How to Kill Digger Wasps

Several hundred types of wasps fall into the "digger" category. Beginning in spring and lasting through the summer months, the digger wasps emerge from the ground where they have spent the winter. The adults will fly out of the ground as the soil warms and begin looking for nests to hatch their young. They can be found in trees, porches, awnings and in attics.

Things You'll Need

• ½-inch tapered plugs
• Deltamethrin dust
• Hand duster

Instructions

To Kill the Wasps

1. Put the deltamethrin dust in the hand duster.

2. Spray each hole three to five times with the hand duster.

3. Insert the tapered plug to ensure no wasps escape the nest before receiving a lethal dose of deltamethrin.

Tips & Warnings

• Spray the nest in the evenings after all of the adults return for the night. Wear clothes that will prevent any attack from mad wasps.
