Need a 1-time Wasp Spray on Exterior of Ranch
 
Any recommendations for somebody to do a 1-time service to spray 10-12 wasp nests on exterior walls of our ranch home in Rio Ponderosa. Seems that Massey and Dean don't do 1-time pest control services. We are seasonal residents and our neighbors have pointed out the wasps have been busy this year.

Go to Ace Hardware and buy a can of Wasp and Hornet spray it will shoot over ten feet. As a painter for over 50 years I can attest to it's effectiveness. Wait a day then knock down the nest. Len

Wasp freeze aerosol. Cheaper and just as good as a pro. Early morning or early evening/sunset is best time.

Since we are up north for the summer, I'm not in the area or otherwise would spray the nests. So just wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a service that can do it before we return in October. Neighbors, I know, would appreciate the nests being sprayed earlier than later.

Never heard of a long lasting wasp spray or a spray to prevent them.

How about your home watch.

Good thread, thanks.

They want to kill the wasp that are there. Never said long term.

You can probably have the house power washed, this will get rid of the wasps and the nests, just an idea.

I thought wasps were out of their nests and busy during the day.
And that's why nests are usually destroyed at night - so wasps won't rebuild their nest in the same location?
Actually, I don't have a clue about wasps, except I took allergy shots for six years, and I carry two epi pens.

I suggest you ask the experts, Egner's Power Washing, link provided.

Your neighbors point it out to you but aren't willing to help their neighbor by taking 5 minutes to spray them?
Heck, pm the address and I'll go do it.

Are they wasps, or bees. We has a hive in our garage that I thought was wasps, turned out it was bees. Had to have the bee whisper come out take the hive and the bees. You can’t kill them.
