FOR SALE Wasp nest

[User_Dan]

A couple 38 wax bullets shot through a nest makes them quite agitated.

Supposedly the wasps and hornets hate the smell of vinegar. I know fleas do, I he’d to rip out some flea infested carpet once at a rental and hosed myself down with vinegar- it works. I’ll pay the annoying neighbor kid $20 to test the theory.

I've burnt out a few of those nests in my years. I also saw a neighbor after she ran over one with a riding mower. Those yellow jackets (what we call them) really did a number on her. A tomato paste can full of gasoline after dark fixed that problem!

I never used wasp nest over powder. How much of the wasp nest is needed for each shot?

I always used a wad about the size of a round ball for the gun, or slightly bigger. I used a wad over powder and over shot/ball.

Would there be interest in purchasing wasp nest for wadding?
View attachment 307836It’s about the size of a basket ball.
My preference is the outside paper but some folks prefer the comb, your choice

That’s not a wasp nest.
It’s a hornet’s nest.

I assume your being sarcastic?
There’s no way im collecting them in mid summer when there full of hornets.
I do know a few folks that have waited till a frost to collect the nest and bring them inside, where they warm up and swarm inside the house. Paper is a good insulator. It takes a couple of hard freezes to kill em off.
I prune professionally and find them in late winter in the trees. I’ve been collecting them and using them for years.

Tear the nest down after a good frost or two.
Put it in a large, heavy duty garbage bag.
Gather up the open end of the bag to where it is about 75% closed. Take some wasp and hornet spray and spray about 4 or 5 shots of about 5 seconds each down in the bag on the nest and the inside surfaces of the bag.
Twist tight, fold over, and tie the twisted “ neck “ tight. Put the bag in a safe place that stays above freezing and let the fumes from the spray do their work for about a month. There should not be any surviving insects at this point. You can now remove the nest from the bag and put it somewhere to air out for a very few days to get rid of the chemical smell.
I would not leave it out too long in case some other wasps or hornets want to re-populate it.
You might want to store it in another bag until use.

that’s right mr. know it all…
It’s a white faced hornets nest. Sometimes calf a bald faced hornet

I love to get up to the nests whether above ground or in it the ground after dark shoot the nests with break clean they fall right down dead. I’ve tried all kinds of raid and other products that say they shoot 10-20 feet and got stung. But the plain can of Break clean or klean kills them immediately

I will concede that wasp and hornet nests seem to be made out of the same kind of material.

No sarcasm. I put that detailed information in my post for the benefit of those who see an opportunity to get a nest, but have no experience dealing with such things. In our increasingly urbanized and suburbanized society fewer people know about things like this.
The procedure I laid out has worked for me several times.

Thanks all,
the nest material has all been claimed.

How are you do using it... since it's sold is it OK to say...

Try a pencil sharpener... makes nice stuffing too

Like the school grinder.

We used rocks as kids!

Either we grew up together or we had the same idiot friends.

got smashed in the face with a good one during a rock fight as a kid... that was it the first time last time I ever got into one of those.

It hurts bad

Is saw this thread a while back and remembered that there's a wasp nest back in the hedge. When I gave it a poke, a bird came rocketing out. I was a little startled, as my first thought was uh-oh that's a big wasp.. I let the bird keep it
