Insects quickly adapt to the changing ecological situation on the planet. And if a couple of decades ago, wasps and hornets seriously bothered only the villagers, and especially the beekeepers, now they are happy to build nests in the urban area.
Settling in the immediate vicinity of a person, they pose a danger to him. The bites of these aggressive insects can cause a strong allergic reaction, and in rare cases, lead to death. Therefore, the question of which hornet remedy to buy in order to say goodbye to dangerous neighbors is not at all idle.

Wasp trap
Bait trap.
Despite the fact that wasps are beneficial insects, their stay near people can cloud the rest. A simple trap, which can be made from a plastic bottle and bait from sour jam, kvass, honey with water, watermelon juice or compote, will help protect your home, porch, summer kitchen or picnic meadow from these insects. The resulting trap should be hung on a tree or placed near places frequently visited by wasps.
Destruction of nests
It is necessary to destroy wasps along with the nests in protective clothing (a beekeeper's suit or something similar made of dense fabric and a mesh on the face). The event is held at night when all the wasps are sleeping in their hive.
If the nest is hanging from the ceiling or on a tree, you can pull a bag over it, having previously poured an insecticidal agent into it. The stretched bag is either taped to the surface or tightened immediately after the socket is torn off the base.The wasps in the bag die after a few hours, after which they are thrown away with the nest.
The photo shows a way to destroy wasp nests using a package
It is convenient to burn out nests in the ground and in stone buildings with fire. To do this, the nest is doused with any flammable liquid (gasoline, kerosene) and immediately set on fire. Adult insects and larvae die in the fire almost instantly.
A nest located in the ground can be flooded with water. To do this, you need to pour 1-2 buckets of water into the hole that the wasps made, preferably boiling water. The entrance to the hole must be covered with a stone so that all insects remain inside and choke.
Earth wasps can also be sprayed with liquid insecticides. After such a step, the entrance to the hole must be plugged with a piece of cloth soaked in the same insecticide so that the insects cannot get out of the nest in time.
Poison for ants
Fighting ants at home.
A bait with boric acid will help get rid of ants that have settled in the house. To prepare it, mix the yolk of a hard-boiled egg with honey and 20 grams of boric acid. Mix all the ingredients, roll into small balls and spread around the apartment. The ants will quickly divide the poison among themselves and after a few days the entire ant nest will disappear along with the female.
Bait preparation
Boric acid is a poisonous ingredient added to the trap to increase efficiency. Without its use, a wasp trapped in a trap will remain alive for some time, which makes it difficult to clean the trap. But in order for the insect to fly inside, it must be lured with a tasty liquid that exudes a pleasant aroma for it. For this, they usually use:
- honey solution: 1 spoon in a glass of water;
- jam diluted in water (it is better if it is sour);
- light beer;
- fermented fruit compote;
- fruit or berry syrup.
You can also throw spoiled fruit and fruit slices into the liquid. This will cause additional fermentation and, as a result, an increase in the odor attractive to wasps.
In a solution of boric acid, you can moisten small pieces of meat, and then lay them out on the site.
To kill more individuals, using boric acid against wasps, it is recommended not only to pour the bait inside the trap, but also to lubricate the funnel or the surface around the "entrance" to the trap with liquid. This will attract more individuals. And if some of the wasps "change their minds" to climb into the trap, a toxic substance will still remain on their paws. The insect will die on its own, and will infect its relatives upon contact.
Boric acid addition
To prepare a working solution with an insecticidal effect, you will need to dilute 10 g (1 sachet) in 1 liter of water. The powder is thoroughly mixed until its crystals are completely dissolved in water. The resulting liquid should be added approximately 1 tablespoon to each trap. Insects that fall into it will be paralyzed and will soon die.
It is not recommended to use a ready-made alcohol solution of a substance sold in pharmacies at a concentration of 3% in small vials: insects can be scared off by the pungent smell of alcohol.
Boric acid will also help in the fight against wasps that have built a nest in the ground. This is typical for the "earthy" species of insects. To destroy them, the hole and the soil around the nest are spilled with a 10 liter bucket of water, in which 10 sachets (or 100 g) of white powder are diluted, respectively.
Application methods
The drug is used in several ways:
- In powder (crumbles in the habitats of parasites and on the paths of their movement).
- In a solution of water (distilled or boiled).
- As bait elements based on various products.
The first of these options is considered the most effective.Among the most favorite habitats of pests are water sources, food, trash cans, baseboards, the insides of cabinets, etc. Since the powder is not attractive for insects in its pure form, it is necessary to sprinkle all surfaces over which parasites can pass. The same applies to the use of an aqueous solution.
Lures with this poison are made independently or purchased ready-made. Almost all types of products loved by insects can be used for them (jam, sugar, honey, minced meat or fish, etc.). It is important that the product used has a distinct odor. In the form of rolled up small balls or a mixture on saucers, baits are placed in the right places of the dwelling.
Hornets and bees - how to protect an apiary
Peaceful coexistence of man and hornet is quite possible when their houses are located far from each other. And the neighborhood of large wasps and bees is completely unacceptable. Predators love to eat honey and its gatherers. They grab the bees on their way to the hive or during the flight for nectar. Insects carry their prey to the hive, where they tear and feed the larvae. A large number of hornets in the apiary causes irreparable damage to it.
Information. Beekeepers are very hostile towards representatives of the wasp family. Not surprisingly, predators behave like wolves in a sheepfold. One individual can devour up to 30 bees.
Who are the hornets
The family of social wasps is a colony of insects living in large families of up to several hundred individuals. It is rallied around the egg-laying uterus. Working females and males obtain food for the larvae and the queen. Hornets are the largest representatives of the wasp family. The body size of the male is 18-24 mm, of the uterus - 30-35 mm, the Asian species reaches 55 mm. Outwardly, hornets are similar to their congeners, but noticeably surpass them in size.
The color of the hornet is distinguished by the addition of brown on the back and base of the abdomen. The main signs characteristic of wasps are also present in them - a thin waist, membranous wings, strong jaws, a sting with poison.
The best sprays for killing wasps and hornets
There are several sprays that have firmly established themselves in the ranking of the best hornets and wasps.

