Wasps are nesting under the vinyl siding of my home, where the foundation meets. I've tried sprays but find I must invert the can to reach the nest. When I invert the can and spray, all I get is the aerosol, no poison. I've tried pumping diatomaceous earth into the area, but I'm not getting to the nest and the powder is obviously missing at least some of the wasps. I need an effective poison with a delivery system I can use close up and spraying upward under the siding at about 3-4 inches off the ground.
Our most popular dust for bees/wasp is Tempo Dust. You will need a hand duster to apply it with. It usually works within 24 to 48 hours, and will provide a better transfer effect that diatomaceous earth. You want to go up to the opening where they are flying in and out of at dusk or at night when they are not active and puff twice directly into the hole. Then pull the duster out and puff directly at the hole to cover the opening from about 5 inches away. This is the most efficient and fastest way to eliminate a bee/yellow jacket/wasp nest.
