That's why you use dust or pyrethrin spray as well, and seal them in afterwards. Hot burning wasp death!

Vespex is used here in New Zealand and has been a game changer. Wasps are the greatest pest in New Zealand if you measure pests in “kgs per hectare”.
With Vespex you don’t go looking for nests, you let the colony poison itself.
Because it is protein based and not sugar based, it’s not attractive to as many species. The downside is that the wasps only take it at a specific time of year - when they are consuming protein.
