The professional products in our California/New York Wasp Control Kit provide both a quick knockdown of wasps and hornets and residual activity to prevent new infestations. You should always work to Identify the pest you are treating and conduct a thorough Inspection of the property before using insecticides so that you can have the most successful Wasp Treatment possible.
As with all pests, practice good sanitation around the yard to reduce nesting sites and to Prevent wasp, hornet, and yellow jacket infestations. Taking some time to trim trees and shrubs, remove or reduce piles of yard waste, empty collected water sites, and clean outdoor trash cans will minimize the possibility of wasps taking over your property.
It is also important to treat nests quickly to keep the populations of these dangerous pests low.
**Always be cautious when treating for wasps and other stinging insects. Wear protective clothing including long pants, long sleeves, socks, closed-toed shoes, and a hat, or consider a Professional Bee Suit for the best protection. This is also important if the nest is in a confined area and/or in a position from which it may be difficult to move quickly. If you have severe reactions to stings, we recommend hiring a professional to treat for you.**
How to Apply the Wasp Control Kit
We recommend treating for wasps and hornets in the late evening when wasps are less active and most likely to be in the nest. This reduces both the risk of stings and the need for retreatment.
Treating a nest directly will always have the best results. When treating wasps or hornets, you will only achieve complete control if you can locate and treat the nest.
STEP 1 - SPRAY - Onslaught FastCap
*Onslaught FastCap is liquid concentrate that must be diluted in water and applied with a pressurized sprayer such as a Chapin 1 gallon hand pump sprayer.
*The micro-encapsulated formulation of Onslaught makes this an ideal insecticide for areas that receive a lot of direct sunlight.
*If you are not already wearing gloves, we recommend wearing gloves such as Nitrile Chemical Resistant Gloves when handling, mixing, and applying insecticides.
*To mix Onslaught, first shake the concentrate well. Add 1/3 -1/2 of the desired volume of water to your spray tank, add the desired amount of Onslaught FastCap, then shake or agitate the tank. Add the remaining volume of water, then agitate again before spraying.
*To measure the Onslaught FastCap, tilt the bottle toward the small reservoir, and fill to the desired volume line. Unscrew only the cap on the angled side of the small reservoir to dispense the concentrate.
*Use 1 oz. of Onslaught FastCap concentrate per gallon of water to treat wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets.
*If the nest poses an immediate threat, first treat a 2-3 foot area surrounding the nest with a fan or cone spray.
*Adjust spray nozzle to a fine pin stream, then spray directly into the center of the nest.
*Once the application has dried, remove and destroy the nest, if possible.
*If the nest cannot be removed, repeat treatment in 14 days to kill any newly emerged insects.
*Always keep other people and pets out of the treatment area while treating and until treatment is dry.
*If needed, use any remaining amount of Onslaught solution to treat the surrounding area or as a perimeter or ornamental treatment for general pest control.
*Do not apply Onslaught more than once every 14 days.
*Do not store finished solution for more than 24 hours. Store unused concentrate in a cool, dry area out of reach of children and pets and out of direct sunlight.
