was nowhere near dormant...

Have a story like that. Luckily it was cold because all I heard was the SOBs falling and hitting the floor of the box stand. I left everything I had in the stand and am still afraid to hunt it.

where's your sig brah?
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:07 pm to jimbeam
Apparently its "too big" 
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:11 pm to CarRamrod
I refuse to hunt a box blind until it's been bug bombed at least twice. I climbed into one opening day before to find it full of black widders 
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:19 pm to ForeverLSU02
I always bomb my stands and take down nest before opening day. Those focker just sleep on the wall. I killed over 30 one morning with my GPS user manual. Smooshed the crap outta them bastards!!!

found a wasp nest on my stand while going hog hunting back in september. decided to get down and walk down the road a little further. not 100 feet later I came upon 6 or 7 hogs and got a couple of them, wasps actually helped me out that day.

100 wasps? We ain't talking about one nest than brah. Exterminate with extreme prejudice.

How'd you get them wasp to pose for that picture???
To the OP,
Spray this around the overhang of your roof around your house. You won't have dirt daubers either.

I actually use Suspend SC. I had a black widow problem, they gone now. I don't have wasp or dirt dobbers anywhere else. But, my roof sophets are about 25' up. My home is 2 stories and has a 5' raised elevation. Is that stuff any better than suspend sc??
