Time, Methods For
Wasp Control Given

How to get rid of wasps near the
house is a question coming often to
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
The safest, most effective way to
kill wasps is by thoroughly busting
or spraying the nest-at least an
hour after full darkness. Then the
Wasps r inside for the night.
Comblike nests may be treated BY
covering the open cells with an in
secticide dust containing five per
cent chlordane or five to ten per
cent DOT. The ~paper-like globular
nests of hornets or yellowjackets.
often found in trees or s%hrubbery.
have only one opening into which
spray must be directed heavily. Be-
cause oil in a spray may damage
plants or trees, a water emulsion
containing two per cent chlordane
or five per cent DOT is suggested.
For light on the job. use a flash
light. Place it on the ground be-
cause wasps come out and follow
the beam Of light. Wear dark
clotherS, and work fast.
