Is It Possible To Escape Wasp Nests?
Inexplorata offered a nice technique for using WD-40 to keep wasps from making a nest in a Reddit channel called LifeProTips. “Thanks to WD-40, I haven’t seen [a nest] in our yard in years.”
“On a whim, I went around the eaves looking for the beginnings of wasp nests, knocked them down, and sprayed a brief, small burst of WD-40 where the nest used to be.” I have not spotted a single wasp nest anywhere I ‘treated’ with a small spray of WD-40 in the five years since this ‘experiment’ began.” Nice!
