[RE-wrenches] Wasps

[Dave Palumbo]

If there is enough space so that you can get at the back of the array with a
smooth edged wood or plastic spatula like tool and a large garbage bag you
can remove the wasp hive manually. Must be done at first morning light when
it's cool out. Get the whole thing captured in the trash bag before they
know what's going on. Works very well as they are inactive until the sun
comes up. I still wear gloves, longsleeves, turtle neck shirt and a
bugnetting hat just to be careful. Then what to do with the bag of wasps?
Make sure it is double bagged and secured with duct tape etc.

Thanks for the input everyone. She's pretty set on getting rid of them. I'll
recommend hosing them down with water at night. I think she's going to want
to go chemical, though. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with sprays
damaging the backsheet or not.

Thanks,

Hi Wrenches,

I have a client who has developed quite a problem with wasps behind her
array. Does anyone have experience getting rid of them? I'm afraid of the
possibility of sprays damaging the backsheet. Is that a legitimate concern? 

Thanks,




Dana
