When to Spray Wasp Nests & Which Are the Best Sprays to Use

Wasps frequently nest behind siding, vents, shutters, and other openings around the house's exterior during the summer months. These events can become quite a nuisance for some homeowners as the wasps interfere with normal daily activities. You can spray the wasps you see with a contact kill insecticide such as  Stryker Wasp & Hornet  or PT Wasp & Hornet Killer Freeze II for a quick knockdown. It can also be used to eradicate visible and easily accessible nests by spraying the nest from a distance.

Many wasp nests are hidden from sight, however, and those are more difficult to eradicate. Locate the opening to the nest by monitoring active wasps from a distance. Once you see the wasp land on the house, watch closely, and they'll often disappear into an opening. Depending on the type of opening, a  Pyrethrin insecticide with a crack and crevice tip such as  Stryker 54 Aerosol is useful for destroying the nest.