Additional actions for effective destruction
Wasps do not tolerate pungent odors, smoke. You can drive them out of your home in this way. When insects are located in a personal plot, in a vegetable garden, it is necessary to make a fire nearby. So that the smoke gets on their house. The pungent smell will not allow insects to approach their home, and those inside it will rush to get out. Thus, they will make it possible to get to the uterus with eggs. Destruction is carried out mechanically - just crush.
Products with a pungent odor have the same effect. For example, you can use kerosene, gasoline. Pouring over insects. If it is located in a garden area, throw a match, set it on fire. In this way, you can get rid of pests instantly.
In some cases, folk remedies are much more effective. Hanging nest on the balcony, under the roof of buildings, you can simply drown. Take a bucket of water, add 400 ml of detergent to it, stir well, but do not foam. Arm yourself with a protective suit, get close to the pest cocoon, quickly dip it into a bucket of water. Detergent is necessary so that the wings stick together, insects cannot fly away.
The second option is to vacuum. Turn on the vacuum cleaner at full power. Tighten all insects in a bag, crush the rest of them. Gently take out the bag, dip it in water.
Wasps in the neighborhood of a person is always an unpleasant phenomenon. If their number is rapidly increasing, it is necessary to start looking for a nest, to take emergency measures.
Release form, properties, scope
Initially, this substance, produced in the form of a white, odorless, fine-crystalline powder, was used as a fairly effective antiseptic. But gradually, in this capacity, it was replaced by more modern formulations, and the main application of the tool was found precisely in the fight against pests and parasites.

Boric acid has no taste, it dissolves well in water.The scope of use is quite wide - it has shown itself well in use against all types of crawling insects that penetrate human habitation - bugs, cockroaches, ants, etc. No less effective is the derivative of this substance - borax, obtained as a result of the reaction of boric acid with sodium compounds.
How to apply
Assembling a bee nest for the winter - wintering outside
To safely carry out measures to destroy insect nests, you should adhere to the following rules to protect yourself:

Spraying aerosol should be carried out in dry weather, without wind. If these conditions are met, the wasps will be destroyed faster, since the concentration of poisons will be the highest.
Spray in calm weather
You should also know in what part of the day the effect of destruction will be greatest. Since insects search for food during the day, then after sunset there is a larger number of wasps in the hive, during this period an insecticide should be applied.
The first task in getting rid of a hive is to estimate the distance to the nest. The maximum distance of the drug action is six meters, therefore, the person should be at a shorter distance. When the hive is located high, the aerosol copes well with the task.
Note! Substances similar to Moskitol, but with a shorter range of action, are not so safe to use. If you are close to the nest, there is a risk of getting bites, and if you go up to a height, you can fall.
To begin with, you should well illuminate the place where the nest is located and direct the stream of substance into the hole below. The poison will poison the wasps and they will die, some inside the hive and others outside.
Disadvantages of the drug

Hornets nest
Insects have spread throughout the European part of Russia, they can be found in Siberia, Transbaikalia and Primorye. In the spring, with stable warm weather, the hornet uterus makes exploratory flights, choosing a place for a nest. She is looking for a secluded hideaway that will protect her family from bad weather and enemies. A favorite place to build a nest is tree hollows. In their absence, the uterus begins construction under the roof of a house or outbuilding. The bark of young branches mixed with saliva serves as the material for construction. In the cells of the honeycomb, the uterus lays eggs. After a week, larvae appear from them. The Queen feeds the first generation alone. By July, working individuals grow up, which take care of the nest. The peak number of insects is observed in August-September. At this time, young queens appear, and mating with males occurs.
Attention. The life expectancy of working individuals is 3-4 weeks, the uterus lives for 1 year.

Mosquito from wasps
With a fairly frequent appearance in the garden or garden of wasps, one can suspect that their hive is located nearby. To locate the nest, it is necessary to inspect the site.
Hives are divided into two types. The first type is open, it is characterized by cells that are located outside. The second is called closed and looks like a gray ball with a hole at the bottom. To get rid of wasps on the territory there is only one way - to destroy the nest, for these purposes Moskitol is used to protect against wasps.

Wasps in the attic
The product is resistant to ultraviolet rays and high temperatures. The studies carried out prove that the insect organism does not resist this type of poisons.
Description and danger of the insect
Hornets live in colonies in self-built nests, which can reach significant sizes. Outwardly, they look like wasps, only larger.
Hornets are quite peaceful, but if you wave your arms in their presence or approach their nest at a distance of 2-3 meters, it can be perceived by them as a danger... As a result, they become very aggressive and attack in defense. Hornet bites are very painful, as their venom contains a harmful toxin - acetylcholine. In the presence of allergies, "bites" can lead to edema (of varying degrees) or even anaphylactic shock. There are known deaths from the bites of these insects.
