Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Do you want to prevent wasps and hornets from building nests on your house? Instead of reaching for chemical insecticides, fill a spray bottle with soap and water and spray the nest directly. This simple method works because the soapy mixture clogs the insects' breathing pores while also creating a slick surface that helps break down the nest. The residual soap can also make the area slippery enough to discourage new nests from forming in the same spot. For best results, spray in the evening or early morning, when wasps and hornets are less active and inside the nest.
