Hi- I have been reading through all the great information you have on repelling wasps (and hopefully mosquitos). We have a small wood porch off the back of our house where we see most of the activity. I am a little unsure which method is best for this situation – the dust or the liquid spray? My understanding is the dust works for a longer period of time so is there some advantage to using the spray as well or is it really just 2 ways of doing the same thing? Thanks!
In fact the two products are quite different but in general, they will work together well as a team and this is especially true for wasps. The difference between the two is where they work.
The Dust is for to cracks, crevices and voids using a good Hand Duster.
In these locations where the dust is well protected, treatments can last 6-12 months making it a great asset in any war against pests like wasps.
You’ll find them in our Wasp Article here:
Now the Spray; it’s for the surfaces like the homes siding, underneath overhangs and gutters and basically for areas where surface nesting wasps like to exploit. Use 1 oz per gallon per 500 sq/ft of surface area. Treatments will last 30 days and during this time the treatment should repel all pests that would normally try to land on these areas.
In summary, since homes can be targeted by so many different species of wasps, using a combination of both the Dust and the Spray will usually prove to be the best overall treatment program.
