Wasp Control Tips
When removing a wasp nest, it is important to be extremely careful since wasps are most aggressive when their nest is being threatened. Wear protective clothing including long pants that are taped closed at the bottom, long sleeves, gloves, and a hat that covers the head and face if possible. It is best to apply insecticide to the nest after dusk when all the wasps are in the nest and activity is low. Existing Nest: The best way to get rid of a wasp nest is to use an insecticide that contains a freezing agent. PT Wasp and Hornet Killer Freeze, Wasp X Spray, or Bonide Wasp & Hornet Aerosol are good options for nest elimination since the freezing agent keeps the wasps from stinging. Warning: If you choose an insecticide without a freezing agent to eliminate an existing nest, never spray from a ladder, and use a sprayer that can spray from a distance.

Best Wasp Products for Different Scenarios
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so it’s important to choose wasp products based on the nesting site, severity of the infestation, and accessibility. Consider the following types of solutions:
- Aerosol wasp killing products – Ideal for quick knockdown of exposed nests. These sprays allow you to treat from a safe distance and work instantly.
- Residual concentrates – Diluted and applied to surfaces where wasps land or try to build. These provide extended protection over time.
- Insecticidal dusts – Applied into voids, cracks, and underground nests. Dusts continue working for weeks and are excellent for hard-to-reach areas.
- Wasp repellent products – These discourage nesting activity without killing. Useful for long-term prevention around homes, patios, and commercial properties.
- Protective equipment – Vital for DIYers treating active nests. Suits, gloves, and veils help ensure safety during applications.
When selecting wasp control products, consider the time of year, species, and whether you're reacting to an active nest or taking a preventive approach. Our team is available to help you select the right mix of products for fast, effective results.

Pest Control for Wasps: DIY Tips
For successful pest control for wasps, begin by identifying the species and locating the nest. Treat early in the morning or at dusk when activity is lowest. Use directional sprays with a safe standoff distance, especially when addressing elevated or enclosed nests. Follow up with residual applications or dust to ensure newly emerged wasps are also affected.
In addition to killing active nests, prevention is key. Use wasp prevention products such as decoy nests, natural repellents, and residual sprays to make your property less attractive. Patch any crevices, seal garbage bins, and minimize outdoor food exposure to reduce attractants.
DIY wasp control is entirely achievable with the right tools and preparation. We’re here to make sure you succeed safely.
