Wasps In Siding

Wasps are nesting under the vinyl siding of my home where the foundation meets.

Wasps in siding.

A hive of yellow jackets near your home can turn yard work and outdoor recreation into highly hazardous experiences. I ve tried sprays but find i must invert the can to reach the nest. In our tests all of the foaming sprays left residue but nothing. Having these pests in the siding of your home can be even more dangerous as they can find ways into your home and pose a threat while you eat and sleep.

Paper wasps often build their nests under the eaves of a house so a spray is likely to get all over the siding. The siding has many moisture weep holes i believe this relief cut simply allows for a very clean overlap of sections of siding. If wasps have already established nests in your siding this year you may not want to install this solution until they have died off in the fall or wait to early next spring. Watching from afar using binoculars if necessary will enable you to get away quickly in the event.

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. My husband thought i was nuts when i told him they were squeezing into the small holes of the siding. We saw they were forming a small nest and my husband waited till dark to knock it down and leave let it in the bag for. The easiest and safest way is to locate and monitor the wasps suspected access point into the siding during the late afternoon.

Last summer i noticed there were paper wasps around the outside of our house back porch on the side of the sun room. Even after the nest has been removed stay vigilant and keep an eye out for new nests.
