WASPS!!!! How to get them out

We have wasp nest coming up everywhere.
How do we control them other than spraying when we see them.
Any good repellents or traps?

Talstar in bushes around property

The easiest thing to do is just to spray them when you see them. Wait until dusk when they are all on the nest and put them down.

Don't have bushes or really much vegetation other than grass.
They build nest on our camper, under and around steps, lawn mower roll over bars everywhere.
Guessing talstar in the grass around those areas

Its dumb but it works. Hanging brown paper bags puffed up and tied to kind of assemble a wasp nest keeps most wasps and dirt dauber's away from our back patio and pool area.

Demon.
Suspend.
Talstar.
I used to fight this and went nuclear. A blend of Talstar and Suspend sprayed everywhere has limited my encounters to random wasps flying through the yard.
Very satisfying when they land on a treated surface knowing they just signed their own death warrant.

As stated, Suspend SC is perfect for your application.
For the record, the bug-a-salt guns do not kill wasps, but acts more as a formal commencement of a duel.

I walk around my house and do this once a week with a bottle of soapy water. Puts em down almost instantly.

yes soapy water it just blast the nest with the hose. No need to soak your house with poison

They like to make nests in my eaves. I spray the eaves first part of April with talstar and no more nests. I retreat about every two months. I still see some flying around, but not a huge congregation of them. I have taken out a few with the bug-a-salt but you gotta be quick on the follow up shot.

Those little yellow hanging wasp traps you can get on Amazon actually work pretty well at trapping and killing wasps. Only problem is I suspect I’m just attracting wasps from all over the neighborhood cuz those things really fill up.

This has probably been shared before but worth repeating. Go to tractor supply or local feed store and buy some generic bifenthrin 7.9% (talstar is the name brand). Mix it in a pump up sprayer 1 oz. to 1 gallon of water. Spray the entire underside of the eaves of your house, bushes/hedges and anywhere else around your house where you are seeing nests. No more wasps. Repeat in a few months while wasps are active. It's easy and it works for other bugs too.
You can also use Suspend SC or Demon WP or there are several other good ones but that generic bifenthrin is probably the cheapest.
