How Do You Treat For Ground Wasps?
Ground wasps tend to choose the old tunnels and burrows that belonged to other yard pests such as moles or gophers. Since ground wasps can be aggressive and sting, they can be especially disconcerting to homeowners, and you will want to get rid of them. They are best treated by a professional exterminator; however, there are several methods for getting rid of them yourself. Choose an insecticide from your local hardware store. Look for an insecticide that includes carbaryl as a dust or liquid concentrate, chlorpyrifos as a dust, acephate as a liquid concentrate or diazinon as a liquid concentrate. Dusts are usually more effective since they penetrate deeper into the nests; however, either can be used. Make sure whatever insecticide you use that is approved for use in lawns. Mix the insecticide according to package directions. Locate the nest. Look for places the wasps are frequenting. Apply the insecticide directly to the hole, according to package directions. Repeat multiple treatment
