Today my baby sister got stung by a wasp 10 times! I was pretty freaked out because I didn’t know what to do. So I went online and found many different ways to help. One was you could put tender meat on it and then put water on it.

gonna try something tonight my dad told me. i have one in a cedar tree close to home. he said take a long pole and attatch oil soaked rags. then light and burn ‘em out. at dark they wont come out and you kill everyone of them.

Had a wasp nest under my eavestroph (in the facia) at the corner of my house (a good 1 foot overhang). Couldn’t see how big, but there was a large amound of traffic going in and out. I used the foam sprays several times, no luck. They were going in through a dime size gap in the metal, and also between the brick house and where the metal facia meet as there was a gap just big enough for them to crawl up through.

I got this insulating puddy from a local hardware store (HD)for $2. Apparently its for conduit piping. Its grey, very workable, and the bugs / rodents don’t like it. Anyways, its just like playdough and you make it whatever shape you want. I rolled thing strips for the long gaps between the brick and facial and pressed it up in, and made a dime size plug and wedged it up in the hole. Once plugged up, I found a few smaller holes just big enough for the foam injector to fit up against and sprayed more foam up inside the facia to kill off some that are trapped inside.

Trick is to do it when its dark. Not dusk! Not almost dark, but dark! You’ll know when the time is right as there is virtually no hornet traffic!

The stuff is great to use, its tacky so it really sticks well, and you can work it and force it into gaps and it will take the shape nicely.

The next day Ive seen a few hornets that werent in the nest trying to return. They seem frustrated, are hanging around the area a bit, but they can’t get in (OR OUT) They don’t seem to want to chew through or have anything to do with this stuff.

Try it…let me know how it works!

So what is the answer to the orginial question? Which was, how do I get rid of hornets that have a nest INSIDE my vinyl siding next to my front door? I have the same problem.

I was trimming a yew shrub with scissors, when I was stung twice by what I now know from my exterminator is hornets. There’s a very large nest in the yew. A home remedy that worked for me is making a paste with a bit of water and Adolph’s meat tenderizer. I’ve had mine for many years and it still worked! Keep some on hand.

MY NEIGHBOR HAS A HUGE HORNETS NEST RIGHT OUTSIDE HER FRONT DOOR. SHE HAD A HANGING PLANTER THERE AND NEVER NOTICED IT UNTIL SHE TOOK THE PLANT DOWN. SHE HAS TRIED TO SPRAY IN THE HOLE BUT NOT SO SURE THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. ALSO WAS TOLD TO DO IT AT NIGHT. WE JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. NEED YOUR HELP???

to everyone that has been stung by bees or fireants. buy you a bottle of TEA TREE OIL! It comes from the melaleuca tree and the stuff is miracalous!!! I use it on any kinda bites especially bees stings and fireants and even chigger bites. it works the bites will not swell when you put this tea tree oil on them. its totally natural and comes from a tree. so its not harmful, but its not the best smelling stuff out there. but hey im willing to stink for a while if it helps!! you buy it from walmart or health food store same thing around 6.00 a bottle.

Maybe this will help someone - but i have found that the instant you get stung take some tobacco(if you have any) wet it and stick it on the bite. It is a very common thing to do where i am from and a lot people recommend it. It helps draw out some of the venom and/or soreness i believe.

today i saw one it was very sad cause it couldent fly but it didnt sting me and my mom.

I got stung 2 days ago I could not id the insect as it was on the side of my neck and I kept trying to make it fall so it wouldn’t go down my clothing, don’t know what it was but it felt like a knife was cutting my neck over and over. Now I had a red swollen area and felt like there was something in the area, I did some surgery on it and was able to get out bits of a stinger small and black now there is a hole there and is very painful. I have bacitracin on it and a bandaide any ideas to relieve the pain?

How do I get rid of hornets that have a nest INSIDE my vinyl siding next to my front door?

this is not a tip but, what do you do if you get stung by a hornet. If you don’t have like any popular medicene. Or there is a hornet nest right on top for our roof, and we hit it and ran back inside, and unfortinatily as we were hitting it one of us got stung on the wrist. SO what do wse do? It really hurts. BADLY!

Meestewrp - I am allergic. You can come and get mine if you want them that badly.

This is not a tip but a serious question. I have many bluebird houses @ my ranch in Eastern Kansas. Usually I have more hornets than bluebirds. Can anyone help me get rid of them? Thanks

from experience if you get stung by a BEE, the first thing you should do is to cut one piece of fresh garlic and wipe the infected place. this will not cause any infection or swollen and the stinger will be out immediatly. this had been tried and results were succesful 100%

I was stung by a hornet a day ago and could not remove the stinger, my hand is very sore and swollen. I was stung on the little finger knuckle. It is black where the stinger and swollen,red, purple and seems somewhat infected. It is very sore. Is there something I can use to draw the stinger out? I am using a natural antibiotics and also made a paste of soda but nothing seems to be working as yet .

Can you advise what to do?

Thankyou
Shirley

My neighbours are insisting that I get the Professionals in to remove a nest.

I have no problem with the nest; although, when the hornets get into my apartment, it sounds scary, and frightens my cats.

Any advice welcome on how I can remove my neighbours without disturbing the hornets?

I want my hornets back!
I hope we get hornets this year. They wipe out the mosquitos. Each year when we had hornet nests we had a comfy scene in our back yard garden and pool area. One hornet nest was no more that 25 feet from the steps into the pool. No stings and hardly a dang skeeter either.
The next two years we have had enough problems with mosquitos and some other small biting insects. I’ve watched the hornets eat them and would like to have them back. Any suggestions?
