They have a Wasp Killer that will shoot a stream 15-20 feet. It not only
kills them instantly, it soaks the nest and remains lethal. I shot some
between some glass windows and it killed them so fast that they didn't even
fall off the nest--- just stayed there like a taxidermy display. (It comes
with a straw for shooting the stream) I don't have the can here, but I
believe it has a petroleum base. Much more effective than the regular bug
spray, produces a sticky foam.
Black can 14oz, about $5

At this time of year the wasps start a nest in my ailerons a couple of
times each week. I'm allergic to wasps so each time that I go out to the
airport I look for the newly started nests and spray them with Raid
flying insect killer. Obviously to do this involves spraying the insect
killer inside the aileron and it just ocurred to me that I don't know
whether or not this stuff is corrosive. Anyone know? Anyone got any
other suggestions for getting rid of them? Flying with them in the wing
is not an option. If the find their way into the cockpit I'm in trouble.

Thanks
