Wasps killers--mix dishwashing detergent and some type of sweet soda

Question

I have wasps on my porch and someone said to use a mixture of Dove dishwashing detergent and (I don't know what else).

Elaine Roybal · Answer

Make a wasp catcher with an empty water or soda bottle.  Cut the bottle almost in half and turn the top end upside down in the lower half of the bottle.  I used a hot glue gun to make sure it didn't separate.  In the lower half, I mixed 1/2 cup of water, 4-5 drops of dawn dish soap, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of honey.  I had this on my patio and the first day the bottle was almost full of wasps.  I have a regular wasp trap and all I put in it was a cotton ball with honey on it and caught hundreds of wasps.

To prepare the solution, pour at least 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid into the hose-end sprayer, attach the sprayer to the hose and get the water going until suds begin to form. The soapy water drowns the wasps if sprayed with enough force into the nest in a manner that water on its own cannot. Wasps' exoskeletons prevent water from entering their bodies, but the soap breaks down the surface tension of water enough so that it ultimately drowns the wasps in the nest.

Choose the proper time to spray the nest

The evening is the best time to spray the nest, anytime after dusk when all the wasps have come home, and there is relatively little activity.

Maintain a safe distance

Maintain a safe enough distance while remaining close enough to flood the nest with a powerful spray of soapy water. Make sure that there are no obstacles in your escape route if necessary. If there are any concerns about doing this on your own, consult a professional.
