    Yellowjackets Really Take The Bait

    You once stated that Onslaught could be mixed with baits for yellowjackets. Are there traps for this and how would it work?

    Come For the Sugar, Stay For the View

    It is autumn in New England and holly bushes are being swarmed by wasps, bees and other insects. I believe this is caused by aphid secretions and the holly flowers that bloom at this time. Are there any treatments that will help deter this from happening?

    Horse "Flies" Weren't Bad Enough

    I've been treating a 3-sided shelter that houses horses and the horse owners are complaining about wasps stinging the horses. I've dusted the voids and sprayed around the shelter with Transport Mikron, which seems to help for a few days and then the problem begins again. Any suggestions? Would some type of repellent work better? I know I'm killing the existing wasps, but within a matter of days...

    Wasps Over Water

    I have a client who has a well head infested with Polistes dominulus wasps. The nest was exposed when I removed the metal cover and it is sitting on the wiring at the top of the tube. Any pesticides used here would likely drip down into the water supply 20 feet below. Any suggestions on how to treat this and with what product? Dusts and liquid sprays seem dangerous and I don't want to get ...

    Killers of Cicadas, Not People

    Ant Baits And Wasps

    Realizing that maxforce bait or any other ant bait is not registered for the control of flying insects, I wonder about these baits killing yellow jackets or ground hornets that come in contact with it? In the old days "baits" used for hornets, yellow jackets, etc, were compounded with a sweet attractant. I am a PCO from Massachusetts. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Possibly Wasps?

    I have a homeowner who has red wasps flying around the exterior and sometimes getting inside. The house has vinyl siding, and they seem to be behind the siding but I can't really tell. It has a high roof line which makes it difficult to inspect. Is there anything I can do to maybe draw them to a trap? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Life Without Wasps

    I live in Utah and wasps have been pretty bad this year. In the past years we have been able to keep wasps from nesting on our customers' houses with Demand CS. This year it has not been as effective. Could you recommend a better long-lasting product that would keep wasps from buildng nests on our customers' homes?
