Living in MN, I have wasps nesting in the gunwales of my boat. Is there a product I could tuck up inside the boat to keep them out? To get them out, I’m thinking a tarp and bug bomb or a tarp and mosquito coil in a metal pan. Any other ideas?
No doubt wasps love nesting in boats. This happens because most any boat is close to water and the typical boat design includes all kinds of voids, gaps and seams which is ideal for wasp nests.
To stop the invasion, you have a couple of options.
As a boat owner myself, I can tell you what I use. Its highly effective, easy to deploy and ideal for any boat.
Lightly mist our FS MP AEROSOL through all the gaps and vents they’re using. FS MP uses an oil base, not common anymore, and as such it won’t lead to rust. It basically acts as a lubricant when applied. Pests don’t like it and will avoid where they encounter or detect it too. A light misting around my boat works at controlling any insect like spiders and MUD DAUBERS.
I typically treat every 2 weeks to keep pests under control. And I start in the spring, around March or April here in GA, and I’ll keep using it through the summer and well into September or October.
In summary, I suggest you go with the Phantom. It has all the features a boat owner needs and its both easy and cost effective as well.
