When you come home and find a wasp or hornet, or several of these pests in or near your property, all you want to do is get rid of them. There is a safe and natural way of doing this. By following the procedure listed, your wasp problem should go away in no time.
Step 1: Mix together a solution of three tablespoons of dishwashing soap and one quart of water. This will kill your unwanted creatures by removing their protective coating found on their bodies and wings.
Step 2: If a nest is involved, you can splash in a mop bucket but unfortunately, angered wasps might get away from the soap mixture before the desired affect occurs.
Step 3: Fill a super-soaker gun or a garden sprayer that shoots up to 10 feet or more with the mixture, this will provide a faster way by spraying the wasps.
Tips
- Be sure to get away from the nest quickly after it is sprayed to avoid being stung.

Warnings
- If you have an allergy to wasps, have someone else do this job.
