Wasp nest

[Fitzjess21]

Alright guys, need some advice...

I found a huge wasp nest in my sprinkler valve box yesterday. It's the size of a basketball! Any advice on how to eliminate this damn thing? My first Google search was "diy flamethrower". Now that I've thought it out I'm thinking I seal the lid up and toss a grenade "bug bomb" in there and see if that kills most of them. Or i spray the shit out of this thing with wasp killer.

Spray the shit out of that thing. Do it either at night or early in the morning when they are less active.

Just pour gasoline in there and either light it on fire or seal it completely..either way, they dying.

That wasp killer stuff works extremely fast & powerfully. I haven't had a nest that size, but have demolished smaller colonies with no problem. IMO cover the whole thing except for a small opening & empty half a can into there. Then close it up for a few minutes, and you'll be good to go.

Gasoline works great, no need to light it, the fumes will do the job. Early morning works best, less active and everybody is home.

Get a beekeeper suit and load the nest intact into a sealed container. Drive safe container to Jim's house, ring the doorbell, and when he opens the door throw the container into his house such that the lid comes off

Gasoline is your friend. Put some down there and seal it up. Wasps will be gonzo. No need to even light it. Fumes will get them

 

[BingoDingo]

You should light the gas though...just because you deserve the fun...

And the sprinkler system will automatically put it out easily & quickly afterward. Foolproof plan.

Spray the shit out of it and film it while you do it for us

I concur. If there's a reservoir, pour gas inside, seal it and wait. The vapor will kill them, then rinse/shopvac it out.

Wasp spray.
Gas works but is only an option if you’re an idiot.

The bug bombs work well.

I like this idea

I vote for the flamethrower.
