Just throw a fogger in there a few weeks before season and you're good to go.

If have not tried it, Bengal Roach spray ids by far the most effective wasp control I have ever used. orderless and safe for pets, just apply once every 6 months and no wasps or any bugs. I just go bt every blind, shed, etc in July, open door and spray for 20 seconds close door and leave. If there are any in Oct, a quick follow up as you leave the blind from a hunt and your good till next year. Nothing has ever worked better than this. It is not a contact spray, takes an hour!

Got em coach! No more wasps in my stand! When I was picking up my hog panels last week, the place was out of Demon WP so I just picked up more bug bombs and a couple more cans of wasp spray. Although when I looked in the stand 2 weeks ago I swear the whole roof was covered in nests, but there weren't as many as I expected this second go around. There were still quite a few though. Got there fairly early while it was still cool out, set off one bug bomb with one hand and sprayed the nests with the other hand. After season is up, there will be new windows made and the whole stand sealed. There were close to this many I killed outside the stand as well. After I shut the door I stood by a window with a can of spray and picked them off as they were coming out the windows.

Darn ZK, you built a wasp nest with all those openings! they just took your cue I was thinking you had 1, maybe 2 nest, not "trimmed" out in them!!

Well, when dad built this blind, he had some plexi glass for the windows out at the old lease. When we got off that place, I stole the blind and took it out to my FIL's place. While in transit, ever single piece of plexi glass busted, so I measured the holes and went home to cut some plywood for a quick fix last year...I don't know what I measured because as you can see they were way off lol and the holes weren't cut very square. After this season i'll work on it quite a bit to where I wont have this problem anymore.

That's what you get for stealing from your dad Wood may have shrunk as it lost moisture, may be why the fit is so loose now. There is a bright side, if you are hunting and it is getting boring, you can sit and wonder when the one you missed, will fall down your collar and sting the hell outa ya!!

lets hope not. I knocked all of the nests down after they were all dead. I'll be back out the weekend before season starts and make sure there aren't any new ones up.
