Title: wasps
Post by: Col Collyer on March 08, 2011, 07:58:29 PM
 Looking for advice
" breaking in" some new neighbors, and last night i introduced them to our bees. Now these people are Asians, so their English is about as good as my Chinese !  They showed me their "bees" You guessed it.... wasps.
  The question is, what do I nuke the wasps with that is safe with my  bees, they are about 60 feet away
Thanks
Col

Soapy water.   Fire.   Smash them.  Anything like those will work fine.

Get the cheap wasp and bee killer from bunnings. Works a treat, works from about 3m away.
