<blockquote><blockquote>The most challenging nests to control are those that are concealed in voids behind walls or in attics. Often, the only evidence of the nest is wasps flying back and forth through a crack or hole in the home.<br /><br />Aerosol insecticides usually do not work very well against hidden nests. The best method is to apply a small amount of insecticidal dust (dusts are less commonly available in stores than aerosols; be sure any dust you plan to use is labelled for use in homes). You may need to drill small (about 1/8 inch) holes to deliver the insecticide into the nest area. If the product you are using does not have a built-in applicator, you can use a plastic container with a tube tip or spout, such as an empty liquid detergent bottle, to "puff" the product into the void.<br />When treating wasp nests hidden in building voids, use one of the following insecticide dusts: *<br /><br /> * bendiocarb<br /> * chlorpyrifos<br /> * boric acid (will be slow acting) <br /><br />If you would rather hire someone experienced to exterminate a wasp nest, talk to a reliable pest control service.<br /><br />Concealed nests that are treated in the fall may force wasps into the home. If there is no immediate danger, it may be best to wait until freezing temperatures kill the nest. Do not seal the nest entrance until you are sure all wasps are dead. Closing the nest too early can force survivors into your home. When the wasps are dead, seal the entrance with caulk or something similar to prevent a new wasp queen from using the same entrance to build a new nest next year. </blockquote><br />looks like I better leave it to the professionals to deal with. </blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://aps.naples.net/community/NFNWebpages/pix/polo/caddyshack.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://dvd.themanroom.com/images/reviews/459.1.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://weblog.live.advance.net/mtlogs/mlive_flintjournalextra/images/House-Explosion-03-13.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /> <blockquote> sween - there is a steady stream of them, I think it's yellow jackets.
