Increasing the pressure on a spray rig and blasting a wasp or hornet nest is a tactic of the past. Using oil-based aerosols leave can leave a film on treated surfaces and unsightly residue.

Instead, use an extension pole with a scraper to knock down small nests, and then treat the nest on the ground to avoid spraying the sides of buildings and/or using a large amount of product. Apply your products wearing appropriate safety equipment to avoid being stung.

Bonus tip: When working from ladders, large or small, tie off the base of the ladder in case of any sudden movements to avoid falls.
